A border patrol agent apprehends a woman and a man after they were caught illegally crossing into the U.S. border from Mexico near McAllen, Texas, U.S., May 2, 2018. Reuters photographer Adrees Latif: "One could hardly tell there were people lying in the brush even as a U.S. Border Patrol agent stood over these migrants. They were tracked into the brush by their shoe prints. The group of nine had taken cover overnight and were apprehended the following morning for illegally crossing into the U.S. from Mexico."
