4000 Migrants Apprehended or Got Away over Weekend in One Texas Border Sector
|
 [Breitbart] Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 3,500 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas over the weekend. Nearly 1,200 of these crossed in six large groups. More than 500 more are reported as got-aways.
Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a two-part weekend recap video detailing the activities of what is now the nation’s busiest Border Patrol sector.
Owens reported that Del Rio Sector agents took 3,487 migrants into custody over the weekend. This left more than 3,000 in detention by Monday morning. Another 529 are classified as known got-aways by Border Patrol officials.
This is the second weekend in a row where migrant apprehensions in the Del Rio Sector exceeded 3,400. On August 16, Breitbart Texas reported a tweet from Owens showing the arrest of 3,441 migrants.
The chief stated that nearly 1,200 migrants crossed in six large groups over the weekend. The human smuggling tactic of moving large groups across the border ties up Border Patrol resources and can end up with no line operations along the border for significant periods of time.
Also over the weekend, agents rescued 11 migrants from life-threatening situations as they crossed illegally into Texas. Unfortunately, three migrants drowned over the weekend, Owens stated.
On Saturday, Breitbart Texas reported that Eagle Pass-area agents recovered five drowned migrants during a three-day period. Three of those occurred on Thursday and were not included in Owens’s weekend recap. This brings a five-day total of migrant deaths to six.
In July, Del Rio Sector agents led the nation with the apprehension of approximately 50,000 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported.
