An 8-year-old girl died in Border Patrol Custody after complaining of stomach pain, vomiting, and a seizure. The girl's mother had previously told the AP that agents had repeatedly ignored her pleas for medical help for her daughter, who had a history of heart problems and sick cell anemia. Several steps have been taken to ensure appropriate care for all medically fragile people in Border Patrol custody, including reviewing cases of all known medically fragile individuals currently in custody and examining medical-care practices at CBP facilities.
