An eight-year-old girl died on Wednesday in the US state of Texas while she and her family were in the custody of border officials.
US Border and Customs officials say the girl had an emergency at the Harlingen Border Patrol Station near the Gulf of Mexico. The family took the girl to the hospital, where she died.
More detailed information about the girl’s nationality or what happened was not disclosed.
Last week, a 17-year-old Honduran boy who entered the country unaccompanied died in the custody of border officials in Florida.
In the United States, a rule significantly limiting the entry of migrants expired on Friday last week, which is why the situation at the border has been closely monitored.
