On the ground in the Rio Grande Valley with the Hidalgo County Constable for @townhallcom. They’re one of the only agencies allowing ride alongs for media.
We have been in the area for 30 minutes and 62 illegal immigrants, many unaccompanied minors, have crossed.

To cap off the night in a different area of the RGV, just ran into a group of 13 illegal immigrants who have turned themselves into Border Patrol.
Was about to call it a night but groups of migrants keep showing up. This is about 73 people, some of them have small children, who came within about 25 minutes of each other.
We’ve now encountered around 200+ individuals in under three hours in the RGV.
In under four hours, I counted around 345 illegal immigrants turning themselves in to a mix of Border Patrol, local police, and Texas Highway Patrol in La Joya --> townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
Earlier in the day, constables with Hidalgo County were writing down initial information from the migrants, such as country of origin (G = Guatemala, H = Honduras, etc.) and age --> townhall.com/tipsheet/julio…
