A Guatemalan mother whose toddler died weeks after being released from a Texas immigrant family detention center is suing the private prison company that operates the facility.
Yazmin Juárez, who testified in Congress earlier this month about her 21-month-old daughter's death, filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking $40 million in damages from CoreCivic, which runs the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. Migrant mom recalls daughter's death in emotional testimony Juarez and her daughter, Mariee, were detained for three weeks at the 2,400-bed facility last year. Mariee died six-and-a-half weeks after their release.
"What I can tell you is we have deep sympathy for the family and the tragic loss of their child six weeks after leaving the facility," Gilchrist said in a written statement Wednesday."We care about every person entrusted to us, especially vulnerable populations for which our partners rightfully have very high standards that we work hard to meet each day.
