LAREDO, TX. – International Trade Companies raised their discomfort due to revisions that DPS officials applied to containers and trailer boxes.
The operation was installed when leaving the Colombia Bridge, in addition to Highway IH-35 and Federal 83 with the presence of patrol cars and the Texas National Guard.
International cargo operators uploaded videos that went viral when DPS state truck police were checking inside boxes, trailers, and containers.
Federal Congressman Henry Cuellar received dozens of calls from transport companies and customs agents concerned about the delays that the operation is undergoing.
“From Laredo to Cotulla on IH-35, as well as from Laredo to Zapata, the presence of DPS agents increased,” a spokesman said. “It is correct that vehicle inspections have been raised to another level.”
Governor Greg Abbott alleges that the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard are working together to secure the border, stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas, and prevent, detect and intercept transnationals. criminal behavior between ports of entry in response to the federal government’s unwillingness to address the border crisis.
Congressman Cuellar said that it is a political showcase for Governor Abbott when there are other types of crimes that correspond to his office to attack.
He alleged that he is stopping and causing problems to international trade with his operations.
Abbott justifies their operations by indicating that since Operation Lone Star began, they have executed 225 migrant arrests with more than 13,300 criminal arrests and 10,700 cases of serious crimes, arrested 3,600 weapons, and seized 30 million dollars in cash.
