CBP will give some of the families apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley area notices to appear in court. Others will be released on their own recognizance, meaning they have a court date but no set bond amount.
More children and families have been apprehended along the Rio Grande Valley than in any other area of the border in recent months, according to CBP data.
