You are assuming the claim is true. With $40 million at stake. You need to believe causation. 6 weeks doesn’t even prove correlation.

Based on what?

The child got sick while in custody.

The child was released from detention on March 25th and flown to NJ.

The next day, on the 26th, the child was taken to the Emergency Room and spent the next six weeks dying in a hospital.

Someone ■■■■■■ up.

By March 15, Mariee had lost 2 pounds – nearly 8 percent of her body weight – and her symptoms were worse, according to the claim. Mariee was examined at the detention facility’s clinic several more times as her symptoms worsened. Her fever remained high and she was unable to keep down medication or food, according to the claim.

Finally, on March 25, Yazmin and Mariee Juarez were transferred out of the Dilley facility and put on a flight to New Jersey from San Antonio, according to the claim, but "no medical personnel examined Mariee to clear her for travel."When Yazmin and Mariee Juarez arrived in New Jersey earlier on the morning of March 26, “Mariee’s condition was dire,” according to the claim. She was seen by a pediatrician who tried to open her lungs because she was having difficulty breathing but was sent home with instructions for Yazmin to monitor her symptoms in case they got worse, according to the claim.
Later that day, Mariee was admitted to the emergency room, but it was too late: she was diagnosed with viral bronchiolitis and tested positive for adenovirus and parainfluenza 3, according to the claim. She would spend the next – and final – six weeks of her life in the hospital in “progressive respiratory failure,” the claim states.

Allegedly.

Uh oh. Sounds like obamacare.

Going super stupid on this I see.

Okay… you have a good day.

Why? The doctor saw her, treated her, and sent her home. Last hands.

You think she signed up for BCBS on the plane?

in what way?

Hopefully that will be the only infant that dies because of Trump’s detention policies. 60 million each gets expensive quickly.

I stand by my statement. You have yet to disprove it.

The major remedy is to stop people from crossing the border illegally. Increased border protection would be the best way to stop something like this from recurring.
Crossing the Rio Grande in order to get here illegally is a risky situation for a mother to put her toddler in.
If she were an American citizens she would at least be charged with child abuse for what she did.

The law firm knows more about this than you do.

Saying what “should” happen has no bearing on what actually did happen.

The whole law suit is about what “should” have happened. The primary and initial actor in causing this is the mother who dragged that toddler across the Rio Grande.
And the primary way to reduce the chances of this from happening in the future is to make it less profitable to try to cross illegally.

The child got sick while in the care of the United States.

There is no getting around that.

You stand by this statement?

Of course. The baby got sick in Texas.

When the Govt takes custody of someone, they are responsible for them.

Doesn’t matter how they ended up there.

Astounding, simply astounding.
