Children dropped into Trump's razor wire at border fence

Barbaric! This is what's happening now that Trump had troops put up barbed concertina at the border. These poor chldren -- demand that this wire be taken down!

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A human smuggler reportedly used two children as decoys by dropping them over the border into concertina wire, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

CBP reports that two Salvadoran girls, ages six and nine, were dropped roughly eight feet from the San Diego border behind concertina wire late Monday night.

“Agents responded and moments later, a group of 10 individuals crossed the border in the area agents vacated,” said Rodney Scott, Chief Patrol Agent for the U.S. Border Patrol.

The two young girls were given medical attention for what CBP called minor injuries.
