Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector are seeing a significant increase in large groups of migrants hitting the border, with more groups in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 already matching the number encountered in the past two years combined.
RGV Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings tweeted that agents apprehended two groups totaling 264 migrants over the weekend in Hidalgo, Texas. The group included 60 unaccompanied children.
"With 3 months remaining in the fiscal year, RGV has already matched the total number of large groups apprehended in the previous two fiscal years combined," Hastings said.
