Rep. Raul Ruiz introduced legislation requiring Customs and Border Protection to conduct health screenings with translators under 3 hours for those considered more vulnerable, including children and pregnant women.
A congressman who has worked as an emergency room doctor is pushing border officers to prevent deaths of more migrant children in their custody with some basic health and medical standards ranging from providing adequate drinking water to ensuring access to emergency medical care.
The bill, the Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in Customs and Border Protection Custody Act, also requires CBP migrants at least one gallon of drinking water per day. “These standards are consistent with the humanitarian principles that ensure the basic conditions for a life with dignity,” said Ruiz, who also provided emergency medical care in Mexico, El Salvador and Haiti and helped with disaster planning in Serbia.
