The bodies of at least three migrants — two in the Rio Grande River — were discovered in Texas along the southern border with Mexico, officials said Tuesday.
Across the span of three days, the bodies were found by patrolling units with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the military.
On Thursday, a body was found in the Rio Grande near Havana, officials said in a news release. A Coast Guard unit patrolling the river found another body in the river on Saturday. Both bodies were recovered and transported to the Hidalgo County morgue.
