[Breitbart] Federal law enforcement officials say a large weapons cache seized in the Texas border town of Laredo was likely heading to Mexico. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents and other law enforcement agencies teamed up to stop a large quantity of semi-automatic weapons, ammunition, and ballistic armor from being smuggled to Mexican drug cartels in Nuevo Laredo.
Special Agents with the Laredo HSI High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force joined forces earlier this month with other federal and local law enforcement agencies to seize 21 long arm rifles, 962 rounds of ammunition, magazines, belt fed magazines, ballistic plates, armor carriers, and ghillie suits, according to a statement provided to Breitbart Texas by ICE officials. |
