A seven-year-old Guatemalan girl named Jackeline Caal died in the custody of US Border Patrol last week after crossing the border with her father. NBC reported that she did not receive emergency medical attention for an hour and a a half after showing symptoms of dehydration and exhaustion.

The death of a child in the custody of US Border Patrol is a grim sign of the times, as Trump threatens to shut down government to pay for his border wall and the rhetoric surrounding migrants becomes more and more poisonous.

Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren, who recently said that the “highlight” of her Thanksgiving was watching Border Patrol tear gas civilians, and also inferred migrants will bring AIDS to the US, waded into the argument in typical Lahren style.

Lahren tweeted, “You snakes are really going to blame border patrol for this? Not her parents who traipsed her across the desert and put her life in danger? PATHETIC attempt to pander to bleeding hearts.”

Rather than mourn the girl who died, Lahren called people mourning the girl’s death “snakes” and “pathetic”.

Naturally, given the obvious fact that someone in custody of the state is America’s responsibility, people have fired back on Twitter:

This is so disgusting on many levels. She's mocking people for having compassion for the death of a child to get the spotlight on her. Think about that. Septic Tank Barbie is not in the Christian tradition of service to others. True wickedness. https://t.co/wIfb3lIefL

I’ll fix this for you. ”I’m devastated that a child died while fleeing her country for a better life. I wish her parents had other options. I send them my prayers & support. No one shld be forced to make the decision they had to make. No one shld lose a child.” #grace #humanity

That's probably how Jesus would react too if he was around, or indeed existed

It's because of pundits lie Tomi Lahren here, why so many Trump supporters get their hate from. She has been feeding them with hate for a long time, even during Obama's Presidency. This is why I call her out quite often, not because she is a woman, because of her hate and lies. https://t.co/zhnaHCB8R2

This is a specious rhetorical trick: blame the migrants for anything that happens to them. Yet if they stay home and live in poverty or are assaulted by criminals, you will blame them for not taking action, like the action taken by most US ancestors: seeking a new land & life. https://t.co/2Y5tDxCN60

This soulless c*nt. You're a pathetic waste of space. #Jakelin died under the watch of cbp/dhs.Her father tried to escape poverty, violence so she could have a chance to live.But American authorities let her die! Why? A threat to other migrants don't come or we'll let you die? ???? https://t.co/DrcY7F6y65
