One Migrant Dead, Brother Rescued in Remote Texas Border Sector
22 May 2021
Border Patrol agents rescued a migrant and recovered the body of his brother in the remote Big Bend Sector this week. The two men became lost in the vast wilderness area.
Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean McGoffin tweeted an image from a search and rescue helicopter crew who found a lost migrant and his deceased brother earlier this week.
“Crossing the border illegally is very dangerous and in this instance, life threatening,” Chief McGoffin said in a tweet. “Multiple agencies and assets worked together to locate and rescue an undocumented individual and recover his deceased brother. Do not put your life at risk.”
