After speaking with GOP Texas congressman Tony Gonzales, Elon Musk tweeted that he will visit Eagle Pass, Texas, “later this week.”
Gonzales has been warning that the US-Mexico border was going to reach a breaking point since last year, when he saw 100-person pods at processing centers dealing with more than 500 migrants at once.Meanwhile, another 1,000 migrants were waiting outside, Gonzales told CBS at the time. “It’s a very dire situation.”
Eagle Pass and El Paso have become increasingly overwhelmed since the COVID-era Title 42 expired on May 11, 2023. Under the legislation, law enforcement federal officials had apprehended 2.5 million migrants at the border,Texas was one of the states asking the courts to keep the policy in place, though their pleas didn’t prove successful.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott since added multiple layers of enforcement meant to deter migrants from illegally entering the state at non-designated border crossings like riverbeds and remote stretches of scrubland.
