The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported Tuesday that a Mexican woman died after falling from a barrier along the border near Clint, Texas in November.
A Border Patrol agent saw the woman atop the barrier nearly 7 miles southwest of the Ysleta Port of Entry on Nov. 18. Two other women were seen north of the barrier exiting a drainage canal.
The agent requested emergency medical services after he saw the three women fall from the barrier.
The El Paso, Texas Fire Department arrived and took two of the women to hospitals for treatment. The third -- identified later as a Mexican citizen -- had suffered "significant head injuries and was unresponsive with no pulse." A medical examiner declared her dead, but the Nov. 20 autopsy details from El Paso County's medical examiner were still pending Tuesday.
Special agents in the Customs and Border Protection's Office of Professional Responsibility interviewed the two survivors, who said their group guide had warned them the Border Patrol was approaching.

"The women stated panic ensued, which caused one woman to attempt to climb back down the barrier with the other two women below her. The women were tied together about one foot apart as they climbed the barrier. When one woman panicked, all three of them fell from the barrier," CBP said in a statement.
Tuesday's report comes as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott feuds with the federal government over migration at the border. The U.S. Supreme Court sided Monday with the Biden administration, allowing the removal of razor wire erected by Abbot along the border to prevent migrants from entering the state.

Another body to add to the pile that are a result of Traitor Joe's border policy.
She and her "buddies" blatantly and without regard broke the law. Unfortunately, she paid the price of intentionally breaking the law.
Now you're gonna hear from all the Biden Crime Family that it was somehow the CBP's fault.
What would've happened if it had been 10,000 bodies instead of just one?
CBP or Texas.
And, you know that each of the "guests" paid at least $10,000 to the coyote - who is long gone.
They get that money back in the form of welfare from Democrat sanctuary shitholes.
