The missing Texas National Guard member who was found dead after trying to rescue two migrants from drowning received almost no televised media coverage from liberal networks over the weekend.
"It doesn't look good when you make a huge deal out of border agents 'whipping' migrants , but don't make a huge deal out of border agents trying to save migrants," the conservative Media Research Center's Tim Graham told Fox News Digital.the Big Three networks had only done nine combined minutes of coverage on the border in the first three months of 2022.
Multiple sources initially confirmed to Fox News that Evans body was found and recovered in Eagle Pass, Texas Monday morning. In a previous statement to Fox News, the Texas Military Department said Texas Rangers have determined from initial reports that the two migrants Evans tried to rescue"were involved in illicit transnational narcotics trafficking."
Evans' death has brought an outpouring of grief and salutes to his courage from Texas and national officials. "Our National Guard soldiers risk their lives every day to serve and protect others, and we are eternally grateful for the way SPC Evans heroically served his state and country," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement shared to Twitter."I ask that Texans join Cecilia and me in praying for the family and friends of SPC Evans as they grieve this heartbreaking loss.
"We're devastated. I can't even begin to tell you how we feel right now … This is a tragic situation, and it didn't need to happen.
