Along the Rio Grande in Texas, a U.S. Border Patrol agent was assaulted by an illegal immigrant he tried to help.
According to a Dec. 19 media release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol agents spotted a man in the middle of the Rio Grande calling for help. One agent responded to the call with a flotation device stored in his vehicle. The Rio Grande serves as the border line between Mexico and Texas.
