"Lukeville Border Crossing Reopens January 4 Amid GOP Lawmaker Visit"

The Lukeville Port of Entry in Arizona is scheduled to reopen on Thursday at 6 a.m. MST after a month-long closure due to a migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the resumption of normal operations, emphasizing the continuation of border security missions and the adjustment of operational plans to enforce immigration laws. The closure, which began on December 4, has affected cross-border travel and commerce, prompting calls for increased staffing and resources to secure the border. Operations will also resume at the Morely Gate in Nogales and other specified ports of entry.
