Images of drowned two-year-old Salvadorian migrant girl and her father, who died trying to cross Rio Grande from Mexico to the US, spark outrage

The bodies of a Salvadorian migrant and his daughter are seen at the Rio Bravo river in Matamoros, in Tamaulipas state, Mexico June 24, 2019.

Twenty-five-year-old Oscar Martinez Ramirez fled El Salvador with his 21-year-old wife and their daughter and decided to make the risky crossing from Mexico to the US on Sunday afternoon, according to a Mexican court report seen by AFP. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a leftist who took office in December vowing to protect migrants' rights, has previously come under fire over an AFP journalist's images last week of heavily-armed National Guardsmen forcibly detaining two women and a girl at the Rio Grande.

International law protects the right of undocumented migrants to cross borders to seek asylum, and Mexico has not typically stopped them from doing so at its northern border.
