Lawyers for the father of a Guatemalan girl who died in Border Patrol custody said Saturday that the family is asking the U.S. government for a neutral and transparent investigation into the girl’s death. Jakelin Caal Maquin died a week ago at a hospital in El Paso, Texas, a little more than a day after she and her father were arrested with a group of about 160 other people the night of Dec. 6 in Antelope Wells, N.M., a remote border crossing in southern New Mexico.
