A 17-year-old Honduran boy died while in the custody of U.S. immigration on May 10 while being detained at a facility in Safety Harbor, Florida.

“The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is deeply saddened by this tragic loss and our heart goes out to the family, with whom we are in touch,” the department said in a statement to reporters.

American and Honduran officials confirmed the death on May 12, one day after Title 42 asylum restrictions ended.

The teen has been identified as Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza, according to a May 11 post on Twitter from Enrique Reina, Honduran foreign relations minister.

Maradiaga entered the United States a few weeks ago, but neither the cause of death nor the circumstances of any sickness or medical treatment were immediately available.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who were responsible for the facility where Maradiaga was detained, said in a statement that a review of his medical records and a medical examiner’s investigation were ongoing.

“As is standard practice for any situation involving the death of an unaccompanied child or a serious health outcome, HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Division of Health for Unaccompanied Children (DHUC) is reviewing all clinical details of this case, including all inpatient health care records,” HHS said. “A medical examiner investigation is underway.

“Due to privacy and safety reasons, ORR cannot share further information on individual cases of children who have been in our care,” the department said. “While in ORR care, children have access to health care, legal services, translation services, and mental and behavioral health counselors and are able to connect with family through a phone call in a private area at a minimum of twice a week.”

Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, commented on the news during the May 12 press briefing saying, “It is sad news, it is deeply saddening to hear, and we are certainly aware of the tragic loss, and our hearts go out to the family.”

However, Jean-Pierre said she had not spoken to President Joe Biden on the issue, and she was unsure if he had been briefed on the death.

When reporters in the briefing pressed about why HHS has not updated the number of children currently in their custody since January despite previous monthly reports, Jean-Pierre said that information was outside of her purview.

Biden was highly critical of the Trump administration’s treatment of migrant children during the 2020 presidential campaign: “Over the last year, six children have tragically died in U.S. custody at the border. It’s unacceptable,” Biden said in 2019.

“It’s not who we are. And silence is complicity. It’s on all of us to stand up and speak out. America is a nation of immigrants. We must guarantee everyone’s treated with dignity.”
