Four migrant children and an 11-month-old infant have been abandoned near the U.S.-Mexico border amid the scorching temperatures over the weekend.

Eagle Pass Station Border Patrol received a report that five girls were found near Normandy, Texas, while the temperature was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, ABC News Go reported.

In a press release, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the three migrant children were Honduran nationals aged 2, 3, and 7. The remaining two were identified as Guatemalan nationals aged 5 and 11 months.

Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales shared a photo of the young girls on his Twitter. Gonzales represents the district where Maverick County is located.

Gonzales also shared a video of a farmer who said he spotted the migrant children while driving around on his land in Quemado, Texas, across the Rio Grande.

The farmer said that he does not think the migrant children would be able to make it if he had not found them with a temperature over 100 degrees.

He added that one of the migrant children did not have any clothes on. He also had one of his workers bring food and water for the girls and get them somewhere comfortable, away from the heat. The farmer noted that he alerted the Border Patrol and the Maverick County constable about the kids.

The Border Patrol reported that the children did not need medical attention. The migrant children were taken to Uvalde Station for processing, pending transfer to Health and Human Services custody, CBS News reported.

Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin L. Skero II said this kind of situation happens often. He also recognized law enforcement partners for helping the migrant children.

Migrant Children in Custody

There were 21,713 migrant children in CBP custody as of Monday. It has also doubled in the past two months, according to an Associated Press report.

A U.S. army base in El Paso, Texas had housed more than 4,500 migrant children. Attorneys, advocates, as well as mental health experts, said that some shelters are safe and acknowledge the need of the children. However, they added that some facilities are endangering children's health and safety.

Southern Poverty Law Center attorney Luz Lopez said that the government is back to almost where it started. Lopez cited the government for using taxpayer money to build more holding facilities.

One child psychiatrist, Amy Cohen, said the system has been very dysfunctional, adding that it is getting worse. Cohen is the executive director of the nonprofit Every. Last. One. that works to help migrant families fleeing violence in Central America.

In April, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called for the close of one holding facility in San Antonio due to allegations of sexual assault.

Abbott said the complaints had been reported to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Commission, Texas Tribune reported.

The governor did not name those who reported the said assault. He also did not give further details on the matter. Meanwhile, the HHS did not respond to questions after Abbott's announcement. 

Many Republicans, including Abbott, had slammed the Biden administration for its failure to address the ongoing migrant crisis.

Some Democrats are also questioning Biden about his immigration policies, with the number of migrants illegally crossing the border.
