DHS watchdog finds no wrongdoing in deaths of 2 Central American migrant children

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) internal watchdog said Friday it found no wrongdoing or malfeasance by immigration officials in connection with the deaths of two migrant children from Guatemala while in U.S. Border Patrol custody last December.
The DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that the deaths of 7-year-old Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin and 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo were caused by infections -- not from any misconduct rendered by officials at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Jakelin and her father were apprehended in Antelope Wells, N.M., on Dec. 6, 2018. The state medical examiner's autopsy found that she died of "natural causes due to sequelae [a diseased condition] of Streptococcal sepsis," according to the OIG.
