US border thugs put Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez in a cell and did not have a doctor to look at him. Next morning they found him dead, so they lied about what they had done.

I don't think those thugs were exceptional. It seems to be typical of their agency.

Someone quoted in the article calls Hernandez Vasquez a "child", apparently thinking we will feel more outraged that way. I think the US government should not do that to anyone regardless of per age. Anyway, someone of age 16 is not a child.
