The father of the 7-year-old migrant who died after crossing into the United States signed a government form saying his daughter was healthy, as family members revealed that the duo wouldn’t qualify for asylum.
The girl, identified as Jakelin Maquin, and her father, Nery Caal, 29, were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in the New Mexico desert on Dec. 6, as part of a larger group of 163 migrants.
