YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A migrant couple and their baby nearly drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande river into Texas early Monday, The Post has learned.

The mother and baby were rescued shortly before 7 a.m. by the Texas National Guard after being almost “swept away” as they attempted to cross the “swift water” in the hotly disputed border area, a National Guard source said.

The infant was in a critical condition and had to be “stabilized” at the scene in the wake of the near-tragedy, another source added.

A photo obtained by The Post shows the infant wrapped in a silver hypothermia blanket, being rushed by a trooper across Shelby Park to an ambulance to get care.

The conditions of the baby’s parents weren’t immediately known.
