The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) internal watchdog found no wrongdoing by immigration officials in the death of two migrant children who died last year.
The two children died last December in Border Patrol (CBP) custody after they made the dangerous trek through Mexico to cross into the United States illegally. Jakelin Maquin died Dec. 8 of sepsis caused by a bacterial infection at age 7, while 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo died on Dec. 24, also from sepsis caused by a bacteria. The department launched investigations following their deaths.
