updates: Migrants from around the world are using unconventional tactics to enter the country, including crossing via freight trains. Mexican officials are conducting operations on freight trains to remove migrants en route to the U.S. border, but the influx of migrants to Eagle Pass has not slowed down. U.S. Customs and Border Protection temporarily suspended freight railway crossings in Eagle Pass and El Paso to redirect agents to assist in processing migrants. Union Pacific and several railroad associations are urging the immediate reopening of the bridge crossings. The closures have disrupted legal trade, commerce, and retail. The Texas Association of Business criticized the decision on Twitter. The surge in illegal crossings has overwhelmed Border Patrol agents and resources in Eagle Pass. The closure of two rail bridges that move freight between Texas and Mexico by federal authorities on Sunday has sparked criticism from rail company Union Pacific. The international railway crossing bridges in Eagle Pass and El Paso were temporarily shut down after authorities reported a surge in the smuggling of migrants through Mexico by train. Union Pacific wrote on social media that the closure of the two bridges will cause cross-border freight to stack up, impacting agricultural products, food and beverages, automotive, consumer goods, and industrial commodities. The closure of the bridges has been criticized by politicians from both sides of the spectrum, including Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas and Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs. The closure of the bridges represents a challenge for President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election, as voters are critical of his handling of the U.S. economy and migration. Republicans have also been critical of the decision to close the bridges. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has halted Union Pacific, BNSF, and Ferromex rail operations at the U.S/Mexico border crossings at El Paso and Eagle Pass. The closures have caused delayed or canceled shipments, impacting businesses and the North American rail network. El Paso and Eagle Pass accounted for $33.95 billion or 35.8% of all cross-border rail traffic from November 2022 to October 2023. Union Pacific estimates a $200 million hit to the North American economy each day the crossings remain closed. The closure is causing economic harm and disruptions to the supply chain, affecting the agriculture and chemical industries. The rail industry is being punished for a humanitarian crisis it did not create. The closure of the rail crossings is causing backups on the rail system and hurting the U.S. economy. The National Grain and Feed Association and other agricultural groups have requested the immediate opening of the rail crossings. The closure of rail and freight operations at Eagle Pass and El Paso is impacting ACC member companies and could lead to wider backups in the U.S. railroad network. The Intermodal Association of North America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have also called for the reopening of the border crossings. The closure of the crossings is causing a potential food security crisis in Mexico and threatens U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico. The rail industry is urging the Biden Administration to take immediate action and restore the vital trade routes between the U.S. and Mexico. Angie Rodriguez, a business owner in Eagle Pass, Texas, says the closure of some international bridges is hurting the local economy. The U.S. Border Patrol has closed rail bridges in El Paso and Eagle Pass, preventing cargo from coming in or out of those ports of entry. This has resulted in a decline in traffic from Mexico, which makes up about 60% of Rodriguez's business. Some bridges remain closed, causing long wait times for customers and employees. Rodriguez believes that elected leaders have not found a good solution to the immigration issues. On Monday, Border Patrol estimated that over 5,000 migrants crossed the border into Eagle Pass, nearly five times the usual number. Rodriguez hopes for divine intervention to solve the problem for those trying to come to the U.S. More than 40 major United States agricultural groups have requested the reopening of the El Paso and Eagle Pass international rail crossings on the Texas-Mexico border, which were closed due to increased migrant crossings. The closure of the rail crossings is causing negative impacts on the U.S. economy, with an estimated $200 million in economic activity lost daily. The groups emphasize that the closure is hurting the country's economy and leading to potential loss of grain exports and export potential for other agricultural products. The rail crossings are used to export nearly two-thirds of all U.S. agricultural products to Mexico, which was the second-largest export market in 2022 with $28.5 billion in sales. The groups urge U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to allocate Customs and Border Protection staff to the international rail crossings to allow products to resume flowing. The closure of the rail crossings was implemented on December 17 in response to a surge in migrant smuggling via freight trains. Mexican customers are reportedly seeking other countries for their agricultural imports if the United States cannot provide a resilient and reliable supply chain.

updates: The National Grain and Feed Association and 45 other members of the Agricultural Transportation Working Group have requested the immediate reopening of the international rail crossings at El Paso and Eagle Pass in Texas. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., criticized the Biden administration's decision, stating that it will have substantial impacts on Kansas' family farms and ranches. The American Association of Railroads has not received any indication of when freight traffic will be allowed to resume.
