First Point:
"Felipe Romero, a spokesperson for Brownsville, said Wednesday that the 108 positives [COVID cases from immigrants] represent 6.3% of the number of total migrants who have been rapid-tested at the city’s main bus station, where they are being released by the Border Patrol. Rapid testing of the individuals began there on Jan. 25."

Texas had 6,000 cases on 3.11 alone. Also, due to the lack of quarantine laws and ordinances in the US, Border Patrol didn't have the authority to keep them. They could only advise them to quarantine.
