A heart wrenching incident came into report from US-Mexican border that two small girls, aged as three and five years old, were hoisted over and dropped from the top of a 14-foot wall marking the US-Mexican border in the middle of the night before being picked up by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, the agency said Wednesday. CBP said in a statement "On Tuesday evening, a Santa Teresa agent utilizing camera technology observed a smuggler dropping two young children from the top of the approximately 14-foot-high (four-meter-high) border barrier,".

For your information let us share that the children were taken to a CBP station in Santa Teresa, New Mexico to be evaluated by medical personnel, and then were transported to a local hospital as a precaution. CBP said the girls remain in the agency's custody. Chief patrol agent Gloria Chavez said in a statement "I'm appalled by the way these smugglers viciously dropped innocent children from a 14-foot border barrier last night,".

However, here it is to be noted that the United States is facing an increase of migrant arrivals at the country's southern border, mostly Central Americans who say they are fleeing poverty and violence in their own countries. Recently, there has been an average of 500 unaccompanied children crossing each day. President Joe Biden's administration is facing growing pressure to confront the situation and criticisms about how the unaccompanied minors have been cared for while under US government custody.
