The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is dominated with large groups of migrants crossing the border. The detention centers in this sector are substantially overcrowded forcing the rapid release of migrants into the communities along the border.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted that for six days in a row, agents in the Del Rio Sector encountered large groups of migrants crossing the border. Border Patrol defines a large group as 100 or more migrants in a single crossing.
These crossings in the Del Rio Sector led to the apprehension of more than 700 migrants during the six-day period.
A few days earlier, Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted that his agents encountered four large groups in as many days.
