Hundreds of African migrants have been arrested in Texas after a “dramatic rise” in arrivals at the southern US border, according to patrol agents.
More from 500 people from African countries were detained near the frontier city of Del Rio in the past week, said US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which warned of a “humanitarian crisis”.
Most were families from the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola.
“The
introduction of this new population places additional burdens on
processing stations, to include language and cultural differences,” said
Del Rio sector chief patrol agent Raul Ortiz.
The recent arrivals included a group of 116 migrants detained after arriving at the southern US border late on 30 May.
“This
large group from Africa further demonstrates the complexity and
severity of the border security and humanitarian crisis at our southwest
border,” Mr Ortiz added............https://news.yahoo.com/us-detaining-hundreds-african-migrants-083330327.html
