BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement today regarding the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reducing their hours of operation at two North Dakota ports instead of three:

“This is a positive step taken by CBP for the Maida port of entry, and I applaud them for responding to the concerns of residents in the area. However, their decision to reduce hours at the Antler and Carbury ports will affect those North Dakota communities, and I urge CBP to work with them to help mitigate the impact. I will continue monitoring this situation to make sure CBP policy meets the needs of the people of North Dakota.”

Senator Cramer urged CBP to prioritize the needs of North Dakotans in a letter to their leadership. Click here to read the letter.
