An 18-month-old girl detained for weeks by US immigration authorities was returned to custody and denied medication after she was hospitalised with a life-threatening respiratory illness, according to a lawsuit filed in a Texas federal court.
The child, identified in the lawsuit as "Amalia," was released by immigration authorities in President Donald Trump's administration after her parents sued on Friday. The parents, who also were detained, were released as well. The suit sought the release of all three of them, Reuters reported.
