CONTENT WARNING: This story features a graphic image of a burn suffered by a child taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
A shocking photo of a badly burned 15-year-old migrant girl mistreated in detention has raised further concerns over the Trump administration’s decision to employ a senior doctor on a taxpayer-funded salary of $324,000 despite his involvement in a drugs, alcohol, gun, and sex scandal. Dr. Alex Eastman, 51, is a senior DHS medical official and the former acting chief medical officer of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he oversaw medical care for migrants in federal custody. He is paid 30 percent more than DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, 48. The image, obtained exclusively by our sister Substack, PunchUp as part of its rolling investigation into Eastman’s conduct at DHS, shows raw, mottled tissue across the inside of the teenager’s upper thigh. The wounds were so severe that she needed skin grafts at a specialist burns unit.
