Border patrol agents have rescued three Haitian migrants in what they described as a"harrowing rescue" operation after they found the family stranded in the middle of the Rio Grande, the office said in a statement.
US Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Sector's Eagle Pass Station were conducting routine watches early Saturday morning when they"observed what appeared to be a family unit, crossing the Rio Grande," according to a news release. "As the individuals neared the US riverbank, the ground they were standing on collapsed, and they plunged into deep water. The family began to struggle to stay afloat as the swift current carried them down river," the statement said.
