    • Abstract:
      The article describes two cases to show how medication confiscation in undocumented immigrant detention facilities in the U.S. has placed migrant children in medically vulnerable conditions. Topics covered include the detrimental consequences of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) policy breaches, the emerging problem for the health care system as illustrated by the cases, and ways on how pediatricians may advocate for children in similar situations.
