FALFURRIAS, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued a father and son on the desolate ranchlands of Brooks County.

This morning, Rio Grande Valley Sector agents working on the vast ranchlands of Brooks County apprehended a group of illegal aliens near Highway 281 and FM755. While interviewing the subjects, agents became aware that there was a father and son missing from the group. A Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue K-9 team and a Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine air asset responded to the area at the request of the agents at the scene. After an extensive search, agents located the father and his seven year old son, both Salvadoran nationals. A Border Patrol Emergency Medical Technician medically evaluated and cleared both subjects.

The Rio Grande Valley Sector currently has multiple campaigns focused on rescues and danger awareness, such as “Operation Big Rig” and “No Se Arriesgue” to combat smuggling and ultimately save lives. Call 911 to report suspicious activity; “They’re humans, not cargo!”
