"Railway Shutdowns at US-Mexico Border Disrupt Economy and Trade"
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will temporarily suspend operations at international railway crossing bridges in El Paso and Eagle Pass, Texas, to redirect personnel to assist the U.S. Border Patrol with taking migrants into custody. This halt will have a significant impact on the Borderland's economy and the rest of the nation, as about 45% of all rail cars coming from Mexico go through El Paso and Eagle Pass. The suspension will disrupt the supply chain and affect local businesses and consumers. The El Paso Chamber of Commerce President urges Congress to find a better solution to secure the borders without disrupting commerce.
