US Border Patrol has released video showing two children – 3, 5 – being physically dropped into the US by smugglers.
Two little Ecuadorian girls were hoisted over and dropped from the top of a four-metre (14 feet) wall on the US-Mexico border in the middle of the night before being picked up by US officers. The children, ages 3 and 5, were taken to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) station in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on Tuesday night to be evaluated by medical personnel, then were transported to a local hospital as a precaution. The CBP said the girls remain in the agency’s custody. “On Tuesday evening, a Santa Teresa agent utilising camera technology observed a smuggler dropping two young children from the top of the approximately 14-foot-high (four-metre-high) border barrier,” the CBP said in a statement on Wednesday.More Related News
