The death of a migrant teen in CBP custody has raised more questions

Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez was a 16-year-old asylum seeker who was taken into CBP custody. When he had a 103 degree fever and  the flu, a medical professional said he should be monitored in the next two hours and taken to the hospital if his condition worsened, but instead he was left in his cell. He died and was discovered four hours later by his cellmate. CBP’s news release reports, saying he was found by staff during a welfare check and was checked on throughout the night, contradicts the cellblock video, which shows Carlos collapsing and writhing on the floor for 25 minutes before becoming still and undiscovered for four 4 and a half hours. CBP officials have not explained why the nurse’s recommendation was ignored, but reported that Carlos’s death is being investigated.

CBP holding people in inhuman conditions

The U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona issued an order finding that CBP is violating the constitutional rights of immigration detainees by holding them in conditions of confinement that fail to meet their basic human needs, and directing CBP to take certain steps to improve conditions in those facilities, known as hieleras. The injunction stems from a class action lawsuit filed in June 2015 by a group of immigration detainees who alleged that they were subjected to inhumane and punitive conditions during their confinement in Tucson Sector CBP holding facilities.
