U.S. Customs and Border Protection will perform medical checks on every child in its custody following the death of an 8-year-old boy from Guatemala.

The measure was introduced amid scrutiny and criticism from politicians and other groups after the second death of an immigrant child in the agency’s care just this month, with a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl dying due to what the agency said was dehydration and hunger.
