TAMAULIPAS.- The Rio Bravo-Donna International Bridge was abruptly closed on Sunday, May 12,
after a contingent of migrants tried to break into US territory by force.

This situation caused the closing of passage from the North American side,
only venting the vehicular traffic that was already in line, allowing the passage only by groups of four vehicles.

The incident was recorded at 7:30 p.m. and was also reported via social networks,
generating even slower traffic for those who were already in line to the United States.

Due to the prolonged wait, until resumed after the US agents took measures to repel the undocumented incursion,
motorists had to turn off and descend from their units.

The incident only allowed part of the traffic that was on the bi national structure to be unloaded, while on the Mexican side,
the passage to more units was restricted until the closing of the crossing at 21:45 hours.
