Ten unaccompanied migrant children abandoned near the Texas border in triple-digit temperatures were rescued by state authorities, the Texas Department of Public Safety said Thursday.
The minors from Honduras were found at the edge of the Rio Grande River in Eagle Pass by the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Brush Team.
"With temperatures exceeding 115°, smugglers continue to place children in dangerous conditions," Chris Olivarez, the agency’s spokesperson, said in a statement posted to Twitter along with footage of the children recovering in the shade after their rescue.
"Great work by our Troopers!" he added.
