HOUSTON — The mother of a toddler who died weeks after being released from the nation’s largest family detention center filed a legal claim seeking $60 million from the U.S. government for the child’s death.

Attorneys for Yazmin Juarez submitted the claim against multiple agencies Tuesday. Juarez’s 1-year-old daughter, Mariee, died in May.

I don't know if the laws have changed but I thought I remember that foreigners can not sue the US government.

In the world of the illegal immigrant just because a child dies doesn't mean they can no longer be used as a meal ticket.

It looks as though Ms Jaurez and her daughter were 'catch and released' and mom had plenty of time to seek medical care for Mariee on the US taxpayer nickle. So, basically the US government is being sued for releasing them. As far as unsafe conditions of the detention center, she can thank her diseased unscreened fellow illegal immigrants.
