Authorities have already seen in the region of 10,000 encounters a day this week, and Mayorkas conceded that he expects the days and weeks ahead to be "very difficult" even with the plan he has touted in place.

"Even after nearly two years of preparation, we expect to see large numbers of encounters at our southern border in the days and weeks after May 11th," he sad. "We are already seeing high numbers of encounters in certain sectors. This places an incredible strain on our personnel, our facilities and our communities with whom we partner closely."
