Most of them are from Haiti, and the U.S. began sending some of them back to their native country on Sunday by plane. Officials say they’ll send thousands more back this week.
Border patrol agents on horses have been rounding up people, as hundreds have been crossing the Rio Grande River for supplies and food. Meanwhile, temperatures in Del Rio today will top 100 degrees.
