Vehicle processing will be temporarily suspended or reduced at specific ports of entry in Texas and Arizona due to a surge in migrant encounters along the southern border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have announced.
In a Nov. 27 press release, the CBP revealed that from 3 p.m. local time northbound from Mexico to the United States, vehicle processing operations at International Bridge 1 in Eagle Pass, Texas, will be suspended until further notice. Southbound operations from the United States to Mexico will reportedly remain unaffected. International Bridge 1 is a two-lane bridge with pedestrian walkways connecting Eagle Pass to the Piedras Negras downtown marketplace.
