U.S. authorities on the border have temporarily halted Union Pacific train traffic to Mexico via the Eagle Pass gateway in Texas due to the migrant crisis.
In a statement to FOX Business on Thursday the rail operator said it is still preparing for operations to resume.
"While there is not yet an estimated time on when U.S. Customs and Border Protection will reopen the Eagle Pass gateway, we remain in close communication with multiple government agencies and our customers. Thousands of rail cars cross the border at Eagle Pass each day and once the gateway reopens, our goal is to quickly get trains launched and restore cross-border movement.
Migrants carrying food and goods cross the banks of the Rio Grande to be processed by the Border Patrol in the El Paso sector, Texas, after crossing from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on May 8, 2023.
