According to Customs and and Border Protection, the 24-year-old - who has not been named - screamed for help while hanging on before she dropped and hit her head on the concrete on March 21.
The incident took place at the wall about three miles west of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry, one of three ports in the San Diego-Tijuana area, according to a Border Patrol investigation. Migrants falling to their death has turned into an epidemic in the region since Joe Biden took office.
Around 10:27pm on March 21, agents received a call saying a group was moving toward the wall, which is actually a combination of two walls, built with metal posts and an electrical conduit on top.
Border Patrol agents spotted the group between the two walls and noticed the Guatemalan woman on top of the secondary wall, warning her not to climb down as they called for help from the San Diego Fire Department.
