The largest group, consisting of 287 people, was apprehended on Saturday. The other groups were made up of 104, 68, and 45 people, respectively.

The increase in illegal border crossings is likely due to a number of factors, including the warm weather, the start of the school year, and the ongoing political instability in Central America.
