The girl's death marks the first known death of a migrant child in Border Patrol custody since the Trump administration, when several minors died, including because of flu infections. of a 17-year-old migrant teen from Honduras who was being housed in one of the department's shelters for unaccompanied minors in Florida. HHS is also investigating that death, which officials said likely stemmed from an epileptic seizure.
