The Biden White House has been accused of lying after reports suggested that the Texas Military Department prevented Border Patrol agents from rescuing drowning migrants.
However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott refuted these claims, stating that the Border Patrol had already requested access after the drownings had occurred.
The Texas Military Department also released a statement denying the accusations, highlighting their efforts to ensure the safety of individuals at the border.
“This is a tragedy, and the State [of Texas] bears responsibility,” Rep. Henry Cuellar said.
“When [Border Patrol] requested access to river the drowning had already occurred & [victims were] found in [Mexico]” Gov. Abbott wrote on X.
“At the time that Border Patrol requested access, the drownings had occurred, Mexican authorities were recovering the bodies,” a news release stated.
Turns out @RepCuellar (& some media) were so eager to point finger at Texas for drowning of migrants they forgot to get the facts.
When BP requested access to river the drownings had already occurred & found in MX.
The fact is the deaths are b/c of Biden's Open Border magnet. https://t.co/MAScagsUXl

“TMD remained engaged with lights, night vision goggles, and thermals to ensure that no additional migrants were in the river or in distress.”
This incident has sparked controversy and highlighted the ongoing struggle to address border security.
