In this Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017 photo, vehicles are parked outside Driscoll Children's Hospital, in Corpus Christi, Texas. United States Customs and Border Protection agents on Wednesday placed an undocumented 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy in the back of an ambulance to transfer her from the hospital to a children's facility in San Antonio for emergency gallbladder surgery. Immigration advocates are protesting the case and say Border Patrol should show more discretion in the cases of sick children who are in the U.S. illegally but need medical treatment.
