This is Mariee Juárez. She was 18-months-old when she entered ICE detention in Dilley, TX.
When she fell ill, ICE treated her with honey packets, vapor rub, and ibuprofen. They never hospitalized her—not with a 104 fever or after losing 20% of her body weight.#justiceformariee pic.twitter.com/p0sRnDPtc0

“We have to fight for Mariee because she is no longer here,” said Rosa Lopez of Make the Road New Jersey, an immigrant rights advocacy group which organized the vigil. “The death and detention of Mariee are a result of cruel & inhumane policies of this country. #JusticeforMariee https://t.co/oLkRtYLWmE

We’ve warned that ICE detention centers are spreading disease due to overcrowded, unsanitary conditions and substandard medical care. Baby Mariee got sick in #ICE detention and died 6 weeks later. https://t.co/cWbvYXgY6Y @cbsthismorning #JusticeForMariee
