Two small children were among those plucked from the water of the river that separates the US and Mexico, after their family unsuccessfully tried to sneak into the US illegally near Eagle Pass, Texas.
The rescue was caught in a heart-pounding video from the body-worn camera of a US Border Patrol agent.
Footage from this month shows several migrants struggling to stay afloat in the raging waters of the Rio Grande after the raft they were trying to use failed them.
A young boy and girl can be seen being pulled out of the water.
Other migrants were also saved, according to the agency that shared the video on social media Thursday.
