The remains of two migrant men were recovered from a swampy area just south of Penitas, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley this week, a law enforcement source tells Fox News.
The Rio Grande Valley sees more than 2,000 apprehensions of migrants a day, making it one of the most popular areas where migrants try to cross into the U.S. illegally. There has been a migrant surge so far in 2021, with 188,829 migrant encounters at the southern border reported in June by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), nearly double the 104,311 number encountered in the same month in 2019. Only 33,049 migrants were encountered in June of last year at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.More Related News
