Heavily-armed Mexican military and US Customs and Border Protection officers were manning the El Paso border on Sunday evening after 'at least a 1,000' migrants unsuccessfully tried to rush a checkpoint.
Video shared by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin showed the 'bilateral show of force' on the border, which included armed security forces in riot gear, barbed wire, concrete blocks and mesh fence on the Paso Del Norte Bridge.
It was shared hours after different footage showed hordes of migrants charging past a line of Mexican officials at the border between Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.
Photos captured the moment the group reached the center of the bridge, where they were then blocked by CBP officers, tear gas and barricades.
CBP officers said they 'implemented port hardening measures' including the use of the fencing and concrete barricades, temporarily preventing northbound traffic at the bridge.
Officials say the large group approached the international line 'posing a threat to make mass entry.'
Footage showed the group, which consisted of mostly of young men but also included women and young children, charging along the border road.
The clips also shows them pushing past the Mexican side of Paso Del Norte bridge forcing CBP to erect barricades of barbed wire and other physical barriers to prevent any crossings.
According to one reporter on the ground, a portion of the group was able to be pushed by CBP officials while another group decided to gather around smaller bridges including the Stanton Bridge and the Bridge of the Americas, also leading to the use of barricades by CBP officials armed with batons and riot shields.
Others attempted to get across the border into the U.S. by crossing the river.

Amazing effective would be a few mines.

Make their case? πππ What case? They can simply cross up or down river any time they like.
They’re not interested in making their case. They’re interested in gaining entry into the US. That, they’ll most assuredly achieve.
Where is Congress calling out that POS fake prezident about this and making sure this stops?
Guerilla soldiers and human shields.
If they were prosecuted for breaking our laws by illegally entering and then prohibited or put last in line for legal immigration, this wouldn’t happen.
Blow the bridges, lace the entire American side with thousands of claymores and shoot anything that even tries..... THAT solves the border crisis.
Oh, and so does the fence, but THAT is just to Trumpian.....kinda like mean tweets. /s
Hey! Biden is getting ready to show Americans he cares about energy costs and energy independence by “authorizing” oil exploration in Alaska.
Don’t get in his way or distract him by talking about stupid things like border security or anything like that. I am sure once he is done with Alaska, he will put out a statement about securing the border.
Is it from our government? The cartels?
Hmmmm.
I wonder what would happen if they erected some sort of barrier along the border between the two countries?
Biden put out an App. Illegals can schedule their illegal border entry to avoid long lines and the bother of wading the river. They present themselves at the appointed time and conduct their illegal entry then where they are dealt with like someone who swam across. Given papers, a ticket to wherever, money⦠maybe a phone.
Sounds like Iβm being funny, but that is truly what it is,
I've been thinking that for some time too. And place a bunch of signs saying "area may be mined". After one or 2 go off, let the "migrants" wonder if the area really is mined or not. Sort of like whack a mole or playing battleship.
Brandon: note - this is what an invasion of the United States looks like.
Just start shooting all of them crossing the border dead. Stack their bodies like cord wood to build a wall.
Why aren’t the heavily armed Mexicans at their own southern border?
free ammo to anyone wanting target practice at the border !!
Thanks for the help.
