• Del Rio Man Sentenced for Meth Hidden in Propane Tanks (hoodline.com) — A major meth smuggling attempt stopped at the Eagle Pass port of entry has now led to a 17½-year federal prison sentence for the driver. Officers uncovered more than 160 kilograms of liquid meth hidden in propane tanks during a 2022 inspection, and prosecutors say the case is part of a broader federal crackdown on cross‑border trafficking operations.
