Texas National Guard soldiers blocked a line of migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern border on Wednesday, one day before the Trump-era Title 42 policy is set to expire.
Video captured by journalist Todd Bensman shows a wall of razor wire ordered by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and state authorities blocking immigrants crossing the Rio Grande River attempting to enter the city of Brownsville, Texas.
“Great work by Texas National Guard and Texas DPS,” Abbott tweeted. “Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork. Texas deployed trained soldiers and troopers to take real action and respond to this crisis.”

The move comes as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News that the agency apprehended more than 10,000 migrants illegally crossing the border on both Monday and Tuesday, which marked the highest single-day totals ever recorded.
Drone footage from Fox News on Tuesday evening showed a massive group of migrants crossing illegally into Brownsville.
CBP sources told the outlet that Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley sector hit 140% capacity in its facilities.
