The news of the drownings comes while the state is in a standoff with the federal government after Texas authorities took control of Shelby Park, a municipal park in Eagle Pass on the Texas-Mexico border, on Wednesday night — against the wishes of the city’s mayor and President Joe Biden’s administration.
A group of six migrants “were in distress” as they attempted to cross the Rio Grande at about 9 p.m. Friday, Cuellar said in a statement on X.
