Mexican truckers have been blocking the Calexico East-Mexicali border crossing on Thursday, causing commercial traffic disruptions. The Mexican drivers are demanding clarification from U.S. authorities regarding the enforcement of cabotage rules following the revocation of B-1 visas. Cabotage refers to the transport of domestic freight between two points within the United States, which is prohibited for Mexican B-1 drivers.
Mexican news outlets report that 17 drivers have had their visas revoked this week, but the exact timing remains unclear. The protest is alleged to be driver-led, with an estimated 1,255 commercial trucks passing through the border crossing daily, generating $2 billion in trade annually.
