What you do, is drop them off to walk through, and get them on the other side.


If you drop the non-Sentri pax off before the border and you are caught your Sentri card will be revoked.
Thems the rules.
I don’t break the rules. Going back to the commoners lane would be torture!



How far on either side of the border?

BS on the drop off revocation of your SENTRI
Before I drive across thru SENTRI, I have dropped off a SENTRI person to walk across with other Non-SENTRI persons for many years. I only transport the SENTRI persons luggage along with mine to comply.
I state I have the luggage of a SENTRI person other than me. They have asked the name of the SENTRI person to be sure their associated with the vehicle.
My wife would kill me if I got her SENTRI card taken away while she walks the grandkids across
I used to walk them across, but they suspect men of human trafficking when crossing with children. CBP would ask the kids who I am.
My grandson told the CBP guy he's stupid to ask, Love that kid

Goat's got it!


Edited version: After writing my initial response I realized it wasn't accurate, so here is this morning's revised reply -

They can revoke your SENTRI - for many reasons. I had asked about dropping off non-SENTRI passengers and was told that once you are in the SENTRI specific lanes you cannot drop off non-SENTRI passengers. Not only that, but if the non-SENTRI passenger's luggage (if any) remains in your SENTRI approved vehicle they can also revoke your pass.

Some border crossings make it easy to drop someone off - Otay Mesa and Mexicali/Calexico east for example. The new Mexicali/Calexico west crossing doesn't look good for dropping off passengers in a convenient place.

Upon further questioning at another POE it seemed pretty much discretionary for the CBP officer. It seems pretty easy to us to follow the rules rather than take a chance on not having SENTRI.

We crossed at the new Mexicali/Calexico west SENTRI this past Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. - no cars ahead of us - drove straight to the booth.

Do what you want. You lose your sentri, not my problem. I don’t care.
