TL;DR Summary

An eight-year-old girl died after suffering a "medical emergency" while detained with her family at a border patrol facility in Texas. This comes amid a humanitarian crisis at the US-Mexico border, with a record number of deaths occurring while trying to cross. The Biden administration has lifted the Trump-era policy of Title 42, which used the pandemic to stop most migration at the border on public health grounds, but has expanded other policies, including banning people from specific countries from seeking asylum at the US border.
