Pueblo Nuevo Another stolen vehicle was reported on Springview in the Pueblo Nuevo sector of Maverick County where a 2002 Chevy Impala was taken from this premises at 266 Springview.
LAREDO, Texas (AP) —
There was an audible gasp from the gathered crowd as Donald Trump's 757 lifted off the tarmac.
"Oh my God. Wow," said Gina Gil, 48, after an excited shriek, reaching for her 11-year-old-nephew. "I think it's a historic moment, ma'am. Seriously, I really do."
Gil was referring to Trump's visit Thursday to Laredo, Texas, a small city on the U.S.-Mexico border where the Republican presidential candidate spent less than an hour touring the border, bragged to reporters about the danger he faced, proclaimed Hispanics love him, and stopped traffic with a presidential-sized motorcade.
Yet beyond the spectacle The Donald seems to create wherever he goes, the billionaire businessman's visit exposed evidence of a divided community whose overwhelmingly Hispanic population both decried Trump as racist and cheered his hardline immigration views. Interviews during and after the whirlwind tour with more than a dozen local residents underscored the danger Trump represents to the GOP's relationship with Hispanic voters and his appeal to a vocal segment of frustrated voters, many Hispanics among them, who see a glaring problem on the nation's southern border that requires attention.
Jessica Gonzalez, 79, a retired housewife who was born and raised in Laredo, said she'd watched as the city she'd grown up in had changed, with restaurants replaced with Mexican food and new people coming in.
Aunque paresca increible, en el pais mas poderoso del mundo se tiene un aproximado de 300 familias o quizas mas en el condado de Maverick que se encuentran sin drenaje ni agua.
Se llamó a una conferencia de prensa donde estuvo presente el comisionado Roberto Ruiz del Precinto #4, Gerry Morales del precinto #1, April Rodriguez del departamento de Planeación para pedir a los residentes de este condado que carescan de estos servicios que se comuniquen con April Rodriguez al 773-4377, se busca tener una contabilidad exacta para despues buscar fondos estatales para estos servicios.
Estaba tambien el señor Ignacio Madera quien hace varios años fue la parte principal (por su trabajo en el estado) para que esta comunidad lograra en aquel tiempo recibir casi $103 millones para resolver los problemas de agua y drenaje. El señor Madera dijo que lo importante es saber cuantas personas no cuentan con agua y donde están ubicadas sus residencias.
Lo importante porqué no estan incluidos cuando ya se habian recibido fondos para terminar con este problema.
El comisionado Morales dijo que hace 8 años el estaba en la mesa directiva del agua, en una area de Chula Vista se les pedia a los vecinos que cedieran un espacio de 10 pies para tirar una linea principal para que personas se conectaran a estos servicios, por 8 meses se estuvo visitando a esa gente explicandoles y muchos se negaron y no se pudo poner la linea, ahora sí te paseas por ese lugar hay letreros pidiendo agua y drenaje.
Recuerde que si tiene este problema tiene que comunicarse con April al 773-4377 o con sus comisionados.

LAREDO —
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is still coming to Texas on Thursday, his campaign said, even though a Border Patrol union here backed out of hosting him.
Local 2455 announced early Thursday it would "pull out of all events involving Donald Trump," citing discussions with its national organization. That announcement throws into question Trump's plan to tour the Mexico border.
"Just to be clear, an endorsement was never discussed for any presidential candidate," the union said, reiterating it does not endorse candidates.
Trump, the bombastic billionaire whose candidacy has rattled the 2016 race, said Thursday on Fox News he had been invited to Laredo by "border patrols and they want to honor me."
Asked about the union's decision, a Trump spokeswoman said he was "still going." It was unclear how the the twist would affect Trump's original schedule, which had him flying into Laredo International Airport at 1 p.m. to hold a meet-and-greet with the union before heading to the border.
Later Thursday morning on Twitter, Trump said he still planned to make it to Laredo on time.
