El Paso Border Shut after Mob Threatens to Overrun Frontier
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2019 11:31 pmDemonstrators in Mexico spurred US Customs and Border Protection to shut down an El Paso, Texas, border crossing, one of the country’s busiest ports of entry, early Monday, according to agency spokesman Roger Maier.
Border officials shut down the crossing just before 2 a.m. (4 a.m. ET) after “a large and unruly group formed on the Mexican side,” Maier said.
The demonstrators “posed a threat to overrun the facility,” he said, forcing CBP to employ “port hardening measures” and preventing travelers from entering the United States via the Paso del Norte International Bridge.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to file lawsuits against the Administration, seeking to deny Border Patrol officers additional resources to defend the frontier.
