The border crossing in Del Rio, Texas, where thousands of Haitian migrants arrived in recent weeks, will be partially reopened on Saturday afternoon, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.

Driving the news: Trade and travel operations at the Del Rio Port of Entry will resume for passenger traffic at 4 p.m. on Saturday and cargo traffic will resume on Monday morning.

The move comes after the camp, where thousands of Haitian migrants and asylum-seekers sought refuge, was cleared on Friday.
CBP temporarily closed the Del Rio Port of Entry on Sept. 17 and rerouted traffic to the border crossing in Eagle Pass, Texas.
