CARTEL CHRONICLES30 Oct 2023
Mexican authorities recovered the bodies of two migrants from the banks of the Rio Grande over the weekend. The drowning marks the 42nd case this year in that particular border city.
The case took place this weekend in the Mexican border city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, — just south of Eagle Pass, Texas. Members of the rescue Group Beta from Mexico’s National Migration Institute responded to a spot along the Rio Grande known as the Devil Road, where a caller had notified them about two bodies floating in the water.
The agents fished the bodies of two men who are believed to have drowned while trying to cross the Rio Grande and enter Texas illegally. The men have not been identified.
According to statistics from Beta Group, there have been 42 drownings in the Piedras Negras areas this year. The rising number of drownings and migrant fatalities comes at a time when the border state of Coahuila continues to be one of the busiest migrant routes into the United States.
