AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott will restart the inspections of commercial trucks after they have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas in an effort to prevent human smuggling following Monday’s tragedy in San Antonio.

“Today, I’m announcing Texas is going to add additional truck checkpoints,” Abbott, who is seeking a third term in November, said during a press conference in the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday afternoon. “[The Department of Public Safety] will create and implement the checkpoint strategy beginning immediately, where they will begin targeting trucks like the [one] that was used.”
