A 17-year-old Honduran migrant child has died in US custody at a shelter in Safety Harbor, Florida. The White House confirmed the death and the Department of Health and Human Services has opened a medical investigation. The Honduran government has requested an investigation and if there is any responsibility, to apply the full weight of the law. The news comes amid concerns of a looming surge at the border now that Title 42 pandemic-era restrictions have expired.
