A 7-year-old girl named Jakelin Caal died while in Customs and Border Patrol custody. While the government has blamed Jakelin journey to the U.S. from Guatemala with her father for her dehydration and death, there's much we don't know about her care in CBP custody, including why she wasn't given medical care for at least 90 minutes. It also took the Department of Homeland Security a week before they publicly announced this horrific news.
Add your name to our petition and demand Congress investigate the deaths of children like Jakelin while in our government's custody.
