«Breaking News» Double-amputee is rescued from an island in the middle of the Rio Grande River

A double-amputee was rescued from an island in the middle of the Rio Grande River this week while he trying to make his way into the United States.  

Agents from the Eagle Pass Station marine unit said they saw the vulnerable 37-year-old man by himself in a wheelchair stranded on an island in the center of the river.

The Border Patrol says he was determined to be in the United States illegally and was assisted to the U.S. shore for medical attention and processing.

The rescue comes shortly after two similar incidents involving people with special needs.  

On March 19, a Honduran man, 41 was taken into custody crossing the Rio Grande. 

Border patrol agents say they realized he was unable hear or speak, making communication a challenge.

The day previous a 36-year-old Honduran woman was arrested entering the United States illegally with her step-brother. 

Agents found her to have a mental impairment that caused her to become agitated and inconsolable. 

The woman was calmed by her step-brother, so processing could be completed.

'The current humanitarian crisis on the border is stressing our immigration system,' said Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Felix Chavez. 

'Our stations and processing centers were never designed to handle the current demographics of families and medical cases that we are experiencing.'

The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is part of the Joint Task Force-West South Texas Corridor, which leverages federal, state and local resources to combat transnational criminal organizations.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
