Immigration

FILE - In this March 29, 2019, file photo, cars and trucks line up to enter the U.S. from Mexico at a border crossing in El Paso, Texas.

Hidalgo County sheriff's Sgt. Frank Medrano said the bodies of a woman in her early 20s, a toddler and two infants were found Sunday, June, 23, 2019, in or near Anzalduas Park, which borders the river in the city of Mission.
