Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents encountered an angry rattlesnake while escorting a group of migrants near the Texas border with Mexico. The snake and the migrant group eventually went their separate ways without further incident.
Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a photo of a rattlesnake poised to strike as a group of agents and migrants make their way through the brush. The photo illustrates just one of the dangers faced by agents, their K-9 partners, and the migrants as they move through this region of the border.
Chief Owens said the agents and the migrants were “a bit ‘ratted'” by the encounter with the poisonous snake. “We are happy to report that everyone, including our little friend the snake, all went safely on about their business,” Owens wrote.
