NEW YORK POST
A tiny two-year-old migrant girl who was picked up at the US border clutching a piece of paper with a name and phone number scrawled across told cops she was there to find her parents, a tragic video shows.
The child from El Salvador, clad in a bright pink jacket, was among a group of more than 200 illegal migrants — including 60 unaccompanied minors — detained after crossing the border into Maverick County, Texas, on Sunday, authorities said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety released the footage of the little girl admitting to cops that she was traveling alone as she answered a slew of questions.
When the cop asked her where she was going, the child was filmed saying: “With my mom and dad.”
Asked where her parents were, she responded: “United States.”
The toddler could be seen showing off a tiny piece of yellow paper that authorities said had a name and number written on it.
“This is a stark example of the precarious journey these children make from their home country and how criminal organizations traffic these children across the southern border and further into the interior,” Lt. Chris Olivarez said in a post on X.
“Regardless of political views, it is unacceptable for any child to be exposed to dangerous criminal trafficking networks.”
