Phoenix, June 18 (RHC)-- In the United States, reports have emerged of a 6-year-old migrant girl from India who died of heat stroke in the Arizona desert last week after being smuggled into the U.S. with her mother and three other Indian nationals.  

U.S. Border Patrol found the body of Gurupreet Kaur near Lukeville, Arizona.  The temperature hovered around 108 degrees Fahrenheit that day.  The girl’s mother had gone to search for water, while she stayed with two of the other migrants in her group.

The volunteer humanitarian group No More Deaths, which provides water and other assistance to migrants crossing the harsh Sonoran Desert, tweeted: “Asylum seekers have been forcibly turned away from the nearby Lukeville port of entry. … We need #water not walls.”

In other news, a new report by The New York Times has revealed the youngest child to be ripped from their family after migrating to the U.S. via the southern border was a 4-month-old baby.  The child, Constantin Mutu, was taken by U.S. officials under Trump’s “zero-tolerance” family separation policy and put in a foster home.  His father was put in an immigrant prison before being deported to his native Romania.

Constantin has since been reunited with his parents and has displayed signs of emotional and developmental issues.  His parents say he is not walking or talking at 20 months.

And, in more immigration news, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has put 5,200 immigrants in quarantine after they were exposed to mumps or chicken pox.  Thirty-nine immigration prisons around the country are affected by the outbreak.
