SUMMARY: The discovery of two dead bodies in the Rio Grande, including one reportedly a child, has sparked outrage on both sides of the border and escalated tensions over Texas Governor Greg Abbott's attempts to battle illegal immigration. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called the situation inhumane and criticized Abbott's actions at the border. Abbott's spokesperson blamed the drownings on the Biden administration's border policies and dismissed the criticism as misplaced.
