Two Ecuadorian girls were thrown towards the United States from the top of the border fence with Mexico

The cameraman alerted officers at a checkpoint who proceeded to the isolated town where the incident occurred.

The sisters were transported to a CBP station in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, to be evaluated by medical staff, then They were taken to a hospital which released them after being unharmed and are currently in the custody of this agency..

“I am shocked at the way the traffickers viciously threw innocent minors from a 14 foot barrier last night,” said Gloria I. Chavez, head of the El Paso border section.

Chavez noted that US agents are working with Mexican authorities to identify those responsible.

“Without the surveillance of our agents using mobile technology, these two very young sisters would have been exposed to the harsh desert conditions for hours,” he added.

The United States faces a sharp increase in border arrivals of migrants, mostly Central Americans who say they are fleeing poverty and violence in their country, with a recent average of nearly 500 unaccompanied children crossing each day.

The President’s government Joe biden faces increasing pressure to manage the situation at the border and accommodate unaccompanied minors.

According to official statistics, on Tuesday the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had 12,918 migrant children in its care, while the CBP had 5,285.
