San Ysidro Border Thanksgiving Closure


by staff Military Editor Beatriz Benjamin 

Though this planned exercise was announced by CBP, it caused long lines, confusion and stress.  The closure lasted only 10-15 minutes.  But, that was no Thanksgiving gift to travelers trying to get from Tijuana to San Diego.

This was the second time in four days that the border was closed.  This Monday morning, the SY border was closed from approx 03:15 – 06:30 during the busy morning commute.

Friday morning reports at San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings are minimal wait times and short lines for cars and pedestrians.

There also was a coordinated exercise by Mexican military near the migrant caravan camps…
