Congressional Democrats are demanding a full investigation into U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials after a 7-year-old Guatemalan girl died last week while in U.S. custody, a report said Friday. The letter said the investigation should examine "appropriateness of holding children in Border Patrol stations," which they claim were "never designed to hold children." The Homeland Security Department's inspector general has opened an investigation, and congressional leaders also promised one. "A 7-year-old girl should not be dying of dehydration and shock in Customs and Border Protection custody," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted. Customs and Border Protection said Friday that the girl initially appeared healthy and that an interview raised no signs of trouble.
