The death on December 25 of an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who was in custody, along with his father, of the US immigration police has again called into question the repressive practices implemented by the Donald Trump Administration.

Those policies have been implemented in the last months in the southern border of the USA, in an attempt to stop the so-called Migrants March, made up of people from various Central American countries.

The same day that the news of the child was publicised, in the Mayan community of San Antonio Secortec in Guatemala, the funeral was taking place of little Jakelin Caal, 7 years old, according to the rites of that original indigenous people.

Jakelin too had died of dehydration at the beginning of this same month of December, while in custody of the North American immigration police.

The preliminary investigation into her death has referred to negligence and "non-application" of the established protocols.

The death of the two minors in less than a month has coincided with the announcements of a preliminary agreement between the US and the new Government of Mexico, led by Antonio Manuel López Obrador.

The plan, proposed by Mexico and called the North Triangle Development Plan, foresees an investment of 33,600 million dollars in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and the Chiapas region (south Mexico).

The idea of ​​this plan is part of the proposals of López Obrador on the basis that only a socio-economic development approach can contain the constant migration from this region to the US.
