Over the weekend, RGV agents apprehended 3,904 migrants, Chavez reported. The sector classified an additional 114 migrants as known got-aways. This refers to migrants who are observed crossing the border who cannot be apprehended at the time.

Human smuggling cartels pushed five large migrant groups across the border over the weekend. One of these groups accounted for nearly a quarter of the migrants apprehended.

On September 30, Chave reported the apprehension of approximately 3,000 more migrants, bringing the four-day total to at least 6,900 migrants.

While the world’s attention remains focused on the spike in migrant crossings in Eagle Pass, the media is paying little attention to a very close number of apprehensions in the Rio Grande Valley. In September, Del Rio Sector agents apprehended nearly 48,000 migrants. Rio Grand Valley Sector agents apprehended more than 45,000 migrants in September, according to unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas.

The difference in media focus could be the availability of dramatic photo ops in Eagle Pass where most of the migrants are crossing in a very small area. The highly visible crossings and the detention of migrants in the open air under the international bridge attracted a broad swath of media outlets.

In the Rio Grande Valley Sector, the nearly same number of apprehensions are spread out over multiple cities, including Brownsville, McAllen, Mission, Rio Grande City, Harlingen, Fort Brown, and Roma.

During all of Fiscal Year 23, which ended on September 30, Rio Grande Valley agents apprehended nearly 250,000 migrants.
