A surveillance video near the California border captured an alarming scene —a human smuggler dropping two children from the top of the border wall near San Diego.
One of the children was only 4 years old.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted footage from the surveillance video.
“A 4-year-old was dropped from the border barrier by an unknown subject in San Diego, Monday. Responding Agents and EMS providing first aid to the child also reported gunshots near their position while tending to the child. Remarkably, the child is ok! Do not trust smugglers!” Ortiz said.
From Breitbart News:
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted a surveillance video showing human smugglers dropping two small children from what appears to be a 30-foot border wall in San Diego. The first child appeared to be unharmed from the fall.
A few seconds later, a small child is dropped from the wall and lands on his back, possibly hitting his head. The first child rushes to the smaller child’s side while an adult lowers themselves from the top.
Chief Ortiz stated that Border Patrol agents and EMS teams provided first aid to the little boy. They reported hearing gunfire near their position as they attempted to treat the child’s injuries.
…
CBP officials reported that the agents heard the gunfire impacting and ricocheting off the secondary border barrier just north of their position. While a CBP Air and Marine Operations helicopter crew provided aircover, a special response team moved in to provide tactical assistance.
Ortiz confirmed that the young child is okay after the fall.
