Two little migrant girls clutching a handwritten note were dumped at the US border by a smuggler over the weekend, according to authorities.
The stranded kids from El Salvador, ages 5 and 9, were located by troopers in Eagle Pass, Texas on Saturday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A heart-rending photo showed the young children — clad in black T-shirts — brandishing a piece of paper with nothing but a phone number and address scrawled across it.
“Troopers recovered two unaccompanied female children left abandoned by a smuggler in Eagle Pass who fled back to Mexico,” Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez said in a post on X alongside the image.
The abandoned girls were later referred to US Border Patrol.
No further details about their plight were released.
The latest saga adds to a growing list incidents where unaccompanied migrant kids have been ditched at the border of late — often with phone numbers or addresses of relatives written on them or stitched on their clothing.
Footage of a 2-year-old migrant girl, also from El Salvador, sparked widespread outrage last month after she told US authorities she had come to the US alone to find her parents.
The harrowing ordeal comes as well over 529,000 migrant kids have entered the US under the Biden administration, according to the latest Customs and Border Protection data.
And a shocking report released in August revealed the administration has lost track of more than 320,000 of the migrant children who have crossed the border without their parents.
