Four-year-old child dropped into US over 30ft Mexico border wall

CCTV footage appears to show an adult dropping a four-year-old child into the US over the 30ft border wall with Mexico in San Diego.

US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz shared the video, which captures the child being dropped from the top of the barrier by an “unknown subject” on the night of Monday 15 May.

“Responding Agents and EMS providing first aid to the child also reported gunshots near their position while tending to the child,” Mr Ortiz wrote on Twitter.

“Remarkably, the child is ok! Do not trust smugglers!”
