Laredo, TX – Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement, regarding U.S., Mexico, and Canada’s agreement, of an additional 30-day extension of border restrictions for non-essential travelers across their shared borders.

“As a member of the Bipartisan White House Task Force, I support the decision to extend restrictions for non-essential travelers across our borders, as it will help slow the spread of coronavirus and assist in preparing the country for a phased reopening. This 30-day extension is one that will ultimately protect people on both sides of the US-Mexico border.”

“I’d like to thank the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Their service to our country and its borders protect our communities every day during this difficult time.”
