Drivers crossing into the United States waited for hours to reach the DeConcini Port of Entry over the weekend. And at 1 p.m. on Monday, U.S. Customs and Border Protectionâs Border Wait Times app still showed a 390 minute â or 6.5 hour â wait for passenger vehicles to reach the downtown Nogales port.
The Sonoran newspaper Expreso reported on the long vehicle lines on Sunday and noted that drivers headed north across the border had experienced long waits since the previous Saturday.
