Mexican gunrunning on steady increase
The State Department says arms smuggling into Mexico is a persistent issue with no proof of political motive for recent actions. A Ranchito Mexico seizure yielded $20,000 worth of Texas sourced arms. Mexican and U.S. authorities report multiple shipments blocked across the Rio Grande and at Nuevo Laredo. Police and customs officials tie arms to broader movements and individuals, with several cases fined in El Paso and Houston.
