We promptly \u2063relayed \u2063our\u200c observations \u200cto Border Patrol, who confirmed\u2063 that \u2064the\u2062 Mexican authorities did \u200cnot require\u2063 any additional \u2064assistance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK \u200bHERE \u2063TO GET\u200d THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Following \u200dthis confirmation, the Texas Military Department concluded its rescue \u2064operations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Clearing the Air<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Throughout \u2063this period, our security personnel along the river did not witness any \u2063distressed\u200b migrants, nor did we turn away any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-term-surge-invokes-militaristic-frame-pushes-white-supremacy\/\" title=\"AOC: Term \u2018surge\u2019 invokes militaristic frame, pushes white supremacy\">illegal immigrants attempting<\/a> to enter the U.S.,&#8221; the statement emphasized. \u200b&#8221;Furthermore, we were not \u200cinformed of any bodies in the vicinity of Shelby Park, nor were we made aware of any bodies discovered on the U.S. side of the border \u200cin relation to this incident.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How\u200b did the Texas Military Department\u2063 respond to the allegations of neglect and refusal to assist in the rescue efforts?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u201cTexas Military Department \u200cRefutes Claims of Neglect in Migrant Rescue Efforts\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Texas \u2062Military Department has come forward to strongly refute claims\u2063 made by Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) accusing them of failing to assist in the rescue of migrants who tragically drowned in the Rio Grande River while attempting\u2062 to enter the U.S. illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night witnessed the loss of three lives near Shelby Park \u200bin Eagle \u2063Pass, \u200cas\u2062 brave migrants, including a\u200c female adult and two children, attempted to cross \u2062the treacherous river.<\/p>\n<p>Cuellar alleged that Border Patrol \u2062desperately attempted to seek help from the Texas Military Department, the Texas National Guard, and the DPS Command Post via telephone to relay the urgent information, but\u200b unfortunately their efforts were unsuccessful. In a last-ditch effort, Border Patrol agents \u200dphysically approached the Texas Military\u200c Department and the Texas National Guard at the\u2062 Shelby Park Entrance Gate to convey the critical situation.<\/p>\n<p>Cuellar further claimed that the soldiers from the Texas Military Department callously refused to grant\u2064 access to the distressed migrants, even in the face of an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Texas Military Department\u2063 promptly responded to these accusations by categorically denying any neglect or refusal to assist in the rescue efforts. In a statement issued on Saturday, the Texas Military Department emphasized its commitment to the safety and security of all \u2064individuals in Texas, including migrants attempting to enter the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Texas Military Department, their personnel were not aware of the critical situation \u2063as it \u200bwas described by Rep. Cuellar. \u200bThey maintain that no\u2062 direct communication had been made to them regarding the events unfolding\u200c at the Rio\u2064 Grande River. \u2064It is the responsibility of \u2062Border Patrol to coordinate and relay information to the appropriate authorities, \u200dand the Texas Military \u200cDepartment insists\u2062 that \u2064they were\u200c not alerted to \u200dthe urgency\u2063 of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas\u2063 Military Department acknowledges the difficulties faced by migrants crossing\u2064 the\u2062 treacherous river and \u2064is sympathetic to the tragic loss of life. They assert that if they had been made\u200d aware of the situation, their personnel would have responded promptly and appropriately to provide assistance.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to \u2064note \u2063that various agencies, including the Border Patrol, the Texas National Guard, and the Texas Military Department, play vital\u2063 roles\u2064 in\u200b ensuring the safety of individuals\u2063 attempting to cross \u2063the border. Coordination and effective communication among these agencies are crucial for the success of these \u200crescue efforts.<\/p>\n<p>As this incident unfolds, it is vital to gather all the facts and evidence before drawing\u200b any conclusions. Accusations of neglect and refusal to assist \u200bmust be backed by irrefutable evidence\u2063 in order to protect the integrity and\u200d professionalism of the agencies \u2062involved.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Military Department remains committed \u200cto serving and protecting all\u2064 individuals in Texas, regardless of their immigration status.
