EL PASO, TEXAS — Jakelin Caal’s father Saturday denied Trump administration claims that his daughter, who died in Customs and Border Patrol custody, “had not eaten or consumed water for several days,” insisting that she had been eating and drinking water and had shown no signs of ill health prior to being taken into custody by CBP agents.

In a statement provided to the press Saturday, attorneys for Caal’s father, Nery Gilberto Caal, also rejected allegations that he and his daughter had spent days in the desert south of the New Mexico border.

“Jakelin had not been crossing the desert for days. Jakelin’s father took care of Jakelin — made sure she was fed and had sufficient water,” the lawyers said in the statement, adding that the Caals “sought asylum from the Border Patrol as soon as they crossed the border.”

The attorneys also warned federal officials not to engage in “further speculation about her cause of death … [arguing] premature and inaccurate statements undermine the integrity of the investigation.”
