The two young Ecuadorian girls who were seen in shocking footage being dropped by smugglers over a U.S.-Mexico border fence near El Paso in late March have been reunited with family members.
The children, ages 3 and 5, were"finally reunited with their family on April 17," according to a statement released this week by Ecuador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility.
"The Foreign Ministry ratifies its commitment to continue working -- in coordination with the competent institutions -- for the prevention of risky migration of Ecuadorian citizens, especially children and adolescents," the El Paso Border Patrol Sector Chief Gloria Chavez is giving girls, who were tossed from border wall, a snack inside the El Paso processing center.
"The Foreign Ministry also reports that the Ecuadorian Consulate in Houston had a dialogue with the minors and found that they are in good health and that they contacted their parents, who currently live in New York City," the El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez released video of the startling incident in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, on March 31. The footage shows the children being dropped over a fence in the middle of the night.
"I was really horrified and appalled and worried when I first saw the images come through from my staff," Chavez told"Your World" host Neil Cavuto earlier this month."When I saw that first child dropped to the ground and then not see her move for a few seconds, I honestly thought this child just probably hit her head and is unconscious. And then I see the second child and immediately DHS, obviously, within a few minutes responded to that area to rescue them.
