Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced Tuesday a rancher near the Mexico border was tragically murdered by an improvised explosive device (IED) this week.
“A tragic and alarming incident occurred near Brownsville, Texas, where a U.S. citizen and Texas rancher was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED). This shocking act of violence highlights the growing threat posed by cartel activity along our southern border,” Miller wrote in a press statement.
The alert continued, “I urge all Texas farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers who travel to Mexico or operate near the border to exercise extreme caution… We cannot overlook the rising violence that threatens not only lives but also the security of our farms, ranches, and rural communities.I encourage everyone in the agricultural industry to stay vigilant, remain aware of their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.”
Miller urged citizens to stay away from remote areas and to avoid traveling at night time, adding, “Our agriculture family is the backbone of Texas, and we must do everything we can to protect it.”
Last month, Infowars reported on a local San Antonio, Texas, news outlet revealing Mexican drug cartels were placing explosives on roads leading into America near the Texas border.
