Heroic US Border Patrol agent rescues migrant child from drowning: video

A heroic Border Patrol agent rescued a child migrant from drowning near the Texas border after the boy entered the US illegally. ​

Agents near Penitas, Texas, on Saturday followed footprints leading ​away from a river deeper into the US and encountered the boy trying to keep his head above water in a pond that he was trying to cross, according to Customs and Border Protection.  The child tried to hold on to some branches but kept going under.
