EDINBURG, Texas – Nine undocumented immigrants were rescued in 100-plus degree temperatures over the Fourth of July weekend after they were abandoned by their smugglers, the U.S. Border Patrol said Wednesday.
Kingsville agents received numerous 911 calls about lost immigrants, the release said. Of the six rescued, more than half were transported to the hospital in need of immediate medical attention. All were in distress due to the sweltering heat and told agents that when they could no longer keep up with the smuggler, they were left behind, the release said.
