ProPublica: House Chairman Says Trump Administration Misled Congress on Boy’s Death in Custody
“This is inexcusable.” The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee responds to ProPublica’s report on the death of a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant in Border Patrol custody.
Stories like this are why investigative journalism is so important. The Trump administration brushed aside this death simply reporting this teen was found unresponsive. It turns out there is much more to the story, and perhaps Vasquez could have been saved if officers followed proper procedures and recommendations.
