[quote:Anonymous Coward 77952124:MV81MTExMjU3XzkzNzU5MDM2XzJENzJDMzc=] Cartels burning trucks!!! Cartel members on Wednesday afternoon ignited four tractor-trailers that were parked on the side of the northbound entrance onto the bridge, according to a report. Flames and black smoke stretched into the sky, and firefighters responded to the scene. “State authorities believe the trailers were set on fire by cartel operatives to pressure truck drivers to end the blockade,” a source familiar with the situation told the Monitor, a McAllen, Texas-based news outlet. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/cartels-reportedly-set-fire-to-trucks-at-border-to-force-bridge-reopening [/quote]

Commercial traffic at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge stopped Monday and a similar protest affected traffic into and out of El Paso. The blockades could impact the flow of produce to restaurants and grocery stores.
