“A Salvadoran man with a prior murder conviction has been identified among the massive number of gangs occurring in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas, along with 862 alien criminals,” Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings tweeted March 27.

Hastings wrote that agents recently encountered five large groups of illegal immigrant families, unaccompanied minors and some adults — 539 people in total.

The groups included about 93 unaccompanied children, Hastings said. He added that in the three months of 2021, agents have met more than 18 of these children.

Last week, President Joe Biden said he would not apologize for repealing some of the border policies of his Republican predecessor, President Donald Trump, and dismissed criticism of illegal immigrants coming to the United States because they considered him a "good guy."

He said the United States is in talks with Mexico to bring back more illegal immigrant families.

Biden received bipartisan backlash, with even some Democratic lawmakers calling on the president to reinstate some of Trump's immigration decisions.

“This administration is doing the right thing because the law requires us to process the data of unaccompanied minors,” Rep. Filemon Vela said in a March 24 statement. “However, we are in the midst of a pandemic and our systems are overwhelmed.”

Vela, citing Border Patrol data, said 13 percent of unaccompanied minors encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border are under 12 years old, and the majority are 13 years of age or older.

“One logical approach to this situation would be to return older teenagers to their home country and provide funding for efforts, under United Nations supervision, to properly care for these teenagers upon their return,” Vela said. “Then, when the pandemic is under control, you can turn the program back on so that there is some semblance of control over the process. I think this will help ease the current burden.”

At the same time, the White House faced opposition from the media, who denounced the lack of transparency regarding facilities used to contain children and other illegal migrants.
