SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — After being closed for nearly three years, the northbound lanes of Ped West resumed operations eight months ago, albeit under limited hours.
The pedestrian crossing has closed once again.
This time, the closure is due to an influx of migrants along the Tijuana-San Diego border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it needs the facility to process the asylum-seekers since other facilities in the area have been operating at maximum capacity.
