| Texas National Guard soldier Bishop E. Evans drowned in the Rio Grande after diving in to help an illegal migrant smuggling narcotics struggling to cross the river. |
Local law enforcement on Friday said the guard member tried to rescue a woman who was crossing the Rio Grande River near Eagle Pass, Texas, and "never came up." The soldier is identified as 22-year-old Bishop E. Evans from Arlington, Texas. In an updated release on Saturday, the TMD said the soldier "selflessly attempted" to help two migrants who appeared to be drowning as they illegally crossed the river from Mexico to the United States.
According to initial reports from the Texas Rangers, the two migrants are suspected of being "involved in illicit transnational narcotics trafficking" and are currently in the custody of US Customs and Border Patrol. The missing soldier's family was notified about the disappearance on Friday night, according to the release.
CNN reported Friday that the soldier was assigned to Operation Lone Star, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's effort to combat what he has called a crisis at the US-Mexico border. The governor said his office is working "with the Texas National Guard and other law enforcement agencies as they search for the missing soldier in Eagle Pass."
Abbott, who is up for reelection, launched Operation Lone Star last March. The operation -- which leaned on resources from the state's public safety department and Texas National Guard -- has swelled to more than 10,000 service members.
Sad to see that, he made a mistake and now he's dead.
ReplyDeleteLife is so fragile we gots to be more careful
Abbott had a sigh of relief when he found the dead was black...
ReplyDeleteWhy are they using unqualified non swimmers without flotation devices?
Made his legs shake for a moment
DeleteYou FPS for bringing race into this.
ReplyDeleteDon't get all sour cause you know 6:57 is right. Texas isn't exactly a safe haven for African Americans. All for Abbot's Mission for Vote-Pandering to his fellow Caucasian constituents.
DeleteI actually grew up around human smuggling. And I can assure you guys that shit will never end. Regardless of who’s the sitting president or how many barriers society decides to build. Mankind tends to just forge ahead one way or another.
ReplyDeleteDam. Dude was trying to be kind and help. Tragic. Rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the crybabies that said build the wall? They finally realized the wall don't keep them out.
ReplyDelete8:05 tromp and the trumpanzees stole the donations for the wall and the 5 billion they re-appropriated from the Department of Defense, Stephen Bannon only stole the money he collected from his donors to him and his partners.
ReplyDelete9:10 wellll, if the US had not been heating up LatinAmerica since the end of WWII there would not be millions of LatinAmerican Cockroaches trying to escape to the US, financed by republican sponsored coyotes.
ReplyDelete@ Driving I actually saw the laptop video on Hoodsite before they changed over to a lesser explicit website. Hunter was fornicating with prostitutes and doing drugs. Living the dream of a junkie. Nonetheless the video was apparently released by the Chinese government as if mocking the US. They defiantly said in that broadcast who was going to be the next prez regardless of who agreed or not. Straight up gangster shit. The residual of politicians doing corrupt things like always.
ReplyDeleteHe shld of let the smuggler die. What a fucking idiot
ReplyDeleteYour a dork!
DeleteObviously his principles, courage and values are way more higher and honorable then yours. I salute him and may he be recognized for his merit and bravery. May he R.I.P.
Delete3:00 the smugglers were not dying, and apparently did not die or disappear...
DeleteI commend the heroism, but mister national guard didn't have to.
4:54 you're a idiot.
DeleteThey did not die, because he saved thier lives.
11:01 HOW? did he get between the illegal drug trafficking immigrants and the water bullets from the river?
DeleteSTFU and don'ts with your daddy.
You're a clown sir, he saved thier asses.
DeleteDam rip
ReplyDeleteHunter biden has served and chose to so shit, crack and whatever, but was not a government employee, did not insurrect or kissed and made out with Putin or Xi...
ReplyDeleteIn any case, nothing like Mike Pence refusing ro get into the secret service car to get to Congress on jan 6 2021
Driving MSSQL whats funny is your comment. Who said WWII is to blame. He said after WW2 and that it's pretty much the U.S.'s fault that there's an immigration issue, due to the fact of all the bullshit the U.S. was doing in latin america after world war 2. Which is true. The U.S. stays meddling in latin america. They don't want latin america to posper and have shown that time and again with their actions.
ReplyDeleteSince he was a hero, saved a life and died while on the job. His family stands to get $3 million. It pays to work for the Federal government.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle was killed while on the job for Brinks and they got 4 mil
Delete1:00 never mind the naysayers, 12:25 likes to show his ass with his half assed ignorant comments, bottom line, 75 years of meddling in LatinAmerican affairs to help United fruit save 1 USD cent per Kilo of Banans on wages by shifting their "security" to the public trough with CIA, has been a very expensive affair for the US and its taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteAbbott is throwing taxpayers money away mobilizing everyone to the border except the boy scouts trying to act like trump in his phobia to secure the border that's why is was a matter of time before someone got killed thanks to him He needs to go in November retire to Florida go mess and harass mickey mouse and the Cubans.
