A seven-year-old girl who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with her father last week died after being taken into the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal immigration authorities confirmed Thursday.
An official from Guatemala's foreign ministry identified the girl as Jackeline Caal. The official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to share information, also identified the girl's 29-year-old father as Nery Caal.
The foreign ministry said Friday that the girl and her father were from an area in northern Guatemala called Raxruha in Alta Verapaz department.
