Original Message This is so sad -- this woman brought her baby here, seeking a better life for her -- but instead, she is dead.

The detention of immigrants MUST STOP. We must allow them safe passage into the US!

NO MORE dead children!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down in tears Wednesday as an asylum seeker mother gave a harrowing account of her one-year-old daughter's death after being detained in US custody.

Guatemalan Yazmin Juárez told a House panel that she came to the United States seeking safety, but instead watched her infant daughter die slowly and painfully after the baby received shoddy medical care while they were in immigration custody.

As the emotional mother spoke Democrat Ocasio-Cortez wiped away tears and an image of her brown-eyed baby girl, Mariee, was put up on television screens in the hearing room.

The baby had fallen ill with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea when mother and daughter were detained in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dilley, Texas, last year.

'It's like they tore out a piece of my heart,' Juárez said.

'I wanted to have a better life for her and a better future so that she could keep growing, but now we won't be able to do that and she is gone.'
