Hundreds of migrants continue to pour across the border into an already overburdened Texas border sector near Eagle Pass. Only two Border Patrol personnel were on duty at one crossing to process more than 100 people.

When the party crossed, just two Border Patrol personnel were there, according to Bill Melugin. Soldiers from the Texas National Guard deployed as part of Operation Lone Star were ready to help. The gang identified themselves as Colombians, Cubans, and Venezuelans, according to Melugin.

A Fox News reporter shared a video of a mother holding a young child an hour later. Smugglers in Mexico handed her the unnamed toddler and told her to transport her across the border.
This 2 y/o girl was abandoned by smugglers who gave her to a woman in a big group crossing in here in Eagle Pass. She had a paper with her mom’s contact info in Dallas. The property owner called the mom. She was very nonchalant & expects the US gov to get her daughter to her. pic.twitter.com/WKWIFpDHfq

A message sent to her mother in Dallas, Texas, was carried by the two-year-old daughter. The mother, according to Melugin, acted casually and stated that she expects the US authorities to return her daughter to her.
Many groups have been seen crossing the border in the last 24 hours. Melugin posted another video on Wednesday evening showing a group of more than 110 migrants who had entered illegally. He added that another 150 had crossed in the same place earlier in the day.
