Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents made a grisly discovery on Sunday, June 23, when they found the bodies of three children and a young woman near the Rio Grande in southern Texas, according to local officials.

In a late tweet on June 23, Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra said they found two infants, one toddler, and a 20-year-old woman by the river in the Las Palomas Wildlife Management Area southeast of Anzalduas Park—a hotspot for illegal immigrant crossings, patrol agents told CBS News.
