Brownsville is part of the Rio Grande Valley sector, which has been considered dead or slow in illegal crossings over the past several months. It currently averages only between about 200-400 encounters per day across the entire sector, which includes nine separate Border Patrol stations in a handful of different cities and areas, and it is the sector with the most resources.
