Modlin reported the group consisted mostly of single adults and family unit migrants. Multiple Border Patrol agents and resources became tied up in order to transport, care for, and process the group of migrants.
Human smugglers utilized these types of groups in order to prevent Border Patrol agents from being able to patrol other areas of the border. Agents repeatedly told Breitbart this tactic enables the smugglers to move drugs or other high-value migrants across the border.
Another example of this took place on Wednesday in the Del Rio Sector where agents apprehended more than 150 migrants who illegally crossed the border near Eagle Pass, Texas. The group appeared to mostly be single adults, according to video tweeted by independent journalist Ali Bradley.

TX: Now in Eagle Pass—110+ migrants are self-surrendering to Border Patrol Agents. My source tells me there are at least 7 agents there— Agents tell me large groups require resources they just don’t have. Up the river is where several drownings have happened. via source
