Biden Admin Detaining Migrants Outdoors Under Texas Border Bridge Again in Winter Weather

The Biden administration reopened the infamous outdoor detention area that once held 15,000 mostly Haitian migrants for processing and transport.

According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol officials detained more than 100 mostly Central American migrants under the Del Rio International Bridge on Saturday as overnight temperatures fell into the low 50s. The source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas some 1,500 migrants are also being detained in temporary holding cells at several Border Patrol stations within the Del Rio, Sector.

The overcrowding of facilities is once again impeding the Border Patrol in Del Rio from rapidly transporting migrants into detention facilities from border crossing points.

Less than two months into the new fiscal year, Border Patrol agents apprehended or arrested more than 180,000 migrants, according to sources within CBP. One unofficial report, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, showed nearly 160,000 migrants were apprehended in October.

According to the source, a large portion of the detained population at Del Rio Border Patrol stations consists of single adult migrants.

The Border Patrol relies on ICE to find suitable, longer-term detention spaces for the single adult migrants and is also a complicating factor that adds to the overcrowding at temporary processing centers.

In addition to the regular flow of migrants across the border, a large, organized caravan of migrants is slowly moving through Mexico prompting actions by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to block common crossing points in the Del Rio Sector.
