The child was still in CBP custody after a week, against the federal law requiring minors be sent to HHS within 72hrs of determining they are unaccompanied. There is no indication in this CBP statement about WHY they broke the law, but they do say he was "due for placement." 
@ifindkarma @axidentaliberal @sewell_holly @jomareewade @ImmJusticeNOW @B52Malmet @TheLoyalO @RepJayapal @RepPeterDeFazio @moved2italy The carnage is piling up.
Recall: no children had died in TEN YEARS in CBP custody before last fall. None. Not even during the huge crush of unaccompanied minors of 2014-16 which saw the opening of Homestead for the first time.
Not one, in TEN YEARS.

Early on Sunday, he told staff at Rio Grande Valley Sector’s Central Processing Center that he wasn't feeling well. A nurse practitioner diagnosed him with influenza A, prescribed him tamiflu.

He was "medically assessed" & kept in a "short-term holding room."
*Why he wasn't sent to a hospital will be one of the questions explored during the investigation.

Either way, he was unresponsive, could not be revived.
The 2 1/2 year old died of flu, too, probably.

His immune system was for shït.
Have these JACKWAGGONS LEARNT NOTHING!!??

Because of family separation, because of metering, because of their inhumane practices, the trump admin--Stephen Miller--are forcing immigrants to find other, more dangerous routes into the US, and die trying.
