A large group of people attempted to cross the southern border from Mexico into El Paso, Texas on Sunday, blocking a bridge and causing a standoff with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.The large group pushed past Mexican border agents and onto the Paso Del Norte International Bridge. The CBP erected barricades and blocked off all traffic across the bridge to halt the group.
There is no consensus on what caused this specific surge— The El Paso Times reported that the migrants were spurred by “rumors the border would be opened for express asylum.” CNN quoted CBP stating, “CBP is working to maintain the legal and orderly flow of entry to the U.S. while protecting the safety and security of legitimate trade and travel, CBP facilities and the CBP workforce.” CBP reported that the group had dispersed by Sunday evening and the bridge was reopened.
