Hurricane Harvey is expected to hit Texas hard Friday. Thousands are fleeing the Gulf Coast area after hearing reports that it is going to be the worst storm to hit the Lone Star State in two decades.

In years past, Border Patrol has closed checkpoints in light of severe weather. For instance, the agency temporarily suspended enforcement measures ahead of Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Isaac in 2012. That's not the case this year. Texas Border Patrol announced that its checkpoints will remain open.
