WESLACO, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Weslaco station apprehended a group of 59 illegal aliens near Hidalgo, Texas.
Early this morning, agents patrolling along the Rio Grande encountered a large group of illegal aliens consisting of several family units (51 total subjects) and eight unaccompanied children. The group is comprised of men, women and children from the countries of Guatemala and Honduras.
The Border Patrol is processing the subjects accordingly.
