Immigrant child with cerebral
palsy detained after surgery
HOUSTON (AP) — A10-year-old girl with
cerebral palsy who entered the United States
from Mexico without permission a decade
ago is potentially facing deportation after
having to cross a Border Patrol checkpoint
in South Texas for emergency gallbladder
surgery, a family lawyer said Thursday.
Immigration advocates are protesting
Rosa Maria Hernandez's case and say Border
Patrol should show more discretion in the
cases of sick children who are in the U.S.
illegally but need medical treatment.
Leticia Gonzalez, an attorney for the
Hernandez family, said Thursday that Rosa
Maria was taken with a cousin from the Texas
border city of Laredo to a children's hospital
in Corpus Christi, about 150 miles (240
kilometers) away.They had to passthrough
one of several Border Patrol checkpoints set
up in South Texas, north of the U.S.-Mexico
border.
Gonzalez said Border Patrol agents
allowed the girl and her cousin to pass, but
followed the hospital vehicle taking them.
At the hospital, agents stood by and refused
to let Rosa Maria's relative close the door
to their room so they could keep watch
over the girl, Gonzalez said. And after the
surgery was complete, agents stood ready
to escort Rosa Maria to a federal facility for
unaccompanied minors in the U.S. illegally,
located another 140 miles away (225
kilometers) in San Antonio.
Rosa Maria is being held at the facility
indefinitely, the attorney said. Even if she is
eventually released to a sponsor approved
by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, the girl will undergo
processing and could be deported. Gonzalez
said it could be several weeks before she is
released.
"They just refused to allow the child to go
home,"Gonzalez said Thursday.
In a statement, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection confirmed its agents had
escorted Rosa Maria from a checkpoint
to the hospital. It said Border Patrol
agents were "committed to enforcing
the immigration laws of this nation.'The
statement added that "once medically
cleared she will be processed accordingly."
HHS, which oversees facilities for
unaccompanied minors in the U.S. illegally,
did not respond to a request for comment.
U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio
Democrat, blamed the Trump administration
for adopting "callous policies"toward
immigrants.
"They're treating her like a hardened
convict," Castro said.
Gonzalez said Rosa Maria has "difficulty
understanding exactly what's taking place"
and is closer in development to a child that's
4 or 5 years old. Her parents are both in the
United States illegally and came with Rosa
Maria to the U.S. in 2007, when the girl was
a newborn, in part to seek better medical
treatment for her cerebral palsy. They sent
Rosa Maria with a cousin to the hospital
because the cousin is a U.S. citizen and could
pass through the checkpoint.
The case is reminiscent of a September
incident in which a man and woman in the
U.S. illegally were followed by Border Patrol
to the same Corpus Christi hospital when
their newborn child needed surgery.
Astrid Dominguez, immigration policy
strategist for the American Civil Liberties
Union ofTexas, said people without legal
status in Texas' border regions have long had
to decide whether to seek medical care and
face detention, including during the Obama
administration.
"This isn't an isolated case,"Dominiguez
said. "This is a risk they have to take to get
medical attention for their children."

Police: San Antonio mishandled
sex crime investigations
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —The San Antonio
Police Department Chief says numerous
sex crime cases reported to the department
weren't properly investigated.
The San Antonio Express-News reports
that an internal audit of the cases assigned
to the department's Special Victims Unit
revealed the mishandling.The department's
Internal Affairs division further investigated
the situation.
Chief William McManus says disciplinary
actions will be taken against officers
involved. He says a lieutenant and two
sergeants were transferred out of the unit for
failing to properly supervise it.
McManus says the department aims to
investigate all reported crimes and assist
victims. He says the investigation will
continue until the department is certain all
cases have been properly handled.
City attorneys also plan to conduct a
review of all cases the unit handles.
