A baby was among the four people who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande into the United States over the holiday weekend, law enforcement authorities said.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the department’s tactical marine unit recovered a group of four people from the river on Saturday, including woman and a baby girl who were unresponsive to medical interventions and were pronounced dead at a hospital. The other two people were turned over to the custody of the US Border Patrol.
