Lukeville Border Crossing to Reopen Amid Migrant Surge

Closure had severely impacted local economies and disrupted daily lives, with no clear explanation for reopening provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The Lukeville border crossing between Mexico and Arizona, which was closed last month due to a surge in migrants, is set to reopen this week.
The closure of the crossing had severely impacted local economies in Arizona and disrupted the lives of thousands of people who used the crossing daily.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not provided a reason for the reopening, nor commented on whether there has been a change in migrant arrivals.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs welcomed the reopening but criticized the federal government's handling of the migrant surge, stating the closure should not have happened in the first place.
Along with the Lukeville crossing, some operations at other border crossings, such as pedestrian traffic at the San Ysidro crossing in San Diego and vehicle crossings at an international bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas, will also resume.
