The U.S.-Mexico border will reopen to land traffic for non-essential travelers in early November, Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcel Ebrard said Friday, following more than a year of closure due to COVID-19 restrictions.

“Last night, Secretary Mayorkas confirmed to me that normal activities will resume in the first days of November,” Ebrard said in a statement Friday.
