More than 3,000 migrants moved from Texas bridge by US authorities

Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security said during another news conference that expulsion flights to Haiti that started on Sunday will continue daily.The Department of Homeland Security announced on Saturday that it was accelerating expulsions to Haiti, sending more Customs and Border Protection agents to the area and taking other steps to address the situation in Del Rio, where conditions under the bridge have grown increasingly squalid.

Around midday, mounted officers, some wearing vests emblazoned with the words "police US border patrol", galloped to block the path of migrants scrambled up the US bank carrying plastic bags and cardboard boxes of food. Authorities are scrambling to alleviate a burgeoning crisis for President Joe Biden's administration.Mr Cartwright, of Witness at the Border, raised concerns about returning the migrants to Haiti.

"And the fact that we're sending people back, particularly if they haven't been tested and haven't tested negative, would be a serious concern."Mr Mayorkas told reporters the Haitian government has "communicated quite clearly to us its ability to receive the flights" and said the US government is providing funding to Haiti to help. He did not specify the amount.
