AUSTIN,​ Texas — Tragic Discovery ⁤in the Rio Grande

Two lifeless bodies, believed to be immigrants attempting to cross from⁣ Mexico ⁢to the United States, were found entangled in a series of buoys installed ​by Governor Greg Abbott’s ‍administration in the‌ river.

The Texas Department of ​Public⁤ Safety alerted the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass about the first body ⁤discovered‍ in the southern part of the floating barriers. The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement confirming the incident.

Statement from the ‍Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

“The Texas Department of‍ Public ‍Safety (DPS) notified the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass that a lifeless⁢ body was found caught in the southern part of the buoys installed ​in the Rio Grande River at approximately ⁢2:35 p.m.”

Mexican authorities retrieved the body from the water, but the cause of⁢ death and nationality remain ‌unknown.
