A few days before the aforementioned incident, another migrant woman had suffered a significant ankle injury after being lowered from the top of a 30-foot border wall in the El Centro Sector.
Smugglers also used a rope to lower the woman’s son from the wall, endangering him as well. The mother’s seriously wounded ankle was treated right away by the agents.
Border Patrol Agents work nonstop to confront traffickers’ total disregard for human life.
