EAGLE PASS, Texas – Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety recovered the body of an unidentified man in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass.
In a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, Lt. Chris Olivarez, a DPS spokesperson, said on Saturday that a Tactical Marine Unit recovered the body south of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass.
On Jan. 11, the state usurped control of Shelby Park from city officials in Eagle Pass, prompting a rift between the Biden administration over Texas’ immigration practices.
