State government officials blamed Mexican cartels for the death of a U.S. rancher from south Texas who was killed by an improvised explosive device left on the U.S. side of the Mexico border.
“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,” said Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a Republican, in a statement Tuesday afternoon.
