Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a single group of more than 600 migrants who crossed the border between ports of entry near Eagle Pass, Texas, early Thursday morning.
Transportation of the migrants to the central processing center took more than five hours.
Eagle Pass Border Patrol agents encountered a large group of migrants crossing the border between ports of entry at about 1 a.m. Thursday morning. By the time the entire group was rounded up for initial screening and health checks, the number rose to more than 600 migrants, according to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Border Patrol agents conduct initial screening and health checks while waiting for bus transportation to take the migrants from the apprehension site to the centralized processing station. Once there, agents conduct additional screening and health checks in addition to criminal background checks. Due to the massive number of migrants crossing daily in the Eagle Pass area of operations, migrants waited up to five hours while temperatures fell to the mid-40s. The forecast for Friday morning calls for freezing temperatures in the low-20s.
