According to the US Chinese Network, the border between the United States and Mexico in Texas reopened on the afternoon of the 25th local time, and trade and travel will resume.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a statement that they were able to reopen operations at the Del Rio port of entry after efforts to "speed up the processing of migrants to manageable levels."

CBP also said that at 4 p.m. local time on the 25th, the Del Rio port of entry will resume passenger operations. Cargo transportation will begin at 8:00 a.m. on the 27th.

Last week, an estimated 15,000 illegal immigrants camped under a bridge in Del Rio, mainly Haitian, closing ports of entry. However, US Homeland Security Secretary Majorcas said on the 24th that the immigrants under the bridge have been deported.

Mayokas said about 2,000 Haitians have boarded repatriation flights and been deported, about 8,000 have voluntarily returned to Mexico and another 5,000 have been detained by cbp.

This week, the Biden administration's treatment of Haitian migrants was met with backlash from Democrats, especially after photos of border operatives riding horses to arrest migrants went viral.

Daniel Furt, who was appointed U.S. envoy to Haiti, resigned this week to protest the U.S. "inhumane treatment of immigrants," the sharpest criticism of the situation in Haiti within the United States.

In his resignation letter, Foote wrote, "Our policy toward Haiti remains seriously flawed, and my proposals have been ignored and dismissed. ”
