Mexican truckers protesting Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s controversial border crackdown ended their blockade of a key international bridge and are switching to other crossing sites.
Commercial traffic has resumed over the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman said on Thursday. The crossing is where truckers upset about massive delays caused by Abbott’s measure began a blockade on Monday.
