Kudos to our Harlingen agents who rendered aid to an unconscious man found near the border. The man was transported to a local hospital for non-life threating injuries.

Harlingen Station Border Patrol agents encountered a migrant male in need of medical assistance near the Rio Grande. Agents trained in emergency medical aid provided IV fluids to stabilize the unconscious migrant until an ambulance could transport him to a nearby hospital where he received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

During the month of October, the first month of the new fiscal year, Border Patrol agents rescued more than 1,300 migrants. During the entire previous year, agents rescued a record-shattering 22,014 migrants. Rescues increased each year from 4,920 in FY19 to 5,071 in FY20 to a record-breaking 12,833 in FY 21.

A few days earlier, agents in Edinburg, Texas, assisted local police who found migrants packed into dangerous conditions on commercial trucks.

Everyday the #RGV region is being exploited by transnational criminal organizations with their #humansmuggling tactics. RGV agents interdicted three smuggling attempts at our #BorderPatrol#immigration checkpoints.
