1/ Darlyn Cristabel Cordova-Valle hadn’t seen her mom in 9 years. She came here to see her mom. She was hospitalized soon after she got here. Her mom asked for Darlyn to be released to her. The government refused. She died on September 29 in our government’s custody. She was 10.

The tragedy is that our politicians have created an environment where our laws are not enforced. This incentives people to break our laws. These are unfortunate casualties of a broken system. Fix immigration and secure the border. Fix it correctly!

I agree, we should enforce the domestic and international laws that require proper handling of asylum seekers that approach our ports of entry and prosecute the criminal and cruel mishandling of children in federal custody that has resulted in assaults, rapes, trauma, and deaths.
