Around 11 a.m. near Midway Drive and Loop 375 in El Paso, a large number of workers, according to Customs and Border Protection, broke into Texas National Guard walls.
In a statement, CBP said,” It would n’t be operationally feasible for Border Patrol to apprehend all of the people there before they cross the barbed wire”.
At the opposite border wall, U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended migrants and transported them to the northern processing facility. Children and families were given priority by brokers for processing.
There are implications for crossing the border illegally, according to CBP’s speech, and CBP will continue to enforce immigration laws. If individuals or families re-enter the country without permission, they are subject to removal and a maximum five-year ban on reapplying for registration and possible criminal prosecution.
” As of 3 p. m. local time, all migrants from this group have been moved from the site. More personnel have been dispatched to the field, and things are looking a little under control. The U.S. Border Patrol has increased inspections in the area and continues to monitor the situation.
