Customs and Border Protection announced Friday that it has shut down the Del Rio port of entry in response to the enormous migrant surge that has overwhelmed officials in the area. Fox News has learned that border checkpoints in the area have also been closed.
The agency announced in a statement that the Del Rio port of entry will be temporarily closed and traffic re-rerouted to Eagle Pass 57 miles away "to more effectively manage resources and ensure uninterrupted flow of trade and travel."
"This temporary closure and shift is necessary in order for CBP to respond to urgent safety and security needs presented by an influx of migrants into Del Rio and is effective immediately," the statement said. "It will advance and protect national interests and help ensure the safety of the traveling public, commercial traffic, and CBP employees and facilities."
