An illegal alien facing deportation has been charged after a newborn baby was found alive inside a dumpster in Texas last week, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded on July 21 in Houston, but relevant details about the case have emerged this week.
Everilda Cux-Ajtzalam, 18, gave birth behind a taco truck where she works and then placed her child inside a “tied garbage bag” and tossed him into a dumpster before heading home, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime indicate.
A passerby later heard the child crying and called 911.
The newborn’s miraculous rescue was captured on camera and footage has been circulating on social media.
This newborn baby was found in a dumpster in Houston, Texas.
“The child appeared to be fresh out of the womb, with his hair wet, his skin pruned and his umbilical cord still attached.”
Thankfully, he survived & is expected to be OK.

On July 25, Cux-Ajtzalam was taken into custody.
She reportedly told detectives she “had no choice” in abandoning her baby because “she didn’t want her boyfriend to break up with her.”
Harris County District Court Judge Veronica M. Nelson initially set bond at $90,000, but it was raised to $200,000 on Monday after Cux-Ajtzalam was charged with child abandonment.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed a detainer against Cux-Ajtzalam and later revealed she is in the U.S. illegally.
“On July 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Houston lodged an immigration detainer with the Harris County (Texas) Jail on Everilda Cux Ajtalam, an 18-year-old Guatemalan national who illegally entered the U.S. as an unaccompanied minor, following her arrest for abandoning a child without intent to return,” ICE told the Daily Caller.
A Department of Homeland Security source told the New York Post that Cux-Ajtzalam was initially released to a sponsor in the U.S. and then ordered deported after she skipped an immigration hearing last July.
Her son, who is reportedly named Gabriel, was taken to Texas Children’s Hospital in stable condition and later placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.
An investigation and legal proceedings are ongoing.
