More than 1,000 migrants, most of them from Venezuela, surrendered to officials in the El Paso sector earlier this week.Rumors had circulated on social media that the migrants would be allowed entry into the US if they surrendered themselves to immigration authorities. “Many of the migrants claimed that they received information regarding CBP immigration policies via various social media platforms,” the CPB statement said. “Migrants indicated social media posts stated that if they surrendered to agents in El Paso at a certain location, they would be allowed to remain in the United States. That information was not correct.”
“Throughout the night and into the early morning hours, agents continued to encounter groups attempting to make illegal entry into the United States,” the agency said.
