The Boquillas Port of Entry (POE) is closed due to high river levels and unsafe crossing conditions. It is reasonable to say that until the river level recedes and the crossing conditions are safe the POE will be closed until further notice. Once the Chief Rangers Office clears the crossing for safe crossing, Dispatch will send out an announcement
