Subject: CBP Mem Day WARNING — “Operation Rising Grid”

Snippet:

Internal chatter confirms CBP is quietly activating a rarely-used protocol this Memorial Day weekend, codenamed Operation Rising Grid. Sources say this isn’t about traffic jams.

Wait times at southern land ports are expected to spike to historic levels — think 6+ hours — but that’s the cover. The real story? A suspected coordinated effort to track and intercept specific individuals re-entering from Mexico, using new “deep-scan” mobile units hidden in plain sight among standard inspection lanes. Think license plate readers on steroids, cross-referencing real-time with a classified foreign watchlist we were told didn’t exist.

Travelers are advised: if you’re crossing back Sunday or Monday, your vehicle’s digital footprint may be logged and shared before you even see an agent. “Secure travel” apps are being pinged.

And that weather delay they’ll blame? That’s just cover for the data pull.
