Two pregnant migrant women who were looking to turn themselves in to US immigration authorities last week say Texas National Guard members denied them water when they asked for it
CNN spoke with Maria from El Salvador and Carmen from Honduras on Thursday at a shelter in Eagle Pass, Texas. The women shared only those names for fear of retaliation. Carmen, who indicated she is six months pregnant, said she and her husband first tried to cross the Rio Grande on July 12 but were met by concertina wire and members of the Texas National Guard. “They told us it was a crime to cross into the US and that we should return to Mexico,” Carmen told CNN.
“I didn’t really sleep,” Carmen said, adding she saw snakes on the land. “I was scared.” CNN has sought comment from the Texas National Guard. Texas National Guard members have not been given any orders to deny migrants drinking water or push them back into the river, the Texas Military Department’s public affairs office said earlier this week. In recent years, migrants have resorted to increasingly risky paths to enter the US.
