In a startling revelation, an exclusive video reveals a tumultuous surge of migrants poised three hours away from the U.S. border, awaiting to catch trains in Mexico. The border officials are catapulted into a precarious situation, grappling with an intimidating 15,000 migrant encounters within a week. The explosive situation intensifies as these mass migrations inch closer to the United States, drastically hindering the already strained border security.
Focused at their nexus of operations in Eagle Pass, Texas, the impending arrival of this migrant express hits hard. Border Patrol Agents have been staggering under the swelling numbers, almost a record figure trotting at their doorstep. The area has already seen over 2,000 encounters every single day in the recent past, inching closely to a week's total of approximately 15,000. The last 24 hours have been particularly challenging, with over 11,000 migrant encounters across the entire southwestern border.
The situation grows increasingly complex and grim across the nine sectors lining the southern border. Five out of these nine are grappling with over 1,000 encounters, shaking up the precarious balance. Cartels are making the situation more chaotic, aiming to drive these numbers even higher.
Amidst this turmoil, a live camera captures migrants being processed right under bridge premises. Several hundred have slowly trickled into the process, only to be eventually let go with an NTA (Notice to Appear). The guarantee of release has been a prime driving force for these migrants.
Moreover, the exclusive video shows a loaded migrant train just three hours south of the border. For most of these migrants, a free ride on these freight trains is their only way forward, considering their impoverished financial status. Even as Mexican officials strive to get them off the trains, their efforts are mostly futile. One such instance saw them being ousted in Monclova, further fueling the crisis. These trains of hope and despair for countless migrants refuse to halt, further escalating the border security discourse.
