In Ciudad Juarez, hundreds of migrants have gathered along the banks of the Rio Grande, setting up camp as they await an opportunity to cross into the United States.

Under the cover of night and aiming to evade detection by the Texas National Guard, migrants are employing wire cutters to slice through chain-link fencing and barbed wire. Their ultimate goal is to dash the border wall, surrender to the Border Patrol, and initiate the asylum process.
