Luis Rodriguez Bucio took over on Aug. 1 as head of the Mexican Consulate in Dallas, which serves approximately 2.3 million Mexican nationals and their families across 82 counties in the area. He replaces Francisco de la Torre, who served as Consul General in North Texas for nine years.

President Trump, who has insisted Aug. 1 is a firm deadline for countries around the world, said that "the complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different from other Nations."

A car made in Texas might include engines from Saltillo and wiring systems from Chihuahua. Blueberries grown in Michoacán are processed in McAllen. Cattle raised in Coahuila are slaughtered and packed in Laredo.

After years of shortfalls, Mexico has agreed to expedited water deliveries to the U.S. under the 1944 Treaty.

Relief could be on the way for South Texas farmers facing a crippling water shortage. On Friday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the country would make “an immediate water delivery“ to Texas farmers.

The United States denied Mexico’s request for a special delivery of Colorado River water on Thursday, citing Mexico’s ongoing failure to meet its obligations under an 80-year-old water-sharing treaty between the two countries.

Reports of ICE activity in neighborhoods and continued talk from the federal government of mass deportations continue to cause fear and panic in immigrant communities. Everyday North Texans are stepping up to help however they can.

Trump postponed tariffs on Mexican goods once again last week. As Mexico's president celebrated the delay, some companies rushed to stockpile goods in warehouses along the border ahead of the new April 2nd deadline.

The Trump administration will delay tariffs on all products from Mexico under the USMCA trade treaty for almost one month to April 2, President Trump announced on Thursday.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he would pause his executive orders on the tariffs for one month after Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to reinforce its border so as to cut the flow of fentanyl and other drugs into the U.S. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum added that the deal also commits the Trump administration to fight the flow of weapons flowing south into Mexico.

With President Trump back in office, Mexico's President Sheinbaum braces for strained relations. U.S. public support for hardline policies targeting Mexico is on the rise, and looming energy reforms and trade negotiations add to the challenges.

Speaking at an immigration forum Wednesday night, Police Chief Daniel Scesney tried to quell fears over President-elect Donald Trump's promises of mass deportation beginning on Day 1 of his second term.
