A 10-month-old was found dead and three other people are missing after a raft carrying nine people flipped on the Rio Grande, authorities said Thursday, a day after the White House asked Congress for billions more in funding to secure the border.
The missing were described as two boys, ages 6 and 7, and a man.
“What we’re dealing with now is senseless tragedy,” said Raul L. Ortiz, chief patrol agent of the Customs and Border Protection’s Del Rio sector.
“The men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol have been doing everything in their power to prevent incidents like this,” he said. “And yet, callous smugglers continue to imperil the lives of migrants for financial gain.”
