Protests at the California Mexicali-Calexico commercial crossing have significantly disrupted cross-border freight movement. Shippers are rerouting through alternate ports of entry, though transportation delays and logistics challenges are expected to persist.

• Ongoing demonstrations have slowed freight movement and customs processing at the Calexico port of entry, resulting in substantial transportation delays
• Commercial truck drivers are protesting recent visa revocations, impacting cross-border operations
• Imported produce shipments are being diverted through Tijuana-area ports of entry to maintain movement
• Demonstrations could expand to additional border crossings in the coming days
• Border delays and closures may affect Mexican imports, including asparagus, green onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and chile peppers
• Markon is actively monitoring border conditions and potential impacts to produce availability and transportation networks
