Breitbart reports: Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Modlin tweeted a report revealing that agents had to provide emergency medical care to an infant and a toddler left to die in the Sonoran Desert mountains to die.
“Yesterday smugglers left an infant and a toddler in the Sonoran Desert to die,” Chief Modlin stated. “This is cruelty. And it is gut-wrenching.”
Agents found the children in the Sonoran Desert after smugglers left them behind. Modlin reported the babies were ages four months and 18 months.
When agents arrived, the infant was unresponsive, the sector chief stated. Agents provided emergency medical care and revived the little girl.
“The heartlessness of smugglers cannot be underestimated.,” he stated.
The rescue of the two abandoned babies comes shortly after three children drowned in the Rio Grande in Texas, Breitbart Texas reported. A toddler and a five-year-old drowned on Monday during border crossing incidents in Eagle Pass and El Paso.
