The seizure of an American company’s quarry facility in Mexico by the Mexican military and local state police has sparked outrage among former and current government officials, as well as appeals for the Biden administration and the Mexico’s U.S. ambassador to intervene.According to Vulcan Materials, a Birmingham, Alabama-based company and the largest producer of construction aggregates in the U.S., members of the Mexican navy, local state police, along with federal investigators, entered the quarry just south of Playa del Carmen in Mexico’s Quintana Roo state on the night of March 14. They then forced the company to allow CEMEX, a Mexican-owned materials company, to unload a shipment of cement from a ship in the port.Vulcan previously leased land to and provided offloading and handling services for CEMEX at the site, but the agreement expired last December and talks for a renegotiated contract broke down. The company said CEMEX completed unloading the forced shipment on Friday. However, the military and police have remained in control of the property and have given no indication they plan to leave, the company said.”I am writing to request that your government immediately order its forces and officials to leave our private property,” Vulcan Chairman and CEO J. Thomas Hill wrote in a letter to Mexican Ambassador Esteban Moctezuma Barragán on Thursday, two days following the initial seizure.AMERICAN CITIZEN ‘KIDNAPPED FROM HER RESIDENCE’ IN MEXICO, FBI SAYS”The government’s participation in this gross violation of our property rights is yet another example of the government’s arbitrary and illegal treatment of Vulcan and its investments in Mexico. This occupation must cease immediately,” he added.Vulcan has been in tension with Mexico for months after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador forced a shutdown of the quarry’s operations in May 2022. Lopez Obrador accused the company of trying to extract minerals from Mexico without the required permits and ship them to the U.S.The government suspended Vulcan’s customs permits on May 13, just days after shutting down the quarry, which the company says has put a strain on its ability to provide the stone construction aggregates to construct roads, bridges and other infrastructure in the U.S., and it has prompted lawmakers to request the Biden administration take swift action.The quarry has remained closed amid legal proceedings in the Mexican courts, although Biden administration officials have been working with the Mexican government to find a solution, the company said.DEA AWARE OF MEXICAN PHARMACIES SELLING FENTANYL-LACED PILLS FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS: REPORTSen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., a ranking member on the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee, told Fox News Digital that she discussed the tensions between Vulcan and the Mexican government with Mexico Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard while on an official trip to Mexico City last month. She told Fox that the Mexican government needed to focus more on going after the cartels endangering Mexican citizens and the millions of tourists who visit the country each year. Katie Britt, R-Ala. (Tom Williams / CQ-Roll Call Inc. via Getty Images / File)”This forcible seizure of private property is unlawful and unacceptable. It is shameful that this Mexican presidential administration would rather confiscate American assets than the fentanyl killing hundreds of Americans per day,” she said.”President Biden must raise this directly with President López Obrador and assure the American people that this will not be tolerated. The ramifications of this illicit seizure extend into the United States, significantly hamstringing important American infrastructure, energy and other construction projects that currently rely on Vulcan’s operations in Mexico for materials. My office and I will continue to monitor this situation and ensure this is not swept under the rug,” she added.Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who served in the Trump administration, reacted to the apparent seizure on Twitter by calling on the Biden administration to defend Vulcan.MEXICO MEDICAL TOURISM BOOMS AS AMERICANS RISK LIVES FOR SURGERIES: ‘WORST CHOICE I EVER MADE’”Getting pretty used to the Biden administration letting China and Russia kick sand in our faces (covid and fentanyl deaths, spy balloons, taking down U.S. MQ-9 Reaper)—but now Mexico, too?” he wrote on Twitter Sunday.”The Biden administration needs to engage immediately to defend a U.S. company and to protect U.S. interests. This is the only deep water port on the Yucatán Peninsula. Significant geopolitical and economic implications,” he added.

This is insane,” he wrote on Twitter, including the security footage video of the military entering the facility.Security footage from Vulcan’s Mexican quarry on March 14 obtained by Fox News Digital appears to show members of the Mexican military and Quintana Roo state police arriving at the main gate of the quarry and forcing the guard to allow them inside. The armed group was accompanied by what appeared to be CEMEX personnel.According to Vulcan, the military told on-site personnel that they had an order to bring the CEMEX vessel into the port to unload its contents. The company said, however, that the military did not present or possess any court order allowing them to legally enter the property.WAYS AND MEANS CHAIR CONDEMNS MEXICO’S THREAT TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST REPUBLICANS: ‘UNACCEPTABLE’The company also suggested the move could be Lopez Obrador’s first step in taking control of its port under the guise of “national security” but with the intention of using it to import materials from Cuba to go toward a railway system called the Mayan Train currently being constructed in the region.Vulcan also speculates that CEMEX will seek to occupy the property with the support of the military and police for an unknown period and distribute its unloaded materials to its customers. This screenshot of a security video provided by Vulcan Materials shows Mexican police and military entering the company’s facility in Quintana Roo, Mexico, on March 14, 2023. (Vulcan Materials)In response to the seizure, Vulcan filed for federal civil and criminal protections and lodged a general federal complaint against the Mexican military, Quintana Roo state police, local prosecution authorities and CEMEX for acting without a warrant and for breaching a previous federal court injunction concerning the land. It also said it had been denied access to any of the files that supposedly supported the actions taken against Vulcan.Vulcan provided Fox a copy of a subsequent March 16 court order by Judge Angélica del Carmen Ortuño Suárez, the Second District judge in the state of Quintana Roo that ordered the military to cease its actions, but says the force has still not left the premises. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Fox News Digital reached out to the U.S. State Department for comment but did not receive an immediate response.  Ambassador Moctezuma’s office and the offices of CEMEX also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Fox News host Mark Levin defended the United States’ role in the war in Ukraine, saying it is similar to the support the French provided to the U.S. during the American Revolution. “We would not have won the American Revolution without the help of the French,” he argued Sunday on “Life Liberty & Levin.” “So starting in 1778, right to the end of the Revolutionary War, the French gave us support. Ninety percent of all, what I’ll call bullets, fired during the War of Independence were manufactured by the French.”Levin continued, highlighting how the French cut off the British fleet at the Battle of Yorktown and pounded British encampments, ultimately leading to British Gen. Charles Cornwallis’ surrender. He said the Ukrainian people are engaged in a similar fight to “maintain their independence and their liberty.” British General Charles Cornwallis surrenders to General George Washington at Yorktown, Va.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dissuaded President Trump supporters from protesting a looming indictment against the former president on Sunday.”I don’t think people should protest this stuff,” McCarthy said during a presser at a House Republican retreat on Sunday, according to The Hill.McCarthy defended Trump’s rhetoric around the potential protests, arguing that the former president wasn’t “talking in a harmful way” but that he wanted to “educate people about what’s going on.””Nobody should harm one another…And this is why you should really make law equal because if that was the case, nothing would happen,” McCarthy said. “If was this to happen, we want calmness out there.”TRUMP TARGETED: A LOOK AT PROBES INVOLVING THE FORMER PRESIDENT; FROM STORMY DANIELS TO RUSSIA TO MAR-A-LAGO House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California speaks at an election event, Nov. 9, 2022, in Washington.

President Biden broke one of the main promises he made to voters during his presidential campaign this week, green-lighting a massive oil drilling project on federal land to the chagrin of prominent progressives and environmental groups.On Monday, the Department of the Interior (DOI) approved permits for oil company ConocoPhillips’ proposed 30-year Willow Project in northern Alaska. While the agency touted that it had reduced the size of the project by 40%, environmentalists noted that, under the approved three-site version, it would still yield about 92% of the oil the company sought to produce with the original five-site proposal.”The Biden administration has committed to fighting climate change and advancing environmental justice—today’s decision to approve the Willow project fails to live up to those promises,” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. said in a joint statement Monday.”Their decision ignores … the irrefutable science that says we must stop building projects like this to slow the ever more devastating impacts of climate change,” they continued. “The only acceptable Willow project is no Willow project.”BIDEN ADMIN HIT WITH LAWSUIT OVER APPROVAL OF MASSIVE OIL DRILLING PROJECT: ‘WE ARE ENRAGED’ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., criticized President Biden for not including illegal immigrants in his pardon for those federally convicted of simple marijuana possession. (Drew Angerer/Getty Images and Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images)Approving Willow — which could produce up to 614 million barrels over its life span which, when burned, could spew 278 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, the carbon footprint equivalent of 2 million cars — is a significant departure from Biden’s 2020 campaign platform. Throughout his presidential campaign, Biden repeatedly pledged to block new oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters while promising to steer clear of wildlife refuges in Alaska. In one instance, at a September 2019 campaign stop in New Hampshire, Biden told a young climate activist to “look in my eyes” before adding, “I guarantee you, we are going to end fossil fuel.”DARK MONEY ECO GROUP APPEARS TO BE ASTROTURFING OPPOSITION TO MAJOR OIL PROJECT”[Biden will take actions] protecting America’s natural treasures by permanently protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other areas impacted by President Trump’s attack on federal lands and waters; and banning new oil and gas leasing on public lands and waters,” Biden’s official campaign website stated as his top energy policy priority.”Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period,” Biden remarked during a March 2020 Democratic debate.The president, though, actively oversaw the Willow decision process and ultimately gave the green light to project, directly contradicting his pledge to ban new oil and gas leasing on federal lands. Although White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the decision Thursday, saying the president’s hands were tied legally, the administration has repeatedly reversed past lease decision implemented by the Trump administration. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., the youngest member of Congress, said the younger generation supported Biden during the 2020 election “because of commitments such as ‘no more drilling on federal land.’” He added the commitment “has been broken.”

Two dogs in McAllen, Texas died last week after getting attacked by the Africanized Bee, also known as killer bees, according to reports.NBC station KVEO in Brownsville, Texas reported that the dogs died at a McAllen home after getting attacked by bees.
