The U.S. Border Patrol issued a warning to illegal immigrants who are trying to enter into the United States owing to severe weather conditions.

Because of increasing rainfall, portions of the Rio Grande have become increasingly dangerous and resulted in several deaths in the past week, Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens said in a statement to news outlets Saturday.
