CBS Dallas/Fort Worth September 18, 2021 The Biden administration is nearing a final plan to expel thousands of Haitian migrants who have crossed into the Texas city of Del Rio from Mexico. The action represents a swift response to the crisis, with the local sheriff estimating Friday that the crowd of migrants gathered under and around a bridge in Del Rio had swelled to 13,700 people. The number of flights will depend on operational capacity and Haiti's willingness, but one U.S. official said there could be as many as five to eight a day and they could start Sunday.
