The cruelty is the point.
These failures “should not be viewed as rare anomalies, but rather as systemic weaknesses that if not remedied, are likely to result in future harm to children in CBP custody,”
So in actuality her death wasn’t preventable. It could have been if the system was something else than what it is, but it isn’t and likely won’t be.
Mr Wise’s report stated that border patrol staff were told about her medical condition when she arrived at the site where she was held in Harlington, Texas. But that information was not passed on to other agents, he wrote.
Both can be true at the same time.
So, again, her death would have been preventable if the system was different and staffed by different people, which it isn’t.
Or just if in the existing system they just talked to their damn collegues and relayed the medical information they were provided.
Oh god - I swear no one talks to co-workers or relays information anywhere in the US now adays. I don’t understand it, I don’t understand the systems that can’t handle bouncing you around different people when they also enforce doing that, and I don’t think it’s specific to the US border patrol.
