Texas Governor Greg Abbott was on the border as crews gear up for a large influx of migrants at the state's border with Mexico.
The surge could look differently this time around, potentially complicating the situation for law enforcement.
He believes that means instead of a large influx coming at once, migrants may be trying to cross over in smaller numbers in order to avoid detection. Anticipating a large influx of migrants in the coming weeks, the Texas National Guard and Department of Public Safety troopers recently held what's called a "mass migration exercise."
Those who are apprehended, like migrants found by DPS troopers smuggled inside a van Monday, will be referred to federal processing sites.On Friday, the governor received a border security briefing in Hidalgo County.U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported more than 230,000 illegal crossings in May."We've been working for about a month now to be able to be prepared for these caravans that are coming our way," Gov. Abbott said.
