"Texas Border Crisis: Migrant Deaths, Arrests, and Federal Lawsuits"

The Texas Department of Public Safety announced the discovery of a deceased migrant who attempted to cross the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass. The department's Tactical Marine Unit recovered the body, adding to the roughly 2,300 illegal immigrant deaths in the last three years attributed to drownings, heat exhaustion, vehicle accidents, and harsh environmental conditions. Texas DPS spokesperson emphasized the need for a federal response to prevent such tragedies and stated that Texas is using preventive measures to deter illegal border crossings. This comes after recent accusations and investigations regarding the responsibility for the deaths of three migrants in the Rio Grande, with conflicting claims between federal officials, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, and the Texas Military Department.
