Border Patrol keeps Big Bend park in view amid shifting smuggling
The Big Bend station near Marfa and Alpine maintained vigilance with roadblocks and dogs after a major bust tied 35 pounds of marijuana to 3.5 pounds of heroin. In 1998 Texas and Arizona border sectors report rising arrests and seizures, while Big Bend sees slower, local patrols and occasional traffic for daily needs.

Blue law battle over car lots drags in Texas
State officials plan to continue enforcing the blue law restricting car lot hours while a judge weighs a challenge. Judge Reed Leverton issued a memo suggesting the state may not enforce the law, but a Morals/ Morales spokesman called it nonbinding. Carmax, challenging the law as applied beyond El Paso, argues enforcement is unfair while the last Texas blue law remains in effect.

INS restructuring remains in flux amid fast moving budget talks

Speaker Morra says the deal is not final as Rogers and Abraham push for INS changes while White House opposition and Republican skeptics threaten to drop the plan amid pending negotiations. Cecilia Munoz of the National Council of La Raza says immigrant groups will press the White House to resist reckless actions before adjournment.
