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

And, JoeBama is encouraging this horrid behavior!!!
Sickening.
Horrible
she looks older than 6 months
These assholes threw a 6 month old baby into the river?
Is it really worth it to the Democrat politicians?
Is that third condo in Kauai really worth the death of a 6 month old baby?
@%+(#$74()?,{()^*=$:{]/)$&#%@*$(!’d@$*%8&(;5#)$!?.
Because I’m so mad they’ll give me a timeout for what I really want to write.
They threw a 6 month old baby out of the raft..........
That’s not human behavior.
They need to be treated accordingly.
>>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
Has she registered a complaint with the Better Business Bureau yet?
Given these smugglers a bad Yelp! review?
The media are not reporting the actions of coyotes, human traffickers in all of this.
Do any of you believe that these human caravans just magically form in central America, and march through Mexico? Doesn’t it seem likely that someone somewhere is organizing and directing all of this?
The left are so hypocritical it’s just insane.
Why are US lawmen out in a river rescuing illegal foreigners???
Shouldn’t they be shooting at the smugglers/law breakers?
So many questions . . . no real answers. We are doomed.
“The woman paid smugglers $3,500 to cross the border...”
So, you live in POVERTY your entire life, but you’ve got THIS kind of cash to escape it?
How is this possible? Does anyone know WHERE people are getting this kind of cash to get ‘smuggled’ into America? hundreds of thousands of them?
(I’m glad the baby is OK - I’m not a monster.)
Our border effort still requires one thing: a court that can try coyotes and smugglers on the spot, find them guilty and apply special sentences instantly with no appeals allowed. Those sentences would be almost 100% death by hanging right on the edge of the Rio Grande so the cartel boys can see their amigos swing.
Now Now. “Culturally, there are different norms”
My cultural norm would involve a bounty on these murdering smugglers.
Agreed, and while we’re asking logical questions, how does a presumably poor woman from impoverished Central America come up with 3500 United States dollars to pay for her trip?
Dems just look at it as a “very late term” abortion and are fine with it.
Show this photo to Kamala and Joe.
STAT.
Do we really expect accurate real news from the Leftist activists with pens and mics?
And Biden has the audacity to tell you that the surge of immigrants started under the Trump admin. And the press will report it. And some will believe it.
Should be “Washington comPost found ILLEGAL migration patterns changed because Bitme opened the borders and promised free s***”!
