According to a new report from the AP, “the Biden administration plans the widescale expulsion of Haitian migrants from a small Texas border city by putting them on flights to Haiti starting Sunday, an official said Friday, representing a swift and dramatic response to thousands who suddenly crossed the border from Mexico and gathered under and around a bridge.”
The report adds that “details are yet to be finalized but will likely involve five to eight flights a day, according to the official with direct knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. San Antonio, the nearest major city, may be among the departure cities.”
This morning, Bill Melgulin of Fox LA shared more stunning footage of the escalating border crisis in Del Rio.
“BREAKING: I am absolutely stunned by what I’m witnessing right now. We are on a boat in the Rio Grande near the Del Rio international bridge and we are watching as masses of hundreds of migrants walk across the river from Mexico and stream into the US illegally,” he wrote.

Bad weather starting to move in here in Del Rio. Wind blowing dust and trash left by the migrants all over the place. We have to get off the water for the time being. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/UYTuXBdbe6
