The tactic of crossing large groups strains resources and manpower in one of the nation\u2019s busiest sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a photo of Border Patrol agents near Eagle Pass, Texas, processing a large group of nearly 200 migrants. Border Patrol classifies a \u201clarge group\u201d as 100 or more migrants apprehended in a single event.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Del Rio Sector continues to see record numbers of large groups and illegal entries.<\/p>\n<p>A group of 187 subjects illegally crossed near Eagle Pass.
