EAGLE PASS, Texas — Border Patrol agents and Texas National Guard soldiers ordered a medical airlift on Sunday morning for a migrant child seriously injured in a razor wire barrier along the border. The child was injured as a large migrant group pushed their way through after a standoff with Guardsmen.

As migrants become increasingly aware that opportunities to cross the Rio Grande and gain release into the United States are quickly dissipating due to the recent presidential election, a rush of large migrant groups is being seen along the Texas border. On Sunday, a group of 220 migrants forced their way through the razor wire, resulting in severe injuries to one migrant child that ultimately required a life flight to a major city more than 150 miles away from the border.
