And the fact that the father said the kid was to be released.
On Wednesday, eager to frame the death of a Guatemalan child as the fault of the Department of Homeland Security, one CBS news anchor had to be enlightened by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan that the release of the child from the hospital was not the decision of DHS, but the medical staff at the hospital.
Co-anchor Dana Jacobson’s first question asked McAleenan, “In our reporting earlier, Commissioner, it was said that the child had a 103-degree fever earlier in the day. Why bring a sick child back to a detention center instead of keeping him at the hospital?” McAleenan replied, “That’s a call made by the medical professionals.”
