United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that the border was closed "to ensure public safety in response to large numbers of migrants seeking to enter the U.S. illegally." After being prevented from entering the Port of Entry, some of these migrants attempted to breach legacy fence infrastructure along the border and sought to harm CBP personnel by throwing projectiles at them. DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons. We will also seek to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our nation’s sovereignty."
