A 6-month-old girl dumped in the Rio Grande River earlier this month was rescued at the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, officials say.
The rescue happened March 16 in Roma, a south Texas town about 105 miles from Monterrey, Mexico.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said the infant’s mother suffered a broken leg when she was assaulted by smugglers in Mexico.
Smugglers then threw the girl out of a raft and into the river, the department said.
The woman paid smugglers $3,500 to cross the border, said Department of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez, KVEO reported. She and her baby were reportedly among 68 adults and 151 children crossing the river.
She has been reunited with her daughter in U.S. Border Patrol custody, Olivarez told the outlet.
The South Texas Special Operations Group, part of the Texas Rangers, helped border patrol with the rescue, officials said.
“This specialized group is a highly trained tactical team whose primary responsibility is to carry out specific missions, usually along the Texas-Mexico border region or wherever needed,” DPS said. “The team is designed to conduct both overt and extended covert operations in remote areas where conventional law enforcement cannot operate.”
Roma is a new epicenter of illegal border crossings, the Associated Press reported last week.
As of Sunday, 17,650 migrant children were in U.S. government custody at the border, according to CNN.
Republican officials, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, have called the situation at the border a “full-blown crisis.” President Joe Biden said in his first press conference last week that “nothing has changed” at the border.
The Washington Post found migration patterns to the southern border routinely increase in the spring when

A few years ago I delved into some of the organizations that “help” illegals get here, mostly funded by Soros and some getting .gov $$. Offices in US and in Mx. I can’t remember the main names right now. Run by commiepukes of course.
Some come indebted. They get lined up to work it off on the US side. Others I’m sure are being financed. It’s a gong show of an invasion. It’s an invasion all the same though
It’s designed to fundamentally transform the US.
DREAM act == Nightmare
It sure is Sir.
Remember those who came before and the sacrifices they made. Time is running low.
They know what’s best for us the little people. Keep us in fear and use us for human Guinea pigs (vaccines) and keep bringing in people to push us out. It seems to be working.
Relatives in America. The Democrat war chest. They smuggle drugs across as payment. Prostitution. Where there’s a will...
Their Covid relief checks.
Biden certainly is enabling these kind of animals.
LOL! Probably!
Re the $3500, you wrote:
So, you live in POVERTY your entire life, but you’ve got THIS kind of cash to escape it?
I wonder if all of the money is paid up front, or if its only partially paid and the rest is a longer term obligation that the smugglers can call on in the US later—say safe house services, transportation, interest, drug hiding, etc.
Good thinking. Kind of like a drug dealer - the FIRST ‘sample’ is FREE! ;)
Commie minions must be paid to run through towns and villages in Central America waving cash and promises of assistance getting here. The people don’t walk 1500 to 2000 miles, some with kids in tow. They obviously have assistance throughout the journey. It would take at least two and a half to three months to walk that distance. Longer for women with small children.
DemocRATS could care less about human life, after all they don’t care about aborting babies at 9 months.
US based NGOs must be involved. If they are, they should be RICO’ed.
I’m going to guess the wire transfer didn’t go thru
the cartel broke the mother’s leg, probably tried to break the other. They grabbed the infant and threw the infant in the river, then threw the mother out of the raft. Watched by BP, who rescued both, to the taunts of the cartel.
Where they are getting the money is one of two ways a) their relatives in the US pay the trafficking fee up front; or b) the cartel accepts monthly payments, at inflated interest. They know all the details of the family the person is coming from and the family the person is going to. They will collect. Throwing the woman and child out of the boat was a warning to the people paying - one of you is next if you don’t pay up.
The MSM is dishonest not calling the cartels out. But then again, they’d have to expose how ruthless hispanic criminals really are.
