Border Patrol agents take care of baby while undocumented mother in hospital (Border Patrol)


DEL RIO, Texas — A pregnant and mother and her 18-month-old baby crossed the border illegally Tuesday and were quickly found by Border Patrol Agents.


However, when they found her, she was experiencing abdominal pain and taken to the hospital. Her child could not go with her, so during the time she was in the hospital, agents stepped up.
According to Border Patrol, the agents from the Uvalde station took care of the baby, until she was deemed fit for travel and released.


“I am proud of the agents and staff who continue to show great compassion during this humanitarian crisis on our southern border,” said Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Felix Chavez. “However, our agents are continually pulled from their enforcement duties to watch over people at hospitals, and in this case a child while her mother was receiving care.”
