U.S. Border Patrol agents carried a woman after she was abandoned on a ranch in Falfurrias on Monday.
Border Patrol agents responded to the ranch at about 3 p.m. on Monday after they were told someone was left behind in the brush, according to a news release.
They discovered a Honduran woman had been left behind by an “unscrupulous” human smuggler, Border Patrol said in the news release.
“Agents were immediately dispatched to the area, and after searching throughout the evening and into the morning hours, (they) found the woman next to a fence, dehydrated but conscious,” a spokesperson wrote in the news release.
The woman found just north of the Valley was transported to a hospital in Kingsville after suffering dehydration.
