Five Chinese nationals were recently placed under US Border Patrol custody after they illegally crossed into the United States through Mexico.

Fox News Correspondent Bill Melugin broke the news on Twitter and stated five Chinese nationals crossed illegally into Mission, Texas where they would later turn themselves into Border Patrol authorities.

Melugin would write Border Patrol agents in recent months have seen an “uptick” of Chinese nationals crossing into the US through Mexico.
