Video from The New York Post (Lean Right bias) shows a large crowd of migrants ripping through a border fence and overrunning Texas National Guardsmen on Thursday before being stopped at another wall not far away.

The Details: The surge reportedly came after the National Guard attempted to separate the migrants into smaller groups. At least one person was reportedly arrested for assaulting a soldier, and other charges related to the destruction of property and assault are expected.

Key Quotes: "The TX National Guard & Dept. of Public Safety quickly regained control & are redoubling the razor wire barriers," tweeted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

For Context: The breach came days after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked a new Texas law authorizing state and local police to arrest and deport unauthorized migrants. Migrants arriving at the border are still allowed to turn themselves over to Border Patrol to seek asylum.

How the Media Covered It: Few left-rated sources covered the news; those that did reposted the Post's video, but didn't write about it further. Local sources and right-rated outlets covered the story much more prominently. The Post said the migrants rushed the border fence, "breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process." CBS News (Lean Left bias) noted that the migrants "didn't get far because there was another, bigger border wall just feet away."

Hundreds of migrants overcame Gov. Greg Abbott's barrier along the Rio Grande in El Paso after Texas National Guard soldiers were unable to hold them back.

The migrants breached concertina wire barriers shortly after 8:30 a.m. Thursday, March 21, in hopes of surrendering to U.S. Border Patrol agents for processing. Some the migrants had been camping on the northern bank of the Rio Grande for up to three days.

 

A huge crowd of migrants broke through the first line of defense at the southern border. They broke through razor wire and pushed right past guards, as they entered the U.S. illegally. They didn't get far because there was another, bigger border wall just feet away.

 A group of over 100 migrants attempted to enter the US illegally by rushing a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process.

The Post had earlier witnessed around 600 migrants massed at the international border, as part of a “spring surge” of migrants hoping to gain access to the US.

The Texas National Guard was attempting to organize them into smaller groups, but the situation grew tense after some women and children were separated from adult males by the guardsmen.
