Update 3:33pm Eastern: HillReporter has just learned, via the Washington Post, that the The American Immigration Lawyers Association has confirmed that a child did in fact die shortly after being released from the ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas. This is what AILA had to say:

“AILA has learned that a toddler died soon after release from the Dilley South Texas Family Residential Center,” Gregory Z. Chen, director of government relations for the 15,000-member association, said in a statement. “We do not have information on the cause of death or information that confirms a connection between medical treatment at STFRC and this death.”

Update 12:44pm Eastern: After several rounds of back-and-forth with ICE officials, Hill Reporter was able to ask if it “is aware of a child dying who was previously detained or not?” ICE Representative Danielle Bennett responded with a simple, “no.”.................................

1. Donald J. Trump has murdered a precious child.

He carried out this despicable act at a former Wal Mart in Texas. That's what happened.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. He also killed a man in his Tower fire on 5th Ave because he would not install sprinklers. . . nt

[whopis01]

30. Remember when right wing nuts were claiming WalMarts were being closed to become detention centers?

I guess they were actually right about that one.

What was it Alex Jones said about Jade Helm? I think it was HELM stood for Homeland Elimination of Local Militants or something like that?

[ancianita]

2. State sponsored child trafficking, an international crime under Geneva, and now negligent homicide.

[ck4829]

3. It begins...

[riversedge]

12. kids in close quarters--probably some not

receiving immunizations--something like this was bound to happen. Officials knew this or should have known. Everything is a secret in trump land.

[Ilsa]

33. It could be asthma or RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), which is highly contagious

for kids predisposed to problems.

As hot as texas has been, there were probably daily ozone warnings for the very young and very old who have asthma or chronic respiratory diseases.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. ICE centers so far: sex abuse, child death, sadistic psych abuse, drugging w psychotropics,

It's all on Дональд Трамп and his RubleCon Party enablers.

Republicon family values.

[jcgoldie]

5. this whole thing sucks

Its so intentionally fucked up and evil that it makes all the rest of these issues including russia election interference pale in comparison.

Come on you Christian hypocrites start giving a fuck!

[Liberalagogo]

7. Shithole is officially

a murderer.

[Eyeball_Kid]

24. He's fine with it. Power over life and death is the most addictive kind. n/t

[Afromania]

8. Fuck each and every one of the rat sheering motherfuckers that made this shit possible.

For each one of those babies that won't see their parents again due to their unmitigated hate. I wish them all a rapid and definitive approach to oblivion because they are all accomplices to these heinous acts.

[jayschool2013]

9. Here's the link from the original story in the Post

The Washington Post story

The HillReporter is just following the Post.

Horrific story, if true.

[Equinox Moon]

10. People need to be arrested.

[Stuart G]

11. Who will take responsibility?, When? What will that take?

[duforsure]

13. When its all exposed what they've done to these children

I expect those responsible will get time for what they've done to them.

[Retrograde]

14. The first we know of

or the first that the regime will admit to. I wouldn't be surprised if there have been others previously.

And then there are all the children who are traumatized, or have come down with more minor infections, or are being developmentally stunted, or subject to all the other horrors. And where are the Right to Lifers? Not a peep out of them when it comes to post-fetal beings.

[Solly Mack]

15. I want to scream.

It keeps getting worse and I want to scream.

[StarryNite]

16. Poor little one.

They don't care because that child was not in the womb. They care more about a mass of cells or even just a possible mass of cells than they do about the unborn. And it's not really so much that they care about the unborn as it is that they have no respect for a woman's rights over her own body.

[Kind of Blue]

17. This is just so awful. I can't express my outrage and sadness.

Why does these people demand so much suffering and sacrifice of the innocent???

[pandr32]

18. That poor child ;-(

I have asthma and know too well how frightening it is to struggle to breathe. I am a grown-up.

The asshats rushed in to commit this atrocity before they could be stopped and now innocent people legally trying to apply for asylum are living and dying in worse conditions then they could have imagined due to the cruelty of this regime...er...administration.

No-one to comfort these children

[spike jones]

19. Did North Korea release a prisoner just before he died? n/t

[SunSeeker]

25. Yes. The parallels are sickeningly similar. Trump followed Kim's M.O.

1. Improper imprisonment/separation from family.

2. Mistreatment/torture while in confinement.

3. Rushed release upon it becoming evident death was imminent so that the victim's actual passing occurs elsewhere.

This child's passing was worse, actually, since she died alone, without her family, unlike Kim's victim who was surrounded by his family when he passed.

[Snellius]

20. Sounds like they released her, knowing she was going to die, so not in custody.

When this all comes out, it's going to be horrible. Beyond neglect. Negligent murder.

[Kensan]

23. Precisely...

The cynic in me believes someone made a calculated decision that it would be worse from a public relations standpoint if the child died while still in custody. Her condition was being "monitored" from afar, and likely no one offered any assistance. Then they rushed her out the door, so she would technically not be in their care when her medical issues turned worse.

Negligent homicide....to be added to the list of offences committed by these cretins.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

36. I think I'm going to vomit.

[MontanaMama]

21. Negligent homicide.

This child died alone with no one to comfort her. Someone should be in prison.

[Vinca]

22. How tragic, disgusting and totally unnecessary.

The child should have been given to the grandmother on day one if they were determined to take her from her mother. Somebody's got to pay. This can't get swept under the rug. Fucking Trump - I hate every cell in his body.

[SunSeeker]

27. +1

[CTyankee]

26. Let's just say it...he's a child killer.

I'm taking a Bonine tablet because now I am so nauseated I may get sick and vomit.

[SunSeeker]

28. Yep. He's a depraved, traitorous child killer. nt

[dalton99a]

38. +1

[Docreed2003]

29. Disgusting and entirely predictable...

Yet this administration has zero care or concern about this poor child... sick

[llmart]

31. Will this be on all the news stations tonight?

I highly doubt it. They have to cover more important things like his rallies.

I can't even put into words how disgusted I am with the people who allowed this.

[lark]

32. So torturing brown children wasn't sufficient.

He had to move up to actually murdering them!! His actions, his lack of care, his refusal to even have someone else handle this in a normal way, lead to the death of this child. They only want to maximize the profits they steal from taxpayers and don't actually want to provide care for these children, just cages, cold, insufficient space, assault and now due to lack of medical care and plain hate, an innocent child is dead. MURDERER.

[Blue Owl]

34. Blood on little hands

[Glimmer of Hope]

35. Some people need to go to jail. Rip little one.

[mysteryowl]

37. May the full truth come out with accountability and justice actions

RIP little one.
Blessings to the grieving family.

[Bayard]

39. I can't imagine how her parents feel

They brought her to America to escape death. And they couldn't even be with her when she died.
