From Breitbart: As a new surge at the border in the small town of Eagle Pass begins to grow, U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention buses are delivering migrants daily in larger numbers to a non-government shelter. Breitbart Texas drone footage shows one bus delivering nearly 50 migrants to the Mission Border Hope shelter on Friday. The group of migrants consisted of several family units and single adult migrants.
The shelter is currently housed in a new location, a 20,000-square-foot building that received up to 1,000 migrants or more from CBP daily during its peak operation in September and December of 2023. According to a source within CBP who is familiar with the daily migrant releases and operation of the shelter, more than 250,000 migrants have been released to the shelter during its operation.
The United Methodist Church operates the shelter using Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to provide food, shelter, and transportation away from the border for the migrants. According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, more than $13 million of FEMA Shelter and Services program funds have been obligated for use by the Mission Border Hope shelter in Eagle Pass under the Biden-Harris administration.
The report further explains: On Friday, some migrants were being picked up by private vehicles outside the shelter while others were loaded on commercial conveyances for transportation to another shelter located in San Antonio, Texas. The network of federally funded shelters operates to move the migrants to other cities across the United States.
During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, the Biden administration has funneled over $1 BILLION in federal funds to migrant shelters across the U.S. through the FEMA program, Breitbart reports.

News Nation correspondent Ali Bradley shared video footage of another large group of illegal aliens walking into the United States on Friday.
Bradley wrote: “Happening now: A large group of 140 just crossed into the Eagle Pass, Texas area—The second of the day and it’s only 8am. The vast majority of them are from Venezuela, Ecuador and Honduras. 17 unaccompanied minors were traveling with the group.”
“Sources say some illegal immigrants broke off the group and ran—An attempt to capitalize on the big group tying up Border Patrol but Agents just took off after them,” she added.

“It is worth noting that Texas DPS was not on scene so no one in this group was charged for criminal trespass. These individuals will be processed for removal and many will receive a notice to appear,” Bradley explained.
