Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents rescued 17 migrants after they were abandoned by human smugglers on ranches in Texas. The rescues took place in four separate incidents in two South Texas counties.
Falfurrias Station agents received a 911 call on the afternoon of June 15 from a Salvadoran national who said his brush guide abandoned him. The migrant claimed to be traveling with six other people in Brooks County, Texas. The group became lost while attempting to circumvent the Falfurrias Border Patrol checkpoint after the guide left them behind.
Brooks County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers triangulated the caller’s cell phone and provided Border Patrol agents with an approximate location for the lost migrants, officials reported. Agents began a search and rescue operation and located the group.
