In the midst of the ongoing migrant surge and the chaos it has created, the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, has become the epicenter of a heated debate between states and cities about how to handle the influx of migrants. However, there seems to be some good news as illegal crossings have slowed down significantly at the start of the new year.
Recently, two large groups of migrants, consisting of approximately 200 and 250 individuals respectively, were witnessed crossing the river and surrendering themselves to Border Patrol agents in Eagle Pass. Though this indicates a slight decrease in the number of crossings, the situation still remains challenging for authorities.
