Del Rio Port of Entry closed after ‘massive’ migrant bridge influx

Migrants massed under the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
DEL RIO, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Friday evening that it was temporarily closing the Del Rio Port of Entry and re-routing traffic from Del Rio to Eagle Pass.
It comes as thousands of Haitian migrants have assembled under and around a bridge in the small Texas border town, presenting the Biden administration with a fresh and immediate challenge as it tries to manage large numbers of asylum-seekers who have been reaching U.S. soil.
Images show Haitians crossing the Rio Grande in huge groups and assembling under a bridge in Del Rio, a city of 35,000 people. Estimates are as high as 12,000.
Haitians have been migrating to the U.S. from South America for years, including many who left the Caribbean nation after a devastating earthquake in 2010.
It is unclear how so many Haitians amassed so quickly in Del Rio, but a U.S. official said the government plans to send the “massive” number of migrants from the Texas border to Haiti on flights starting Sunday.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is closing entry points at the Mexican border so the state won’t be overrun as reports show thousands of illegal immigrants amassing under a bridge waiting to be arrested by Border Patrol agents.
The number of migrants waiting under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, doubled overnight to more than 8,200 people, Fox News reported, showing drone footage of the massive gathering.
The report said a law enforcement official said the crowd is mainly made up of Haitians and more are joining the army of migrants every minute.
The new development comes as Fox News reported on Wednesday that for two straight months – July and August – encounters with illegal immigrants surpassed 200,000.
