Officials reportedly confirmed on Friday that the case of a migrant child who died while in government custody has now become the subject of an inquiry by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The official confirmed that on May 10 a medical inquiry was started.
Local law enforcement and Florida’s Department of Children and Families have been informed, according to an HHS spokesman, and the Division of Health for Unaccompanied Children at HHS is also carefully examining the situation.
Jean-Pierre opted not to comment on whether or not President Biden will contact the child’s relatives.
“It is sad news, it is deeply saddening to hear, and we are certainly aware of the tragic loss and our hearts go out to the family,” Jean-Pierre said.
She continued by saying that she had not discussed the matter with the president.
According to reports, the youngster immigrated from Honduras and spent weeks in the department’s care.
Prior to the lifting of Title 42, which took place on Friday morning, the youngster passed away.
Before the COVID-era policy, which permitted the swift deportation of asylum applicants, was lifted, officials had been advising travelers that the border was not open.

He was not a “young child.” He was 17 years old. Still tragic.
The Biden-Harris Administration couldn’t care less who lives or dies at the border. Their only concern is how fast they can destroy America.
And not Biden’s fault. If the migrants weren’t trying to gain access illegally, the teen would not have died while in U.S.
Custody.
What’s the STORY on this kid??? What happened? Why investigate if he “just died”? Do an autopsy & find out why! Report the STORY, not your “condolences”.
I see the site is afraid to post anything that might support President Biden. Still awaiting moderation after 18 hours, yet someone posted lazter and her post was ‘allowed’.
