Stunning new video shows the moment a smuggler dropped a 2-year-old migrant child over the border wall — the child falling into the outstretched arms of his or her awaiting father.
The 48-second clip was tweeted Wednesday by Aaron Heitke, the chief patrol agent of the US Border Patrol San Diego Sector, who said the incident happened Sunday.
“#BorderPatrol agents witnessed a smuggler drop a two-year-old child from atop the 18-foot-high border wall into the arms of the child’s father,” Heitke wrote. “This event could have been catastrophic. Luckily, the child was not injured.”
The disturbing sequence of events comes after two Ecuadorian sisters, ages 3 and 5, were spotted entering the US in the same fashion — with smugglers dropping the girls over a border fence in New Mexico before taking off.
