Mexican whose child died in illegal trek will be sent home (this is sad)

“Juan Cruz-Torralva brought his 12-year-old daughter through the desert along the U.S.-Mexico border because he wanted a better life for her in the United States.

Three days into the journey, a U.S. Border Patrol agent spotted the group of illegal immigrants. As the agent chased them, a Border Patrol truck hit Cruz-Torralva and his daughter, Lourdes, killing her.

Yuma County sheriff’s detectives determined that the death was an accident. But Cruz-Torralva was arrested on charges of endangerment. Deputies argued that by taking the child into the desert, he had placed her in “risk of imminent death.”"
