CBP ordered the shutdown of a port of entry and an international railway crossing in Texas in response to the border surge in Eagle Pass..
EAGLE PASS, Texas — Customs and Border Protection ordered the shutdown of one port of entry, the Eagle Pass International Bridge 1, and the second busiest international railway crossing in Texas. The closures were the response from the Biden administration to nearly 9,000 migrant crossings in the small Texas border town in five days. The port of entry closure resulted in a log jam of traffic for commuters on both sides of the border.
Breitbart Texas spoke to several residents who said they are doing everything to avoid the downtown area’s long lines and traffic congestion. One man said he won’t be going home to Mexico and will stay with a friend. As far as international train traffic is concerned, Salinas says the rail port will open on Saturday. Although good news for industries that rely on rail deliveries on both sides of the border, the news is particularly bad for border residents who are likely to see daily migrant crossings in the thousands begin once again.
