Border Patrol Agent Carries Illegal Immigrant Who Fell from Cliff and Injured Leg

Posted on August 4, 2021

Wednesday morning, Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station agents working in Rio Grande City, Texas, assisted with a 911 call relayed by the Rio Grande City Police Department, according to federal officials.

The distressed subject requested assistance after falling from a cliff and sustaining an injury to his leg.

After a brief search, agents were able to locate the subject, a 21-year-old Honduran national, who appeared to have fallen off a 15-foot cliff.

Due to the migrant being unable to walk on his own, an agent carried him on his back and walked him out of the brush to a road to meet awaiting EMS.
