RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents assisted local law enforcement after a stash house discovery in Starr County.
On Friday afternoon, the Starr County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance from the Rio Grande City Border Patrol Station after they discovered a stash house operating in a rural neighborhood.
