Border Patrol agents encountered nearly 200 undocumented immigrants comprised of family units and unaccompanied children near Granjeno early Tuesday morning, according to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Agents say just after midnight, the group of 170 individuals sought help so they could turn themselves in.
As agents responded to transport the individuals, other smugglers simultaneously attempted to cross multiple other groups whom actively attempted to evade apprehension, according to the news release.

Border Patrol requested help from the Texas Department of Public Safety to manage the flow.
