A month has passed since Texas state law enforcement agents played a role in preventing some 15,000 migrants - mostly Haitians - from crossing the United States-Mexico border. It now seems they could possibly be expected to do the same, but will a smaller caravan of migrants predominantly led by Central Americans that is headed toward the southwestern border. As part of Operation Lone Star, the Texas Department of Public Safety has 1,000 state police officers and Texas Rangers assigned to monitor some areas within the 1,241 miles of border land it shares with Mexico. According to BorderReport.com, organizers had initially said that the group, called 'Madre Caravana' or 'Mother Caravana' would be formed by tens of thousands of migrants. However, about 3,000 migrants, including some 250 children, stopped along a highway in Huehuetan, a city in the southern state of Chiapas on Monday, as the weather topped 89 degrees, but really felt like 99 due to the humidity. 'The Texas Department of Public Safety is committed to securing our southern border under the direction of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and has deployed around one-thousand Troopers, Special Agents and Texas Rangers as part of Operation Lone Star (OLS),' a spokesperson told DailyMail.com via a statement Monday. 'While the department does not discuss operational specifics, we continue to monitor the situation as it unfolds in order to make real-time decisions and will adjust operations as necessary.'

CBP stands ready to address any potential increase in migrant encounters as we work to ensure safety and security of our borders, while managing a fair and orderly immigration system.' The caravan initially drew its members by distributing a QR code via text message October 15. The migrants, who seek asylum from the administration of President Joe Biden, started their journey by foot Saturday when they took off from the town of Tapachula across from Guatemala's border. Many clashed with hundreds of law enforcement officers in riot gear who were unsuccessful in attempting to block their path. A Salvadoran migrant interviewed by Fox News defied the United States stance on securing its borders from unlawful migration by telling the network, 'Tell Biden we are coming.' The group's plan is to reach Mexico City and demand that the Institute of National Migration speed up the process in providing the legal document that is necessary for the migrants to move freely in the country.

'We will act with caution, with care for the law and human rights,' Ebrard said. 'But we do want to say that they are deceiving people because it is not true that they are going to let them pass to the United States.'
