There are long delays for international travelers Friday as Customs and Border Protection confirms its computer system is down nationwide and agents are having to process people by hand.
No word what caused the computer system crash or when it'll be fixed.
The computers are slowly begining to come back online.
An update from @CBP on the issue impacting passenger processing in customs areas. Please continue to check with your airline directly for the latest on any potential flight impacts. https://t.co/pCqY6M1lE1
