The blockade began about 11:15 a.m. Sunday, and by 3 p.m., a Mexican customs official said there were about 100 cars backed up at the Sonoyta border crossing. The official said the protesters were not violent but were spread across the road, making it impossible for cars to pass.
Roger Maier, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said it all ended around 7 p.m. as protesters made way for cars to pass through, while continuing to promote their cause.
