Migrant families in Texas are being transported to other sectors along the southern border by plane and bus due to “capacity limitations,” officials with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told The Epoch Times on May 19.

The transportation of migrants, border patrol officials said, is being done to help mitigate the challenges posed by what they described as an “unprecedented number” of people in CBP custody.
