Most of the information in this report came from the so-called “mañanera” press conference provided by the president of Mexico. At the same time, Samuel García, Nuevo León’s governor, announced that the Tesla legal team would arrive this week to work and review possible incentives for the Tesla plant.
No dates regarding the start-up were announced either, but once the incentive package is accepted, the Tesla group has plans to finish the mega plant in nine months. If this happens, this will be a mega record time.
The Nuevo Leon governor added that the incentive package is by law regulated by the Economic Development Law.
A few days ago, Mexico’s president announced that he was not permitting Tesla to build in Nuevo Leon for several years due to the state’s water problems.
The governor also shared that Elon Musk offered the services of his company of aquifer well exploration services named The Boring Company. This will help solve many problems, especially in the area where the plant intends to be built.
Mexico is the right country for an electric car plant. It is close to the United States of America, a great consumer. It is worth mentioning that the governor of Nuevo Leon has done everything he can to attract investment to his state and Mexico.

EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol Agents in El Paso Sector intercept 171 migrants from four human stash houses.
On Feb. 26, agents assigned to the El Paso Border Patrol Station Anti-Smuggling Unit (ASU) along with the Texas Department of Public Safety encountered 50 smuggled migrants inside a stash house. Agents initially received information about a property possibly harboring migrants located near Fairbanks Dr. and Highway 54 in El Paso, Texas. When agents arrived at the location, they encountered 50 migrants from Guatemala, Mexico and El Salvador inside the car garage. All migrants were found in good health despite being housed in deplorable conditions. All migrants were processed accordingly while two individuals from Mexico were detained to face prosecution by the State of Texas for smuggling.
On Feb. 28, agents assigned to the El Paso Border Patrol Station ASU received information from the Ysleta Station ASU and the Texas Department of Public Safety regarding a property in northeast El Paso possibly being used as a stash house. When agents arrived at the property near Pershing Dr. and Highway 54, they located 25 smuggled migrants. All migrants, from Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia, including an unaccompanied juvenile from Mexico were medically evaluated and found in good health.
On March 1, Border Patrol Agents assigned to the El Paso Station ASU located 78 smuggled migrants crammed inside a small house in central El Paso. Agents received information from a previous smuggling event from the Ysleta Station ASU that led them to the property near E Paisano Dr. and Frutas Ave. All migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, including three unaccompanied juveniles from Guatemala, were found in good health and transported to the station for processing. The smuggling facilitator was also identified, and the smuggling case was presented for federal prosecution.
On March 2, a joint investigation involving Border Patrol Agents from the Ysleta Station ASU and Santa Teresa Station ASU led them to another stash house. Eighteen smuggled migrants, from Mexico, Ecuador, Honduras and Guatemala, were located inside this stash house in Horizon, TX. Records checks confirmed that one individual from Ecuador had a prior conviction for 2nd degree Rape Against a Child from New York in 2014. The Ecuadorian will face charges for the illegal re-entry, under 8 USC 1326.
All those migrants amenable to Title 42 were expelled back to Mexico and others transported to the Central Processing Center to be processed under Title 8. Since Fiscal Year 2023 began, El Paso Sector agents have busted 95 stash houses leading to the interception of more than 1,200 migrants.
“Our multi-layer enforcement strategy and whole of government approach, in collaboration with our law enforcement partners has been crucial to our border security mission. We will continue to work together to disrupt Transnational Criminal Organizations and their illicit activity in this border region.” said El Paso Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Peter Jaquez. “I am grateful for our community and local law enforcement support and partnerships.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection welcomes assistance from the community. Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol while remaining anonymous by calling 1-800-635-2509.

HARLINGEN, Texas – Some students from Texas State Technical College’s Electrical Lineworker and Management Technology and Workforce Training and Continuing Education programs recently participated in the annual Charro Days parade in Brownsville.
The students waved to the crowd from a large flatbed-trailer float that featured models of utility poles decorated with traditional Mexican “papel picado.” Some of them wore sombreros, hard hats or cowboy hats.
Charro Days is a weeklong fiesta celebrated in Brownsville in late February that commemorates the Mexican heritage of Brownsville and Matamoros residents. It is named in honor of the “Charro,” a dashing Mexican gentleman cowboy. As part of the celebration, many residents and visitors dress in the traditional costumes of Mexico.
TSTC Electrical Lineworker students Jose Benavidez, Manuel Lerma and Javier Morales each have a personal connection to the festival as area residents.
Benavidez, who is studying for an Associate of Applied Science degree, recalled his childhood memories of the festivities.
“I experienced Charro Days with my family during my youth,” he said. “We went to have a great time, enjoy food, and see everyone who participated in the parade. Now, as an adult, I feel that I can be an inspiration as a future electrical lineworker for children who are watching from the crowd.”
Lerma is pursuing a certificate of completion in Electrical Lineworker and Management Technology in the program. He also experienced the festival with his family as a child.
“I remember that people were proud to express their culture,” he said. “It feels great to participate because I’ve always wanted to. After the parade, my grandfather said he was proud to see me representing Brownsville.”
Morales is an Air Force veteran who participated in Charro Days as a student in elementary, middle and high school.
“When I performed in elementary, we stopped to dance in front of parade-goers,” he said. “In middle school, I performed with the school’s band. And in high school, I represented as a member of the ROTC battalion. As an adult, it’s interesting to see that evolution.”
Robert Ramirez, statewide lead of TSTC’s Professional Driving Academy, said the experience was rewarding as a first-time participant.
“It was fantastic to see the crowd waving at us on the TSTC float,” he said. “Our group representing TSTC’s Workforce Training program was proud to be a part of this tradition.”
Cledia Hernandez, associate vice chancellor for External Relations and Workforce Development, said TSTC was honored to celebrate the event with its students and the community.
“Charro Days celebrates the customs and rich traditions that are at the core of our culture,” she said. “We are proud to showcase our TSTC spirit at this cultural event.”

EL PASO, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection will begin construction of Low Energy Portal (LEP) scanning systems at the Bridge of the Americas international crossing in El Paso March 8. The systems will be placed in the passenger vehicle queuing areas south of the primary inspection booths and scan arriving vehicular traffic.
“The LEP system will scan arriving traffic and the imagery generated will be used by CBP to identify potential threats in a timely and efficient manner,” said CBP El Paso Port Director Ray Provencio. “The systems will supplement existing non-intrusive inspection technology, enhance border security, and will not impede current traffic flows or wait times.”
Initial construction will begin on the west side of the bridge and move east during installation. The construction is not expected to impede arriving northbound traffic. Port traffic will be routed around construction zones but access to all 14 inspection booths will remain. In addition, contractors plan to work during the night to further reduce any impact on northbound vehicle traffic. The goal is to have construction completed by late April with implementation to begin in the early summer.
Once operational all arriving vehicles will pass through the LEP systems after they cross the international boundary and before they reach the primary inspection booth. CBP personnel will review the imagery generated by the system and follow through with additional screening if any anomalies or issues are noted. There will be an option available for those who elect to not drive through the LEP system utilizing existing inspection protocols.
CBP utilizes Non-Intrusive Inspection equipment to aid in the detection of illicit narcotics. The NII systems program supports the detection and prevention of contraband, including weapons, weapons of mass effect or destruction, drugs, currency, and other illegal merchandise, from entering or furthering their entry into the United States, while supporting a minimal impact on the flow of legitimate commerce. This program is an essential aspect of the CBP’s layered enforcement strategy. This technology includes but is not limited to: vehicle, handheld and baggage X-rays, presumptive identification devices for chemicals and density meters.
The use of NII technologies increases the probability of CBP’s Office of Field Operations detecting weapons and destructive devices, as well as narcotics that may be hidden in conveyances, and preventing them from entering or furthering entry into the United States. NII technologies aid in the identification and prevention of undeclared currency and contraband being smuggled into the United States.
In addition to the Bridge of the Americas LEP system, CBP will also place the systems at the Ysleta, Santa Teresa, Fort Hancock, Tornillo and Presidio crossings in the months ahead. CBP is also adding Cargo Multi Energy Portal (MEP) scanning systems in the cargo environment. The first MEP system in the El Paso area is currently under construction at the Santa Teresa port of entry. MEP systems are also slated for cargo facilities at the Bridge of the Americas, Presidio and Columbus ports. New high energy rail scanning systems are planned to be introduced at the two international rail crossings in south El Paso adjacent to the Paso Del Norte crossing.
Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border. Photo: Texas Military Department
Texas Border Business
AUSTIN, Texas – Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard are continuing to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal behavior between ports of entry.
Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 352,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 25,000 criminal arrests, with more than 23,000 felony charges reported. In the fight against fentanyl, DPS has seized over 365 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.
Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps left by the Biden Administration’s refusal to secure the border. Every individual who is apprehended or arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities across Texas and the nation due to President Biden’s open border policies.
Governor Abbott on Tuesday spoke with El Paso’s KFOX to highlight the ongoing need for Texas’ border security mission as President Biden continues refusing to enforce our nation’s immigration laws. Despite the Biden Administration publicly denying the reality of the border crisis, the Governor pointed out that Operation Lone Star was not necessary under the previous administration, when the lowest number of border crossings in decades was reported.
“They have to, at a minimum, enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books that make it illegal for people to enter the United States in places other than official ports of entry, and [federal officials] simply are not doing that,” said Governor Abbott. “They said people don’t just walk across the border, when, in fact, they are just walking across the border. They’ve never been accurate about anything they’ve said about border security.”
DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez joined Newsmax this week to discuss the Biden Administration’s latest plan that would grant parole to certain groups of migrants, which he says will create a magnet for illegal immigrants to cross into the United States. DPS says the plan would condone illegal immigration by allowing people into the country who do not meet the criteria for seeking asylum.
“This is a complete abuse of the asylum process, as well as the parole process,” said Lt. Olivarez. “You may see numbers decrease between points of entry, but it’s about hiding the optics of large groups coming across the border. The federal government does not want the American people and media to see that. It’s only going to make the situation worse, especially in the long run.”
DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez spoke with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto about the expected increase in illegal border crossings and gotaways in the coming spring and summer months. Even with the Biden Administration’s CBP One mobile app now in place, DPS and Operation Lone Star partners are not seeing any decrease in the flow of mass migration and transnational criminal activity.
“As we look at the previous two fiscal years, starting in March and going into the summer is when we see the increase in border encounters and more criminal activity—smuggling cases and drugs coming across,” said Lt. Olivarez. “In January and February, we still had over 100,000 encounters at the border, which is unacceptable. Going into the spring and summer, we anticipate seeing a continued increase in activity from the prior years.”
This week, engineers from Special Response Team 4, a combination of soldiers from the Texas National Guard and Texas State Guard, strengthened border barriers near El Paso. An additional 17,000 feet of double standard razor wire was added to the existing wire to help prevent illegal border crossings. In the past month, the team has installed more than 40,000 feet of razor wire.
“Everything we do here impacts our community directly, regardless of whether it’s here or Eagle Pass or Del Rio,” said Sergeant Dale Banda Gwak. “When you talk to the people who actually live in these communities, they’ll tell you that us being out here on the line has made a difference. It helps make their communities safer.”
Border Czar Banks Visits Texas National Guard Soldiers Stationed Along Border

Texas Border Czar Mike Banks visited the Rio Grande Valley this week to speak with Texas National Guard soldiers deployed as part of Operation Lone Star. Soldiers from Alpha Company in Task Force East’s area of operations shared insight and feedback with Border Czar Banks regarding the mission and their partnership with law enforcement to stop and deter transnational criminal activity.
“One of the things we’re doing is working with state, local, and county law enforcement in order to provide them with assistance through Operation Lone Star grants and step up the patrols we have,” said Border Czar Banks. “We’re also looking to build infrastructure, as well as technology in the form of drones by boosting up drone capability significantly.”

South Texas College continues expanding its international partnerships with two more International Concurrent Enrollment agreements between schools in Matamoros and Reynosa.
In recent signing events, STC’s newest partnering schools St. George Prep School and Instituto Piaget Reynosa are giving their students the chance to pursue a college education while simultaneously finishing their high school diplomas.

These U.S./Mexico partnerships are critical to the economic development of the region and could be the answer to skilled labor shortages in the Rio Grande Valley.
“With these partnerships we are opening doors of opportunity for students…we’re planting the seed of a postsecondary education and promoting college readiness. We’re transforming education,” said STC President Ricardo J. Solis. “We’re breaking barriers and creating bold solutions that will positively impact families and our region. No one in the nation is doing what we’re doing. South Texas College is taking the lead in regionalization.”
Under Solis’ leadership, STC has set forth an international initiative led by Global Market Development Manager Luisa Fernanda Rodriguez, to provide higher education and industry training to schools and manufacturers across the border.
“This collaboration aims to provide Mexican high school students with a smooth transition into the American education system,” said Rodriguez. “Transferring to a university in the United States can take much work for any student, but with an early introduction to the college experience, a student’s transition will be smooth and lead to success.”
Students from Mexico, like those from St. George Prep School and Instituto Piaget Reynosa, are given access to an affordable education through partnerships with STC. Through remote, online learning they are given a head start in pursuing a certificate or associate degree that leads to a high-paying career or the chance to transfer to a four-year university.
St. George Prep School Executive Director Jorge Almanza said their students, whose curriculum’s include classes taught in Spanish, English and French, are always looking for educational opportunities in the United States, so this chance to work with STC has been invaluable.
“When we found out about Dr. Solis creating international partnerships, we knew we needed to take this initiative,” said Almanza. “This is going to help our students experience college early on, get their feet wet; this is education that they can afford, and this will help them fast track their college careers. This is a game changer for our students and we’re very grateful and thrilled to be in this partnership.”
Additionally, Karla Maldonado, director of Instituto Piaget Reynosa agrees that this partnership is going to open many doors for her students.
“This is the first time we work with STC and we’re so happy to be here. This is a great opportunity for our students, for any students from Mexico,” she said. “It’s important that our students get this experience. This is a new advancement for our school, especially to be partnered with such a high caliber school.”
Ultimately, Rodriguez said that coordinating alliances and binational collaboration agreements will help STC and the South Texas region, strengthen institutional links between academia, government and the private sector.

EDINBURG, Texas – U.S. Border Patrol agents from Rio Grande Valley Sector and local law enforcement partners disrupted three human smuggling events, on March 1.
Brownsville agents apprehended four migrants with the assistance of Air and Marine Operations (AMO), the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office, and the Brownsville Police Department. Surveillance camera operators observed a vehicle load suspected migrants after they scaled the border fence. Agents attempted a vehicle stop but the driver failed to yield. An AMO helicopter located the vehicle parked in a residential area. The migrants were located nearby and arrested for being unlawfully in the U.S.
Rio Grande City agents apprehended four migrants after a driver failed to yield. Aerostat operators observed a pick-up truck load migrants in an area well-known for smuggling. Agents encountered the vehicle and attempted to initiate a vehicle stop. The driver failed to yield, speeding away, until then striking a fence in a residential neighborhood. The migrants attempted to abscond but were arrested after being determined to be illegally present in the United States. No injuries were reported.
Falfurrias agents apprehended two migrants after agents encountered a vehicle linked to human smuggling activity. The driver of the vehicle crashed through two closed gates and a fence before coming to a stop. The migrants were arrested after being determined to be illegally present in the US. No injuries were reported.
“The increasing disregard for the life and safety of people being smuggled by smugglers highlights the everyday dangers faced by law enforcement and members of our local communities,” said RGV Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. “Every Border Patrol agent values our local law enforcement partners and the technology which helps us make these interdictions.”

“It doesn’t matter [what] the color of your skin [is] or your wealth, when you have a child that is the most important thing in your life… one thing we know in this country, education is the great equalizer. We want to parents to feel empowered and that’s what we’re doing here,” said Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Empowering parents and promoting the well-being of children is a top priority of the House Republican majority. That’s why the Parents Bill of Rights was a critical piece of the House Republican Commitment to America, and that’s why the Parents Bill of Rights was introduced in the House as H.R. 5.
The Parents Bill of Rights has 5 pillars to ensure parents have the right to have a voice in their kids’ education:
the Parents Bill of Rights. Image Source: https://www.instagram.com/speakermccarthy/
Right to know what’s being taught in schools and to see reading material
Right to be heard
Right to see school budget and spending
Right to protect their child’s privacy
Right to be updated on any violent activity at school
To highlight the unveiling of the legislation, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20), Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21), House Education and the Workforce Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05), Representative Julia Letlow (LA-05), Representative Aaron Bean (FL-04), and Representative Erin Houchin (IN-09) met with concerned parents to hear the parents’ stories and detail how the legislation would impact American education.

Neeley McAllister: “Despite all the consequences caused by heavy-handed mandates forced onto us by bureaucrats and teachers unions, there was a silver lining: parents in Fairfax County and in school districts across the country had a front row seat to what their kids were learning in school. And in most cases, we were dismayed and appalled at the adult subject matter that was not only on the bookshelves of taxpayer-funded libraries, but also being forced upon them in the classroom.”
Nicole Solas: “I am a mother from Rhode Island who was sued by the teachers union because I simply wanted to know what my Kindergartner would be learning in school… the largest teachers union in the country, the National Education Association, did file a lawsuit against me to bully me and harass me and to send a message to other parents that if you ask questions they will come after you.”
Stacey Whomsley: “I currently serve as school director for the Westchester Area School District and was elected in 2021. I ran for this position after struggling to be heard as a parent, taxpayer, and concerned member of my community… transparency in public education is a cornerstone of… my advocacy for my community.”
Scott Smith: “I went to the school board meeting to speak up for my daughter and to get some answers that we deserved. But instead of putting her safety and our safety of other students first the Loudoun County School Board tried to hide the facts and protect their administrators at all cost. We now know that three young girls were attacked by the same now convicted sexual predator. The school board has failed each of these young girls and their families every step of the way, and continues to do this every day.”
