U.S. border agents detain Mexican girl being rushed to hospital


(Reuters) - A 10-year-old Mexican girl with cerebral palsy living illegally in Texas was in federal custody on Thursday after the ambulance rushing her to surgery had to pass through a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, a family attorney and government officials said.

Rosa Maria Hernandez was being transported from a medical center in Laredo, on the border with Mexico where the girl lives with her family, to a hospital in Corpus Christi, about 130 miles (210 km) away, for emergency gall bladder surgery early on Tuesday.
