CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico, April 4 - Mexican exporters are looking into sending their goods to the United States by air freight to avoid a five-mile-long line of trucks at the border caused by the Trump administration moving federal agents away from customs checks to immigration duties.
At least one autopart plant has already had to close a production line in Ciudad Juarez because of the export delays, despite some traffic shifting to smaller, nearby ports of entry, Aguirre said. He did not say which company had been affected. Sandoval said the Ciudad Juarez alarm manufacturer he works for had cut deliveries by half to four trucks a day because of the border delays.
Washington's decision to move some 750 border agents from commercial to immigration duties to handle a surge in families seeking asylum between border crossings has triggered long delays for cross-border traffic at Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Otay Mesa, some of the busiest ports on the border.
