More than 400 people illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas on Dec. 3 and surrendered to U.S. Border Patrol agents in El Paso.
Agent Fidel Baca, a spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), told the El Paso Times that a group of men, women, and children turned themselves in to the Border Patrol along the Rio Grande levee next to the border fence in the Riverside area of the Lower Valley.
