CBP is closing the location to reassign agents and officers to help mitigate the surge of migrants across the Tucson Border Sector. “Every community along our border lives in sync with their counterparts across country lines. Tomorrow’s closure of the Lukeville Port of Entry — a major hub for tourism and everyday travel alike — will hurt every part of life on both sides of the border. From grocery shopping to attending school to visiting a doctor, life as we know it will halt while CBP is forced to pause normal operations and focus entirely on the current migrant surge. “On Friday, I asked the Biden administration to deploy the Arizona National Guard in order to prevent situations just like this. I am urging the administration to fulfill this request immediately before we see any more unintended consequences cripple our communities. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
