The body of a 10-month-old baby was found along the Rio Grande after Border Patrol agents responded to reports of a capsized raft carrying migrants who were attempting to cross into the U.S., according to CBP officials.
The body of a 10-month-old baby was found along the Rio Grande after Border Patrol agents responded to reports of a capsized raft carrying migrants who were attempting to cross into the U.S., Customs and Border Protection said Thursday.
The man's wife and one child were found when agents searching the area heard their cries for help. One Border Patrol agent jumped into the flowing river and pulled them to safety. The death comes as agents grapple with a massive influx of migrant children and families along the southern border. More than 103,000 people in the month of March were stopped by authorities while trying to cross -- a record number in recent years. So far this year, authorities have picked up more than 22,000 unaccompanied children.
