This was due, in large part, to a very busy week where multiple large migrant groups crossed at will. During the last week, agents in this sector apprehended 10,343 apprehensions. In addition, another 5,903 migrants got away without being apprehended.

The Del Rio Sector continues to lead the nation in the apprehension of large migrant groups. Border Patrol defines a large group as 100 or more migrants in a single border crossing event. During the past week, these agents encountered 21 large migrant groups.

Included in the apprehensions were two sex offenders within a two-hour period of time on Monday, Breitbart Texas reported.

Del Rio Sector agents also rescued eight migrants from life-threatening situations.

In connection with Texas Department of Public Safety troopers working under Operation Lone Star and local law enforcement partners, 87 human smuggling loads were intercepted. This resulted in the seizure of seven firearms and the apprehension of 503 migrant apprehensions.
