US-MEXICAN BORDER CROSSINGS CLOSED
= = = = = = = = =
This afternoon (17 February 2009) the US Customs and Border Protection
Offices located at the US-Mexican Border crossings in El Paso, Big Bend and
Edinburgh, Texas have closed due to violence across the border in Mexico.
Protesters clashing with Mexican Police have escalated at the border
crossings which has involved gunfire and explosions.
US Intelligence has reported the protests may have been staged by the drug
trafficking organizations (DTOs) to mask criminal activities along the
US-Mexican border.
Additional information states Mexican border officials have also closed
their side of the border. Personnel are requested to contact their
respective subordinate commands for situational awareness and force
protection measures.
This information has been provided by the Homeland Security Office of
Intelligence and Analysis and the FBI. As additional information becomes
available it will be posted.
