Laredo agents observed a group of migrants attempting to cross the Rio Grande on December 10, Landrum stated. As the agents approached the group, they turned around and began swimming back to the Mexican side of the border river.

One migrant fell behind and struggled to stay afloat. Landrum stated the migrant appeared to be drowning.

A Laredo Sector Marine Unit crew responded to the area and pulled the drowning migrant to safety.

While the Laredo Sector has not experienced the same level of migrant crossings as seen in Del Rio and El Paso, agents continue to make arrests of previously deported criminal aliens and gang members.
