The FBI and DEA just pulled a trucking boss out of a nice neighborhood in Eagle Pass, Texas, and I can't find one English-language outlet covering it.
His name is Julio Rodolfo González. Mexican border papers report he's facing a federal money laundering conspiracy charge tied to fuel smuggling.
They also say the case may be sealed, which usually means more people are about to get a knock on the door.
This is the diesel racket nobody in Washington talks about. Hundreds of semis cross into Eagle Pass empty every single day, fill up on Texas diesel, and haul it right back to Mexico.
The bridge got so jammed that a 30 minute wait turned into six or eight hours for legitimate freight.
It gets worse. One Mexican reporter says González may be a U.S. contact for the fuel network run by the Farías Laguna brothers.
Those are high-ranking Mexican Navy officers accused of running fuel tankers out of Houston and pocketing more than $150 million.
Black-market fuel, crooked officials, and a Texas border town stuck in the middle. Where is the national press on this one?

World-class science. Extraordinary energy potential.
@USGS estimates 96 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered natural gas on Alaska’s North Slope. Interior science is helping reveal the resources that could power America’s future. https://t.co/UplDWVkZ5F
It’s amazing to me how many US citizens are in love with social welfare spending and look at cuts to them as existentially threatening. They are willing to sacrifice every ambitious person’s future to continue to suckle at government tit. The only acceptable outlet for ambition to then is progressive politics. Not building businesses and creating wealth for others. This is what our education and media complex has gifted us with.
Check out the latest podcast with Bill Armstrong, owner of Armstrong Oil & Gas! Listen to him talk about the history of his business, why he decided to explore on the North Slope in 2001, and the huge find he made that became Pikka.
