Footage from the White House Twitter account shows U.S. Customs & Border Protection rescuing 28 migrants as they attempt to cross the Rio Grande River from Mexico into the United States.
The White House Tweeted that "the group, which included 14 children from 8 months to 17 years of age, are victims of human smuggling."
The trek from Mexico to the United States is a dangerous one. The International Organization for Migration said Friday, August 16, that deaths on migratory routes in North and South America had reached a grim milestone of more than 500 this year. Of those, 247 occurred on the U.S.-Mexico border.
