Young girls dropped over border wall near Santa Teresa are reunited with family
SANTA TERESA, New Mexico -- Ecuador's government says two toddlers dropped over a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border near Santa Teresa have been reunited with their families.
Video shot in March by the U.S. Border Patrol showed a smuggler dropping a three and five-year-old girl over the border fence.
According to Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the parents live in New York.
The agency did not say the girls have been reunited with their parents, only that they are with family members.
The reunion took place about 18 days after Border Patrol agents took custody of the children.
The girls spent about five days in the care of U.S. Health and Human Services.
U.S. and Ecuadorian officials previously indicated that the girls are in good health.
