HOUSTON -- A 19-year-old pregnant woman from Guatemala died this week from injuries suffered when she fell trying to climb the U.S. border wall near El Paso, Texas, U.S. and Guatemalan authorities said Thursday.
Guatemala identified the woman as Mirian Stephany Girón Luna. Medical personnel tried to deliver her baby, but were unsuccessful, both governments said. The U.S. said Girón was eight months pregnant, while Guatemalan authorities said she was at seven months.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection blamed Girón's death on human smugglers who encouraged her to try to climb the wall. In a statement, Gloria Chavez, the chief for the Border Patrol’s El Paso sector, said the authorities would work with Mexico “to find those responsible for placing these lives in danger.”
CBP Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters that Girón and her partner were taken to the border by smugglers and left there in the darkness. They were attempting to climb when she fell. Border Patrol agents reached her and called medical authorities, who took her to the hospital but “tragically, the mother and the child died from their injuries from the fall,” he said.
Girón is from Guatemala’s San Marcos department, near the country’s border with Mexico. CBP says it has no record of her trying to enter the U.S. at an official port of entry or having been placed in the “Remain in Mexico” program, in which tens of thousands of migrants have been forced to pursue their immigration cases from Mexico.
Her partner remains in Border Patrol custody, according to U.S. and Guatemalan officials.

YEP it is a child when it suits their headline, otherwise it is nothing but a blob of cells!!!
Maybe they were trying to get OUT of the US due to media hysteria.
I guess what infuriates me is that the actions of the leftists and Rat party entice so many people to put themselves in harms way, killing some of them in the process, simply so they can gain political points, influence and power. People like that young mother should know better, but the hands of the Left is dripping with blood for their role in encouraging these people. It is clear to me that they do not care a half a rip about these people. It is all about regaining their political power. . . they deserve a firing squad far more than they deserve political power. Beyond sickening.
And that, of course, is America’s fault. We should have installed handrails.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Too bad for the baby its mother was stupid.
Put up a sign: Dangerous (in Spanish)
She died of terminal stupidity.
Sounds like the wall works.
Um, there’s no hospital care. She died in the fall. Well, the sudden stop at the end.
We need men in politics who are unafraid of being men, who will stand up to the feminist carp, and create conditions supportive of masculine men, feminine women, and sovereign families.
This will lead to sound politics, policies, and regulations.
But primarily - relegate identity politics to the trash bin of history, it's destroying society.
That anchor baby was too heavy, apparently.
Let me guess - she was coming here to work, and thereby contribute taxes, social security, etc.?
The costs of these people are burdening US taxpayers to the point where they themselves won’t breed.
While the Church may have had a hand in trafficking her here, don’t let the dying areas in the US off the hook - they want these people to keep the housing and school system full to employ our government worker caste. The fact that it is a pseudo-economy built on wealth transfers from American workers doesn’t deter them at all.
No doubt Mirian Stephany Girón Luna and Baby Jane Luna will still both figure out a way to vote for a straight (D) ticket in 2020... mutiple times...
The byline is Houston but the border is hundreds of miles from Houston
If she was pregnant why does ABC Disney news insist that was a baby??
Hope this news resonates among her countrymen.
Months ago I explained to the conga-line of naysayers the wall is not meant to stop everyone, such as daredevils, professional climbers with gear etc, but meant to stop the millions, pregnant women, kids, and 99 percent of men who previously were willy nillie walking across.
Even someone with half a brain wouldn’t attempt to scale a 18’ to 30’ barrier unless they were bent on suicide.
