2400 Migrants Apprehended in One Day in Rio Grande Valley Border Sector
BOB PRICE8 May 20191
Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 2,400 migrants Saturday. The apprehensions are part of an “unprecedented†number of illegal immigrants crossing the border on a daily basis.
Agents from Brownsville to Roma, Texas, apprehended more than 2,400 migrants on May 4, according to information provided by Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol officials. The majority of those migrants apprehended were Central American family units and unaccompanied minors.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Washington, D.C. told Breitbart News earlier this week that more than 476,000 migrants have been apprehended during the first seven months of the fiscal year which began on October 1, 2018. These numbers indicate that agents apprehended more than 115,000 in April 2019, an increase of 24 percent over last months record-setting numbers. The CBP officials said that about 33,000 of those April apprehensions occurred during the last 10 days.

I think I recall reading in this forum not long ago of a one-day count of around 1,500 or something like that.
2,400?
Can we get 3,000 next month...?
