Dozens of soldiers, some equipped with riot shields and gear, hopped off of school buses and marched toward the location where thousands of immigrants have been crossing from Matamoros, Mexico, into the easternmost point of entry along the Texas border.

The show of force from the Texas National Guard comes just one day after Brownsville saw over 10,000 migrant crossings through Tuesday and just one day before the pandemic-era immigration policy Title 42, which allows the swift expulsion of immigrants, is slated to end. "I'm going to leave it to our Department of Justice to speak to the lawfulness, or lack thereof, of those actions," Mayorkas said, adding the Customs and Border Protection officers work closely with Texas DPS"when it is a collaborative effort."
