An immigrant woman has died while at a Border Patrol facility in Harlingen, Texas, the same facility where an eight-year-old girl died earlier this year after being denied adequate medical care, according to United States Customs and Border Protection.

The federal agency disclosed Tuesday that an unnamed 29-year-old woman died Monday afternoon, roughly 20 hours after being apprehended by agents in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas.

In a statement, CBP said she had been encountered with her family on Sunday evening.

"She experienced a medical emergency while in custody, was treated by an on-site medical team, Emergency Medical Services were called to the station and transported her to the local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased," said CBP, the overseeing agency of the Border Patrol.

The U.S. government did not disclose what the medical emergency was or the nationality of the woman.

CBP's internal affairs office is conducting an investigation into the death, which is standard protocol following an in-custody loss of life. CBP also informed the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and the Harlingen Police Department about the incident.

But the incident could trigger more questions about care provided at the Harlingen facility, given the recent deaths of people being held there.

In May, 8-year-old Anadith Tanay Reyes Alvarez from Panama died after being diagnosed with the flu. The girl's mother has blamed CBP for the death because requests for emergency care were denied multiple times, according to Alvarez Benedicks. Benedicks said her daughter had underlying conditions: sickle cell anemia and a heart condition.

“They killed my daughter, because she was nearly a day and a half without being able to breathe,” Benedicks said. “She cried and begged for her life, and they ignored her. They didn’t do anything for her."
