Update (15:20 ET): The number of migrants under the bridge is now 9,300.
Harrowing new footage shows over 8,000 migrants waiting to be processed under a bridge in a Texas border town.
The number of migrants under the Del Rio bridge doubled in just one day and border patrol officials are saying the situation is “out of control,” according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin.
The majority of the migrants are Haitians and are showing up to the bridge ‘by the minute,’ according to law enforcement on the ground.
Law enforcement source on the ground at the bridge this morning just sent me this video showing the situation there. I’m told a large majority of the migrants are Haitians and more are crossing into the US and arriving at the bridge by the minute. BP w/ limited manpower @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/dHWCrhFikq

Texas Governor Greg Abbott slammed President Biden’s “sheer negligence” over the crisis and has announced he is shutting down six points of entry along the southern border to “stop these caravans from overrunning our state,” according to a statement from his office:
“The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning our state. The border crisis is so dire that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requesting help as their agents are overwhelmed by the chaos. Unlike President Biden, the State of Texas remains committed to securing our border and protecting Americans.”
It is not immediately clear if any COVID protocols are being conducted in the region.
This development comes shortly after the Biden administration held a massive group of illegals under another Texas bridge in similar conditions.
General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been privately working with the Chinese Communist Party and even said he’d warn them if President Trump decided to launch an attack on the country!
