I spoke with a friend who has a small ranch about 10 miles east of the ranches in question and he reported no increase in LEO presence and had heard nothing of this story. He said he’d call if that changes. Living out in the country he has always been well armed and vigilant. The ongoing gun battles between the cartels and the Federales and between rival cartels is just across the border from him and he does worry about spillover from that. All of us with family along that border worry about that.
