El Salvador: Border River and Family Friend

el salvador: Visibly shaken, she did not comment, according to CTV. Officials say she has asked the media to respect her mourning and leave her alone. Tania Vanessa Avalos arrived in El Salvador with a family friend who had gone with them on their ill-fated journey to the United States. Authorities decided for logistical reasons to transport by land the bodies of husband scar Alberto Martinez Ramirez, 25, and Valeria, 23 months, and they were expected to arrive Sunday. Martinez and Valeria were swept away by the border river between Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas, on Sunday, and their bodies were found the next morning. Deputy Foreign Minister Mauricio Cabrera said the tragedy has dismayed the national and global public opinion. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
