Border Patrol caught 260 migrants near Eagle Pass, Texas; some from Iran and Egypt may seek asylum.

Border Patrol agents intercepted 260 migrants, including citizens from Iran, Egypt, Angola, and Bolivia, crossing into Texas near Eagle Pass. Due to difficulties in returning them to their home countries, about 15 of these migrants, mostly from Iran and Egypt, will likely be released to pursue asylum claims.
