Yesterday, a tragic helicopter crash near the Southern border resulted in the deaths of three individuals, including two National Guardsmen and a border patrol agent. The crew was on a patrol mission for migrants when their UH 72 Lakota helicopter crashed in Lagrula, Texas, just before 3 p.m. The sole survivor, a soldier, is currently in critical condition.
President Joe Biden expressed his condolences, acknowledging the dedication and sacrifice of the fallen individuals who bravely served to protect the nation. The crew was engaged in a federal support mission at the border, distinct from Texas' Operation Lone Star.
