SAN DIEGO (CBS) — Authorities are warning of a potential threat to one of California’s border crossings with Mexico.

KNX 1070′s Tom Reopelle reports the Calexico border crossing remains open Friday amid an unconfirmed threat.

Customs and Border Protection deployed additional officers to the port to ensure safety for travelers and border personnel.

“We are working closely with our state, local and federal law enforcement partners and with teh government of Mexico,” said CBP spokeswoman Jackie Wasiluk.

“We ask our federal, state, and local partners and the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement authorities,” she added.

Information on the potential threat has not been disclosed, but the threat does originate from the Mexico side of the border, CBP officials said.

OSAMA OBAMA

No news here, just a little tail wagging the dog!

We are totaly unpretected on our southern boarders. The simple fact that we can not stop the comon illegal Mexican crossing speaks volume!!!

Habib is just waiting for the right time to strike.

Mexican cartels have been runnig the show for years on the American side, so you know it’s not the Mexicans the BP are concerned about.
Kenneth Howell

Could we please nuke Mexico city!

Let’s see if I got this right. Governor Brown wants to open the doors to all illegals and have the California taxpayer foot the bill. Then lets go after Law enforcement because they make too much money in their retirement?
Why did you vote him back in office? You got what you wanted and you are now surprised there might be some bad guys in the group?
AND YES legalize pot and eliminate the black market and the cartel.

People need to read and learn about the North American Union. Then put the 2 &2 together to see why our state (alone) is on it’s way to bankruputcy and illegals are here.

Pretty pathetic that the federal government is more serious about defending South Korea’s border than our own.
Lex

Too bad all our reserve units are deployed instead of gearing up to protect our borders.

Yes the California Nat Guard is on the job in Kosovo! They should be on the southern boarder!
