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.

Amazing how a pregnant foreign hispanic is so determined to enter such a racist, white-privileged society, to be oppressed, that she tries to scale a 30 foot wall, only to pay with her life.
It must be very lucrative to be oppressed.
“ Her partner remains in Border Patrol custody”
Felony murder.
It sucks. Pitiful suckage for sure. Hate to see such things happen. But: Let that be a lesson to ya, as they say.
Now, where were we? Oh yes...
Mexican citizens have less than zero concern for american citizens well being.
As witnessed by what they do to us citizens in our own country whenthey are illegals, and what they do to us when we are in their country.
Greasing the walls would be massively racist, at least suggestive of it.
Lesson not learned: Don’t climb walls while pregnant.
The wall kills just like guns they will say
I appreciate your post. So many are so callous. I also am for the wall, but I also feel bad for these desperate people.
The woman is guilty of felony child abuse.
Lesson not learned: Don’t climb walls while pregnant.
********
She learned it well enough not to try it again.
Agreed.
Emma’s poem says “give me your wretched refuse” (among other, less pathetic names). Frost’s poem says “good fences make good neighbors.”
Might want to make the wall a few feet higher just to be sure.
Darwinian
People do dumb stuff....
I feel for her and the baby...
I've seen a lot of people do dumb stuff...and cost them their lives...
I've humanity for her...and her baby. But the blame is on her...
Wow. The wall made the Left (Media) recognize a fetus in the womb as...a child!
Who would have thought it.
