RawNews1st – A massive group of about 1,000 migrants tried to cross from Matamoros, Mexico, into Brownsville, Texas, overnight, prompting U.S. border officials to close the Gateway International Bridge for several hours, police told Border Report.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials erected barricades on the popular pedestrian and vehicular port of entry, preventing anyone from crossing from about 11 p.m.
Thursday to 3 a.m. Friday, Brownsville police investigator Martin Sandoval said.
