Heartbreaking words of two-year-old girl who turned up at the border alone clutching just a piece of paper
Video footage has revealed the heartbreaking words of an unaccompanied two-year-old girl who showed up alone at the border with just a piece of paper in hand.
The little two-year-old girl from El Salvador was found alone at the border in Maverick County, Texas, holding a piece of paper with a name and phone number as she told police she was looking for her mother and father.
The toddler, dressed in a bright pink jacket, was part of a staggering group of more than 200 illegal migrants – including 60 unaccompanied minors – who were detained on Sunday.

“With my father and mother,” the girl replied, pointing to a small yellow piece of paper with a name and phone number in her hand.
When asked where her parents were, she said, “United States.”
“This is a clear example of the precarious journey these children make from their home countries and how criminal organizations smuggle these children across the southern border and further inland,” Olivarez said on X.

“Regardless of political views, it is unacceptable for any child to be exposed to dangerous criminal networks.”
“With record numbers of unaccompanied children and hundreds of thousands missing, there is no one to ensure the safety and security of these children except the men and women who are on the front lines every day.”
‘Despite criticism over the years, the reality is that many children are exploited and trafficked, never to be heard from again. DPS rescued more than 900 children from abandonment and human trafficking during #OperationLoneStar.”
This comes as Donald Trump’s new border czar, Tom Homan, said it is guaranteed that the future president will withdraw federal funds from states that do not adhere to his mass deportation plans.
Homan, who served at the highest levels of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Presidents Barack Obama and Trump, was recently tapped by the president-elect to serve as “border czar,” a role tailor-made to enforce the deportation mandate of Trump to implement.
The president-elect repeatedly claimed during his campaign that he would implement the “largest deportation program in American history” on day one.
Homan will be tasked with helping Trump fulfill that promise.

Speaking on Fox News with host Mark Levin on Saturday, the host suggested that the border czar has an important tool at his disposal to force states to comply with mass deportations.
“Like the Confederacy, they want to move forward on their own,” Levin said of states that don’t want to enforce deportations. ‘They want to do their own thing. For me, one of the things you got was a powerful weapon, okay, no federal funds – boom – final thoughts?”
Homan wasted no time in immediately confirming that states and municipalities that do not “cooperate” with federal immigration agents will see their federal funds limited.
“That’s going to happen,” Homan said. “I guarantee President Trump will.”
