'What we're dealing with now is senseless tragedy,' a border patrol chief said.
A raft carrying carrying nine people across the Rio Grande overturned, and one baby is dead, and two children and one adult are missing, according to border patrol.
"What we're dealing with now is senseless tragedy," Del Rio sector CBP chief Raul L. Ortiz said in this NBC report."The men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol have been doing everything in their power to prevent incidents like this. And yet, callous smugglers continue to imperil the lives of migrants for financial gain."
The man detained Wednesday night by CBP said his child and nephew had been swept away by the Grande’s currents, along with another child and an adult. The number of water rescues in the Rio Grande keep growing. Just last year, border patrol responded to 4,300 emergency calls. Last year’s death toll in border crossings—including water crossings—was 283, which is still far short of the 492 who perished in 2005.
