They said their 3-year-old daughter allegedly drowned in the bathtub after authorities say they found the child’s remains in a container full of acid.
This is how NBC and most news outlets reported it.
Monica Dominguez, 37, and Gerardo Zavala Loredo, 32, were arrested in relation to the death of their 3-year-old daughter Rebecca Zavala. They both face charges of evidence tampering, endangering a child and abuse of a corpse.
Police responded to the parents’ apartment Thursday afternoon after receiving an anonymous tip. When authorities searched the home, they found a bucket with human remains hidden inside one of the bedroom closets.
Dominguez allegedly told officers Rebecca drowned while she was under no adult supervision. Both parents then attempted to dispose of the 3-year-old’s body by putting it inside a container full of acid, authorities say.
The couple has four other children, all of whom have been turned over to Child Protective Services.

As you can see there's no mention Gerardo Zavala Loredo is here illegally. Bias by omission. Why? If they mentioned he was illegal they would be playing right into Trump's hands.

Mom and Illegal Immigrant Dad Put Toddler’s Remains in Acid, Say Texas Police

Police in Laredo, Texas, arrested the parents of a three-year-old girl and charged them with trying to dispose of the child’s remains in a bucket filled with acid. Immigration officers also placed a detainer on the father who is allegedly in the U.S. illegally.
Laredo Police Department investigators arrested Monica Dominguez and Gerardo Zavala-Loredo, an illegal immigrant, for allegedly placing their three-year-old daughter’s body in a bucket filled with acid after she reportedly drowned. The arrest followed an anonymous tip, KTRK ABC-13 reported.
The parents told the investigators their daughter drowned “without adult supervision,” the news outlet reported. Police found the girl’s body in a bucket hidden in one of the home’s bedroom closets. The couple allegedly said they put the girl in acid to dispose of her remains.
“As you can imagine, it’s very difficult for all of us in law enforcement and for the first responders to be in a situation to come across a scene like we did yesterday,” Laredo and Webb County District Attorney Isidro Alaniz told reporters in a press conference.
The ABC affiliate reported that a court previously placed Dominguez, the child’s mother, on probation on a charge of injury to a child. Officials said this arrest will violate her probation terms.
The district attorney’s office charged both parents with evidence tampering, endangering a child, and abuse of a corpse. Judge Leticia Martinez set bond for the mother at $175,000. Zavala-Loredo received a $125,000 bond. However, an immigration detainer filed by U.S. Immigration and Customs officers will prevent the release of Zavala-Loredo.
Breitbart News reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials for additional information about the father’s immigration history. A response was not immediately available. Officials previously told Breitbart News that the issuance of an immigration detainer is an indicator of an illegal alien status.
Both parents remain in the custody of the Webb County Sheriff’s Office as of now.
The couple has four other children who are now in the custody of Texas CPS.
The investigation into the death of the three-year-old girl remains open.
