The bodies of two migrants, including a 3-year-old boy, were pulled from the Rio Grande this week after they are believed to have drowned while attempting to illegally cross the border, Texas officials said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety’s Tactical Marine Unit discovered a 3-year-old boy dead in the Rio Grande around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday after receiving a report that a child had been swept away while trying to cross the river with his family, DPS said.
