Mexican Officials Report Discovery of Body Along Rio Grande Barrier Installed by Texas Authorities

Mexican Officials Report Body Found Along Rio Grande Barrier

Mexican officials have reported the discovery of a body along a floating barrier recently installed in the Rio Grande by Texas authorities. The barrier was installed in an effort to deter migrants from crossing into the United States.

The Mexican Foreign Ministry released a statement on Wednesday, saying that authorities were working to recover and identify the body. The body was spotted floating along the barrier, which is the first time the Mexican government has reported a death along the barrier.

The barrier was installed last month across from Eagle Pass, Texas, and is designed to make it more difficult for migrants to climb over or swim under it. The barrier consists of a string of buoys and is intended to be a deterrent for migrants attempting to cross the river.

However, many have warned about the dangers the barrier poses, as it can make it more difficult for migrants to cross the river safely. Human rights groups have criticized the barrier, saying it puts migrants in danger and violates their rights.

The Mexican government has not released any further information about the body that was found, and it is unclear if the death was related to the barrier. The investigation is ongoing.
