This marks the first time that Texas has publicly reported a death related to the transportation of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border, which began last year. In a statement released Friday, Texas authorities confirmed the child’s death but did not provide information about the child’s origin or the cause of their illness. The Illinois Department of Public Health stated that the child, who was 3 years old, died on Thursday in Marion County, situated in Illinois’ southern region. The Texas Division of Emergency Management expressed their sorrow, stating, “Every loss of life is a tragedy.” They went on to explain that when the child exhibited health problems, the bus made an emergency stop, and security personnel called 9-1-1 for urgent care. The child was treated by emergency medical technicians but subsequently died in a hospital. The bus had left from Brownsville, a city on the Texas border, and officials noted that all passengers had undergone temperature checks and were questioned about any existing medical issues. Representatives from Texas’ emergency management agency did not immediately answer inquiries for more information on Friday. Illinois authorities have communicated their commitment to working closely with health officials, state police, and federal agencies “to the fullest extent possible to get answers in this tragic situation.” Since last year, more than 30,000 migrants have been transported to Democratic-controlled cities across the nation, including Chicago, Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles, as a part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s extensive border plan known as Operation Lone Star.
