U.S. House Rep Henry Cuellar (D-TX) today attempted to blame Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott after 3 migrants drowned trying to illegally cross the Rio Grande into Texas.

Cuellar released a lengthy statement describing the events that occurred at the Texas border and mentioned Abbott as well.

“This is a tragedy, and the State bears responsibility,” Cuellar concluded in the statement.

Cuellar said in the statement that the three migrants who drowned were an adult female and two children.

The statement also said that the migrants were part of a group of six migrants who were attempting to cross the river.

It was previously reported that the Texas National Guard had seized control of Shelby Park in the city of Eagle Pass, Texas.

Shelby Park has been at the center of the migrant crisis that has engulfed the U.S. border and authorities have reportedly set up razor wire and fences to block off the area.

The decision was made as part of Abbott’s emergency declaration, according to Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas.

Salinas said that the park was closed and in response, Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said, “Texas will continue to deploy Texas National Guard soldiers, DPS troopers, and more barriers, utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to President Biden’s ongoing border crisis.”
