Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents stood on a pedestrian bridge linking Mexico and the United States over the weekend and temporarily prevented asylum-seekers from entering the country.
It is the second time in less than six weeks that the United States has halted entry to asylum-seekers at ports of entry. The first was on April 29 at the San Ysidro crossing in San Diego as a caravan of migrants from Central America was attempting to enter, but CBP was over capacity.
