The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said that 42 migrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the weekend are now in custody.

A Homeland Security official confirmed the number media outlets on Nov. 26. The dozens of migrants were apparently part of the caravan that is seeking to come into the United States, and they were detained after crossing the border near San Ysidro, California.
