Haitian migrants continued to stream into the US overnight — despite U.S. promises that they will be quickly expelled and flown home — with dramatic images capturing the darkened crossing over the Rio Grande River into Texas.
Many carried children and whatever belongings they could hold as they trekked through the murky water.
One woman wearing a red floral dress and face mask carried her shoes as she waded through the knee-high water. She clutched onto a man carrying a neon bag.

An administration official added that all migrants would also be tested for Covid-19, the Associated Press reported.
