With more than five weeks still to go before the Biden administration removes the Title 42 health authority over illegal immigrants, new statistics released by border authorities in Texas suggest the long-feared surge of migrants has already begun. According to the Border Patrol, agents in the Rio Grande Valley sector alone have encountered 10 large groups (defined by authorities as numbering 100 people or more) in the past week. That number is a third of all the large groups agents in that single sector have come across since October. One video posted to Instagram by Rio Grande Valley Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings shows a group of 202 illegal immigrants from Central America, South America and the Caribbean being detained near Roma, Texas, at 3 a.m. Thursday. Though the group included family units and unaccompanied minors, just over half its members — 104 in all — were single adults.
