"US Implements Vehicle Processing Changes at Texas and Arizona Ports of Entry"

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the temporary suspension and reduction of vehicle processing at select ports of entry in Texas and Arizona due to a surge in migrant encounters along the southern border. The CBP will redirect personnel to assist the Border Patrol in taking migrants into custody. Several sectors along the US-Mexico border have experienced significant increases in migrant encounters, with the Tucson Sector in Arizona reporting the highest weekly total ever. The sector is routinely overwhelmed with illegal crossings, including individuals from various parts of the world.
