Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents saved the life of a migrant who got lost sneaking around an immigration checkpoint in Brooks County, Texas. Sheriff’s office officials report the deaths of more than 55 other migrants in that county located 80 miles north of the Mexican border.
Rio Grande Valley Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Joel Martinez tweeted photos of Falfurrias Station agents rescuing a migrant. The migrant became lost on a ranch surrounding the immigration checkpoint on U.S. Highway 281.
Border Patrol agents, a CBP Air and Marine Operations Blackhawk aircrew, and local EMS teams worked to save the man’s life with IV fluids and other emergency medical action. The ambulance transported the man to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.
Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez told Breitbart Texas his county is experiencing a record pace of migrant deaths this year. His deputies working with Border Patrol agents recovered the bodies or skeletal remains of more than 55 migrants so far this year — 23 in June alone, Breitbart Texas reported.
