Today on the Rio Grande

Mexico

I made this from the Mexican side. This fellow crossed with others into the hands of US Border Patrol.

And after a spell, ran fast down a dirt road with Border Patrol in hot pursuit in a vehicle.

Running Man headed back to the river, across the strand of concertina wire, and down a weedy embankment. Border Patrol told him to come back up. Running Man said no. After some orders to come back, and more “no” from Running Man, Border Patrol officer got back in his vehicle and drove back to the other crossers.

Running Man paced back and forth by the riverbank for about 15 minutes on the US side. He was obviously thinking of running for it into America, but he would have to cross a wide open Golf Course at Eagle Pass, and part of the Trump Wall.

He aborted infiltration. Stripped to skivvies and put his dry clothes in this bag, then came back to Mexico. He came to shote, put his clothes on in front of numerous people including me, and then ran away.

And so he had escaped from Mexico to USA, then escaped USA back to Mexico.
