Hundreds of migrants in the vicinity of El Paso, Texas, forcefully cross the concertina wire barriers erected by the Texas National Guard.
Before the breach, the migrants had set up camp south of the border wall, mere inches north of the wire fencing. Despite the Texas National Guard's efforts to push them south of the fence on Wednesday, the migrants executed a coordinated dash for the border wall on Thursday.
On Wednesday night, the Texas National Guard gathered hundreds of asylum-seeking migrants and directed them south of the razor wire, which is still on US soil. By Thursday morning, these migrants coordinated their actions, scaling the wire fence and making a dash for the border wall, likely intending to turn themselves in.
