Authorities searched the Rio Grande for two U.S. Border Patrol agents whose boat capsized in rough water, officials said.
Three agents were on regular patrol near the Los Indios International Bridge when their boat overturned, Assistant Chief Cruz Rodriguez said.
Agents on a nearby boat heard a distress call and were able to rescue one agent within minutes.
Rodriguez said the river was exceptionally high after several days of heavy rain.
