Migrant Woman Testifies: My Child Died On What Is Mother’s Day In My Country

NPR reports on the heartbreaking testimony before Congress. Yazmin Juárez yesterday testified before a congressional committee about the death of her daughter in 2018, weeks after they were released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.  Juárez said she had fled Guatemala with her daughter, Mariee, because she feared for their lives and hoped for a better future. “Instead, I watched my baby girl die slowly and painfully just a few months before her second birthday.”
