Border patrol overwhelmed' as makeshift camp springs up under international bridge in Del Rio on Mexico border

Thousands of migrants and refugees have gathered under the bridge that connects Del Rio in Texas and Mexico's Ciudad Acuna, creating a makeshift camp with few basic services in intense heat in the latest border emergency facing Joe Biden.

The mayor of Del Rio, Bruno Lozano, said that as of early Thursday evening 10,503 people were camping under the Del Rio International Bridge, up from 8,200 in the morning.
