While Abbott Talks of “Murder,” Migrants Die
As Abbott spoke, two groups of immigrants were preparing to cross the Rio Grande from the bank opposite Shelby Park. According to a Department of Justice court filing Jan. 15, Eagle Pass Border Patrol agents received a call from their counterparts on the Mexican side of the river, stating that two men were struggling on the American side of the river near the Shelby Park boat ramp and that three migrants, a woman and her two children, had drowned near the boat ramp an hour earlier. A Border Patrol supervisor went to the gate manned by Texas National Guard officers and was told that he would not be allowed to enter the park, even in an emergency. In a pair of statements on Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. House Rep. Henry Cuellar said the National Guard "physically barred" Border Patrol. Within hours, authorities on the Mexican side of the river found the bodies of three people – a mother and her two children, ages 8 and 10. They rescued the two men who they said had been struggling near the boat ramp.
