Border Patrol agents found 31 immigrants along the Rio Grande near Hidalgo on Thursday.

In a news release, the agency says the immigrants were made up of families and unaccompanied children from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

All of them were offered medical help and then taken to a processing center.

The Border Patrol says it has several campaigns focusing on making others aware of the dangers of smuggling. “Operation Big Rig” ask residents to call in any human smuggling attempts to 9-1-1.
