Migrants Breach Border Barriers in Texas in Wild Scene

Hundreds of migrants breached temporary fencing on the northern banks of the Rio Grande in El Paso, overwhelming Texas National Guard soldiers before being apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents. The fencing was part of Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, aimed at preventing migrants from entering the U.S. The incident occurred amidst a surge of about 1,000 migrant encounters per day in the El Paso Sector, prompting the state to install more barriers and instructing law enforcement to arrest migrants for criminal trespass and destruction of property.
