A woman taken into custody by Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents told them she had been separated from her daughter during the crossing.
“The mother stated that she had handed her child to an unknown individual in the group and was last seen in the vicinity of the Morelos Dam near Andrade, CA,” Customs and Border Protection (CBP) explained in a statement.
“Agents immediately responded to the area to search for the missing child and ultimately discovered a child in the Colorado River.”

The child was declared deceased by the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office, which is handling the investigation along with CBP.
A source in Yuma Sector reportedly informed Town Hall reporter Julio Rosas that the victim was a girl.
“The U.S. border is a child endangerment sanctuary zone. If it were the child of a U.S. citizen being killed while they committed a crime there would be criminal endangerment charges. But not along the border,” the source is quoted as saying.
