More than 8,000 have turned up in the Texas border city of Eagle Pass, where authorities say a 3-year-old boy died this week while crossing the Rio Grande.
Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande river in the U.S. from Mexico are held and bussed from a make-shift processing center, Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Many others are not waiting and crossed through the Rio Grande, including a 3-year-old boy who authorities say drowned. An international bridge remained closed Friday as agents are reassigned to handle the large numbers in Eagle Pass, which for two years has been the epicenter of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s border mission known as Operation Lone Star.
Some migrants who arrive at the border stop only for a quick meal before crossing the Rio Grande. Others, like Flores, wait for an appointment. The unfolding response in Eagle Pass, where the mayor declared an emergency, illustrates how Border Patrol agents have become overwhelmed in recent days by asylum-seekers on parts of the U.S. border with Mexico. In San Diego and El Paso, officials this week also closed border crossings so agents could help with the influx.

Southern Copper sees Peru output hitting 400 000 t this yearSouthern Copper, controlled by Grupo Mexico, expects its production of the red metal in Peru to bounce 17% this year to 400 000 metric tons, a senior executive told Reuters, driving the firm's overall output growth. The mining firm, Peru's third largest copper producer, saw its copper output slide to 342 000 tons last year from just over 398 000 tons the year before as operations at its Cuajone mine were paralyzed by almost two months of community protests. These have cooled this year despite ongoing political tension.
