re: 3 migrants drowned after state allegedly blocked Border Patrol from reaching them

Trash feds almost certainly lying.

This is something they would do, lie about everything else

I applaud any man or woman who goes into a river to save someone. That being said, our border patrol agents should not have to put their lives at risk for someone from another country illegally entering our country.

As much as I admire the heroes who save others, I don’t have any problem with border patrol not entering the water.

Don’t break the law and you’d be alive

All the pics we ever seem to see are thousands upon thousands of military aged males but now because of evil Texas blocking the benevolent Biden administration we get a drowned female and 2 kids.

Maybe it happened …but I’m skeptical and definitely skeptical at the convenient timing of this story.

Of course a mother and two children. Such a perfect narrative and headline.

Border patrol does not have boats.
They can get in the river and patrol it.
Blocking land access does not stop border patrol and US Coast Guard from patrolling US waters.

Here is an NPR article from 2022 saying that drownings in the Rio Grande are common. In fact there are “dozens” a month:

The fire department helps recover the bodies of migrants who drowned trying to cross. Mello says the department used to get one or two calls a month. Now it gets dozens. NPR

Newsflash. Crossing the Rio Grande is dangerous.

Tough shot, they could have stayed at home!

FAFO

More false flag shite

For what it's worth, the feds are currently asking the supreme court to intervene. This is gonna be the biggest confrontation between a state and the federal government since... the 1960s?

Feds say Texas is blocking Border Patrol from a section of the border, ask U.S. Supreme Court to intervene

The Texas National Guard and state troopers have blocked U.S. Border Patrol agents from a 2.5-mile stretch of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, preventing federal agents from patrolling that part of the border, according to a court filing by the U.S. Department of Justice, escalating the clash between state and federal authorities on the Texas-Mexico border.

On Wednesday night, troopers and National Guard members began to take “full control” of the 47-acre Shelby Park, erected concertina wire and fencing at the park to close off access to the public, Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said. He added that he was told that the park would be closed indefinitely and the state took the action to prevent immigrants from illegally crossing into Texas.

State officers and National Guard members also have denied Border Patrol agents entry to the park, where agents routinely used a boat ramp to launch their boats to patrol the Rio Grande, the filing says. There is also a staging area at the park that Border Patrol agents use to inspect migrants who have been apprehended in this part of the border, the filing says.

In the filing, the DOJ is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in an ongoing legal battle between the state and the federal government and overrule a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that prevents Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire Texas has strung along the Rio Grande.
