Two Ecuadorian girls who were dropped from a 14-foot-high barrier at the U.S-Mexico border by smugglers near El Paso about a month ago have been reunited with their families.

“The Ecuadorian minors aged three and five, who were abandoned by human traffickers on the border between the United States and Mexico, were finally reunited with their family on April 17,” Ecuador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility wrote in a statement.
