HIDALGO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — As the new troops get settled in the Rio Grande Valley, deportations into Mexico continue at the International Port of Entry in Hidalgo.
About 50 people were bussed in by U.S. Border Patrol agents and crossed over to Mexican soil.
After a 3-hour journey from the United States Customs and Border Protection sector in Laredo, a young woman and a child were the first to get off this bus.
On foot, in a single file line, made up of children, women, and men made their way into Mexico.
There, U.S. Border Patrol officials turned them over to Mexican authorities.
This happened three times until all migrants were in Mexico.
Border Patrol said the number of illegal crossings has decreased and what happened Monday continues to be part of Title 8 protocol.
There was no mention of it having to do anything with President Trump’s executive orders.
