Authorities in Mexico raided a hotel used as a front to hide a cartel surveillance center in a border city known as a “safe” tourist hotspot near the Texas border.

Investigators tracked the vehicle to a hotel in Nuevo Progreso, a city frequented by U.S. tourists seeking low-priced medicines and liquor. Each week, thousands of Texas residents and other visitors cross into Nuevo Progreso, where the small city hosts dozens of low-priced pharmacies, doctors’ offices, dental offices, restaurants, and bars. Historically, the town has been protected from violence since the Gulf Cartel profits from the illicit trade of counterfeit drugs and from charging protection money from local businesses.
