Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials say the biggest concern is the number of special interest foreign nationals embedded within the group.

Several posts about X by Texas DPS spokesperson Lt. Chris Olivares corroborate information provided by sources. His post included a photo of an unusually large group he encountered at Eagle Pass. A portion of the group, primarily single adult immigrants, will be charged with trespassing, according to a post from the Texas Department of Public Safety. The remainder, consisting of family units and unaccompanied migrant children, were turned over to Border Patrol for processing.
Those charged with public trespassing on migrant children will be released by the Border Patrol into the United States to pursue their asylum claims once the Texas prosecution process is complete, the source said.
