El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended a historic 1,036 in a single group near El Paso on Wednesday morning.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials reported the group included 934 family units.
CBP Deputy Commissioner, Robert E. Perez, said in a written statement, the apprehension demonstrates the severity of the lack of security at the southern border.
It is likely, most of the family units will be released into the US after processing, due to overcrowding.
