McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — First responders have recovered the decomposed remains of an undocumented male migrant in a remote part of Hudspeth County in West Texas.
This is the 14th body found in this unpopulated county on the border with Mexico where no more than four bodies are typically found in any given year, officials told Border Report.
The “badly decomposed” corpse was found Thursday after Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement hiked up a “rough terrain mountain to bring him down,” Hudspeth County Emergency Management Coordinator and County Administrator Joanna MacKenzie said.
