Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents found a migrant family with two infants abandoned by human smugglers along the Rio Grande riverbank. RGV Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez witnessed the rescue.
RGV Sector Chief Chavez witnessed the rescue of the migrant family near the Roma, Texas, historic district.
“Earlier today we were patrolling right near the edge of the river where we encountered families with children,” Chaves reported. She said the families came from Honduras, Guatemala, and China.“My most concern is for the unaccompanied children because they are little,” she continued. “I am concerned because they came [across] on a small raft. It was eight people.”“It’s very easy to fall off that raft,” she explained, “especially for children.
Chavez reported that the Rio Grande Valley Sector agents have had more than 121,000 migrant encounters so far this fiscal year. The new fiscal year began on October 1, 2022. She said 37,000 of those occurred in the Rio Grande City Station area of responsibility. In addition to the migrants apprehended, more than 27,000 more migrants are classified as known got-aways, according to an unofficial Border Patrol report obtained by Breitbart Texas.
