PROGRESO, Texas The Progreso International Bridge linking Mexico and Texas is shut down while authorities investigate a suspicious package found at the border crossing. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Felix Garza said a caller to the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office reported a bomb on the bridge about 7 p.m. Thursday.
Garza said the crossing was shut down and wasn't sure when the bridge would reopen. He said officers didn't find anything on the U.S. side of the bridge. But Mexican authorities said they found a suspicious package. Garza told The Monitor in McAllen that the package didn't look like it had anything to do with bombs, but they were taking a look at it.
They recently arrested a mexican police officer in Texas for selling drugs. It need to stop but no one has the guts to do it. Certainly none of our presidential candidates
Thanks for the ping.
