Texas DPS TMU saving lives at the border

Texas DPS Tactical Marine Unit (TMU) in Eagle Pass responded to numerous submersion injuries resulting in life-saving measures. Operators acted swiftly in deploying personal floatation devices, pulling women & children out of the river, & performing resuscitating efforts.

The images & audio capture the volatile conditions involving mass illegal migration between ports of entry by crossing the unpredictable & dangerous Rio Grande.

Tremendous job by our TMU Operators, who exemplify professionalism & courageous efforts by adapting to an ever-changing environment from a law enforcement role to performing rescue operations.
