Risks & tensions

Narrow scope: only entry/departure immunities granted, explicitly excluding broader Act protections—may create operational friction for USMBHC activities requiring other immunities
Asymmetry: order addresses only Mexican Section; US Section's status under Act not mentioned, though likely covered by separate authorities
Reservation clause preserves other acquired immunities, creating potential overlap or conflict with other legal bases
