A search continues for a soldier who went missing after jumping into the Rio Grande in Texas to save two migrants, officials say.
The two migrants are in the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, it said.
The military department statement also said that “initial reports from the Texas Rangers have determined that the two migrants were involved in illicit transnational narcotics trafficking.” A request for more details from the Texas Department of Public Safety was not immediately returned Saturday. Abbott announced the launch of Operation Lone Star in March 2021, an initiative that uses Texas National Guard troops as well as state law enforcement officers at the Texas border.
