Article says it is Saginaw, Michigan. It is from the AP. Maybe someone in TX got mixed up. Or maybe sister cities. Saginaw, TX may be rough town too, but it is not a boarder town so I doubt it comes close to Saginaw. Saginaw is mini Detroit. BTW there is a Saginaw, Alabama too. Of the three the latter likely the best.
Its a pretty curious name to be found in such diverse places. What Wiki says about Saginaw Michigan.
The name Saginaw is widely believed to mean “where the Sauk were” in the Ojibwe language, possibly in reference to the Sauk tribe who lived at the mouth of the river. Another possible explanation is that it originated from “Sace-nong” or “Sak-e-nong” (English: Sauk Town) because the Sauk people once lived there, or from Chippewa words meaning ‘place of the outlet’ from “sag” (English: opening), and “ong” (English: place of).
Looks like Saginaw Texas is named after Saginaw Mi. (Originally named Dido)
From Wiki
The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green, who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan.[1] The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means “to flow out.” It is also the name of a river, a bay, and a city in Michigan.
Those were Michigan license plates on the vehicles.
