A court-appointed monitor said in January that child migrants held in medical isolation may be overlooked when Border Patrol stations are too crowded.
Wise plans to submit a report soon on the May 17 death of the girl, who died on her ninth day in custody after being transferred to a station in Harlingen, Texas, with her family after being diagnosed with influenza. The agency limits custody to 72 hours under its own policy.
The Border Patrol also struggled to meet a requirement to conduct regular medical assessments of children when they came in families and were in crowded stations, Wise said in January. CBP's relatively detailed public account of the girl's time in custody does not directly address the requirement for exams every five days or how crowded the Harlingen station was when she was there.
