Surveillance camera footage released by the US Customs and Border Protection Office of Public Affairs shows traffickers hoisting and dropping two toddlers from the top of a 14-foot wall marking the US-Mexican border in the middle of the night last Tuesday. The two small Ecuadoran girls, three and five years old, were taken to a CBP station in Santa Teresa, New Mexico to be evaluated by medical personnel, and then were transported to a local hospital as a precaution. CBP said the girls remain in the agency's custody.
