Migrants Robbed at Gunpoint While Illegally Crossing Rio Grande Into Texas
Migrants were held up at gunpoint while they were illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas this week, according to reports.
Border Hawk was interviewing migrants at La Casa del Migrante in Piedras Negras, Mexico, when we learned a large group of U.S.-bound illegals who departed the shelter hours earlier had just been accosted by armed bandits at the border river.
“A big group of approximately 50 migrants went out of this shelter to cross the Rio Grande into Eagle Pass. A group of smugglers appeared at the river and used guns to ask the migrants for money,” Border Hawk reporter EfraĂn González explained.
Migrants who pass through the shelter in Piedras Negras are aware that “predators” are prevalent in the area.
“Around the shelter, there are a lot smugglers in vehicles waiting for the migrants to go out,” González said.
Border Hawk recently became the first American outfit to take cameras inside La Casa del Migrante.
