MrMurder37 It is a good action, children are especially susceptible because of their lower body weight, propensity to diarrhea and the consequent loss of electrolytes.

Then the DamnDemTraitors will want free care for anything that ails the ILLEGALS.

Dems have blood on their hands for funding the is fiasco

Because their parents are irresponsible we have to use tax payer money on illegal children!When to parents take responsibility?Democrats-are okay at killing American babies,but not okay with illegals killing their children!

Can someone please throw the parents in jail?

Look at all of the people who support forced birth not caring about these children. I’m shocked...no, I’m not. Human garbage never shocks me.

Food and water are the necessities, maybe start with confirming those first?!?

High time to do so 😡

Blame the parents its their own fault

Another example of medical malpractice.....

Shame, shame, shame on the great USA.

SecNielsen , to watch you snicker at the questions about how many children have died in your custody was disgusting. But not surprising. You have no heart.

Can you imagine a parent putting this trek on a child, why would you walk your child into the ground!!!

They werent giving them medical exams before?

If you cannot keep them safe, free them. FLOTUS POTUS

Figuring out out who is sick is not the as treatinv them. Are they going to dump thevsick ones at the bus depot in the middle of the night?

So now we have to pay for medical checks because their parents are negligent...go figure.

an absurdity those smaller children of other countries be not extradited to extradicion origin place and they be arrested and dying in a concentration camp that is totally a concentration camp of small children something against the international laws that protect the smallests

The LEAST this country can do

We could just turn everyone away at the border. That would eliminate the US governments responsiblity to house and provide care, and place the blame where it rightfully should be placed...on the parents

Don’t forget to charge their parents with murder or abuse! Also when US Customs is done providing free medical care to non US citizens we have millions ofAmeticans, including vets who want equal treatment

Tragic but I bet these poor children were to far gone when they took custody. This is on the parents

See related stories from the center, right and left at

That just a little late for these two , don’t you think

The parents need to go to jail for child abuse they killed her children on American soil they did not feed them for a day's build a wall build a wall build more than ever

Ask Kirsten Neilson now if she knows how many children have died in custody......last week she had no idea, said she would find out..nice, since she RUNS THE DAMN DEPARTMENT.... “At least 2 Kirsten”....

Ohh another child losing their life is all it takes FOH! This whole administration & border patrol need to be held accountable.

Kirstjen Nielsen Is likely saying mission accomplished. I née wa I née wa ... wa wa (it’s WALL & you don’t need it what you need is to not be a racist, yet she can care less, it’s another body bag.

There is little the United States can do if these parents insist on abusing their children

send them back to there own country

MattMurph24 Maybe turn on the heat too so the children aren't freezing cold

This (safety and health) should have been No. 1 on the to do list if they were going to incarcerate children. When the Dems. takeover the House, DHS will be a fertile field for investigations. Sec. of DHS should be fired in the meantime.

Lol let's give them all free healthcare now. Can't even get that for our own poor. This kid was sent to the hospital and released with what they thought was a cold. Then his father refused treatment while he was throwing up all night. He was dead on arrival. Learn to read

POTUS FLOTUS how many more children have to die? You have the power to fix this!!

In custodyndeaths of children should not happen.

WHY WAS THIS ' NOT ' DONE TO BEGIN WITH. Have all females in custody been properly cared for, or, are some of them gone missing? My concern is some have been sold to human traffickers.

CBP Orders Medical Checks For Detained Children After Guatemalan Boy DiesCBP orders medical checks for detained children after Guatemalan boy dies in government custody This makes sense, since their parents weren't likely to provide any medical care for them. No doubt they were coming to the US for free medical care, housing and a new, free, car. BuildTheWall Discourage the foolhardy border invasions which lead to this. No investigation. 18
