A massive group of hundreds of migrants were reportedly met by the National Guard and U.S. Border Patrol agents after arriving at a border gate in Del Rio, Texas, on Monday morning.
According to a report from Fox News, some 300-400 migrants, mostly coming from Haiti, were seen arriving at the gate with the hopes of entering the United States. The migrants were reportedly met by state troopers from Nebraska, Florida, and Texas, along with members of the National Guard and Border Patrol.

It was not immediately clear what would happen to the group on Monday, with reports that border patrol processing centers have already reached capacity in the area and would not be able to process hundreds of new people.
“Troopers tell me Border Patrol is completely overrun and their processing centers are all over capacity & they can’t handle a group this size. Concerns the group may have to wait in the blistering heat,” Fox News’ Bill Melguin tweeted Monday.
This is a developing news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
