Fox News reporter Bill Melugin posted a video of Border Patrol agents processing up to 1,000 people under a texas bridge.
“This is the largest group of migrants we’ve ever seen held by [the] Border Patrol under [the] Anzalduas Bridge in Mission, TX,” tweeted Melugin. “Looks like it could be up to 1,000 people.”
Melugin said they could only look at the people via a drone.
“There’s a popular Rio Grande crossing area nearby,” added Melugin.
Melugin has tweeted numerous photos and videos from the Anzaldus Bridge. He has not seen many Border Patrol agents or vehicles because the government needs their help to process all of the migrants.
The bridge is somewhat near Hidalgo and McAllen.
