Illinois Congressman Jesus ‘Chuy’ Garcia is speaking out after the death of a migrant child who was being bused from Texas to Chicago.
Garcia issued a statement Friday night alongside Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro. They said they're both "sadden and horrified, but not surprised" to learn a 3-year-old died while en route to Chicago.
The tragedy involving the 3-year-old is the first time the state of Texas has announced a death since it began shuttling thousands of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border last year. "Every loss of life is a tragedy," the Texas Division of Emergency Management said in a statement. "Once the child presented with health concerns, the bus pulled over and security personnel on board called 9-1-1 for emergency attention."The child received treatment from paramedics and later died at a hospital, according to the agency. The bus departed from the Texas border city of Brownsville.
