The US Customs and Border Protection office in San Diego has closed road and pedestrian bridges in both directions at the San Ysidro port of entry.
San Ysidro is one of the largest land border crossings between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico.
The agency said it has also deployed extra personnel to the border crossing.
"Due to the multiple planned demonstrations on both sides of the border, CBP deployed additional personnel to the San Ysidro port of entry on Sunday," the agency said.
"The additional personnel, which included CBP officers, US Border Patrol agents, and Air and Marine agents, were recently deployed to the San Diego area from various areas around the country in preparation for the potential arrival of the caravan in Tijuana."

(12,660 posts)Lots of retirees live south of Tijuana in places like Ensenada and Rosarita Beach. Lots of Americans go down to TJ to shop at the Mexican version of Macy's, or go down there for prescriptions.
This is also about ICE making a statement to the Border Communities. No free borders, no matter if you and your family have lived there for generations.
Goddam Brownshirts.
