A Mexican national has been sentenced in Texas for running guns across the border in what authorities describe as a well-organized smuggling operation. Garza Pacheco would make regular trips from Mexico to San Antonio, entering the United States through the Eagle Pass port of entry. Once in Texas, he would buy firearms and then smuggle them back into Mexico by hiding the weapons in his vehicle. Federal authorities say this was his standard operating procedure for moving illegal weapons across the international border. The case highlights ongoing concerns about gun trafficking networks that operate between the United States and Mexico, with smugglers taking advantage of easier access to firearms on the American side of the border.
