A Message from the Mayor of Nogales, Arizona

We are pleased to share a statement from Jorge Maldonado, the Mayor of Nogales, Arizona, addressing the current state of affairs at the Nogales ports. Mayor Maldonado stated in an interview with the local newspaper 'El Diario":

 "The ports of Nogales are solid, thanks to the excellent operation of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in coordination with its Mexican counterparts. While there are specific areas for improvement, we hope to continue being the most efficient point of entry and exit between the two countries along the international border."
