A pregnant woman has been found after crossing the US border by the Rio Grande having given birth in freezing temperatures, officials have said.
On Friday evening, McAllen Border Patrol Station received an alert that a pregnant Honduran woman “in distress” somewhere in the brush near the Rio Grande, and initiated a search, US Customs and Border Patrol (USBP) said in a statement.
“As agents conducted their search, they received additional information that the woman had given birth,” the release said.
Not long after, an agent found the woman and confirmed that she had given birth, despite the conditions feeling below freezing.
“The temperature near the Rio Grande felt even colder than the 30 degree weather experienced throughout the Rio Grande Valley last night,” the release said.
The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were called immediately once Agents wrapped the woman and child in Mylar blankets and placed them in a Border Patrol vehicle until help arrived, the agency said.

Shallow people never take the time to consider how much suffering these people seeking shelter are going through before they ever make such a horrendous attempt which they know kills so very many people who are also desperate, knowing how many hate-fueled people in the US will persecute them once they get here.
May they all find even a little peace, for chrissakes, not including the haters.
