HIDALGO, Texas (Border Report) — Under a scorching 102-degree sun on Wednesday, U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended six women and young children in a dusty area near the border wall that is popular for illegal border crossings.
The apprehensions came under the new executive order issued by President Joe Biden on Tuesday, meaning these migrants must tell agents that they have a fear of returning to their home countries, or meet other strenuous circumstances in order to receive a credible fear interview and be considered for U.S. asylum. Otherwise, they face removal, detention or deportation.
New border security rules go into effect ‘immediately’
A Border Patrol agent told Border Report that the women and two young girls and a small infant would be processed at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing facility but would give no further details.
