In September 2021, Texas troopers ordered Border Patrol agents on horseback to prevent migrants from crossing the river to a camp of over 16,000 mostly Haitian migrants in Del Rio, about an hour north of Eagle Pass.

Images of Border Patrol agents yanking on the reins of overpowering migrants drew worldwide condemnation, including from President Joe Biden.

State buses in Eagle Pass dump off migrants as far as they can go at a border crossing with Piedras Negras, Mexico, throughout the day.

Border Patrol agents declined to comment.

Key FactsGovernor Abbott has directed the Texas National Guard and the Department of Public Safety to arrest migrants at the border.

Summary created with AI assistance

Greg Abbott issued an executive order Thursday directing Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers to apprehend and return undocumented migrants to the southern border.

The two-term Republican governor said he took the measure because of the Biden administration's inability to stop rising illegal Mexican immigration.

However, according to US Customs and Border Protection, federal authorities processed roughly 200,000 migrants for expulsion in the southwestern United States in May.

According to CBP, an additional 90,650 people were turned back for crossing under other aspects of federal law.
