 Zetas Threatening South Texas Lawmakers

WESLACO - Several South Texas lawmakers tell CHANNEL 5 NEWS they've received threats from Mexican drug cartels.
For safety reasons, the lawmakers didn't want us to identify them. But
a U.S. security source tells us the Zetas made the threats to
intimidate lawmakers.
He adds it’s not likely the threats would be carried out, but
lawmakers should take the threats seriously. We’re told the Zetas have
the capability to kidnap officials.
Our source explains increased law enforcement at the border is making
it tougher for the Zetas to preserve their drug and weapons smuggling
routes into the United States. They don’t want lawmakers to send
National Guard troops to the border. Troops would threaten the Zetas’
operations.
The security source tells us the threats are an
act of desperation, but they may have the opposite effect the Zetas
want. The more threats against lawmakers make it more likely the
governor would send the National Guard to the border.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS is working to find out more information. We'll bring you the very latest updates.
