　　According to the New York Post report, earlier that day, about 600 immigrants gathered near the border of Texas in the southern United States, hoping to enter the United States and obtain asylum.

　　According to reports, the situation became tense when the Texas National Guard tried to separate the immigrants into smaller groups.

　　The video shows a group of migrants, mostly men, rushing towards the National Guard, some of whom opened an accessible gap in the fence, while five National Guard members raised their guns in an attempt to stop the migrants from advancing. The immigrants who were held at gunpoint raised their hands in surrender, but seconds later they broke through the lines by knocking down National Guard members.

　　"We have women and children and we are hungry," one shouted. "Help, help, help, they are all children."

　　According to reports, there was chaos at the scene, with soldiers shouting at the immigrants, "Go back!"

　　According to Fox News, Judd, chairman of the U.S. National Border Patrol Council, said that all immigrants involved have been arrested and agents are reviewing relevant videos to find out who attacked the soldiers. The migrants will be deported but will retain the ability to apply for asylum.

　　According to reports, this is the latest conflict since the US border crisis.

　　The issue of illegal immigration has long been a pain point for the Texas government. Data from the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee show that fiscal year 2023 was the worst year in history for U.S. border issues. More than 3.2 million illegal immigrants were deported or arrested, and about three-quarters occurred on the southwest border. In December 2023 alone, a record number of more than 300,000 illegal immigrants tried to cross the US-Mexico border.
