DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Prototypes for wall to be built Companies will be given 30 days to complete border projects By Ron Nixon N EW YORK T I ME S NEWS S ERVICE
WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security took the first major step on Thursday toward building a barrier on the border with Mexico, a key campaign promise of President Donald Trump, as officials announced that they had awarded contracts to build several prototypes of a concrete wall. Four companies will build
the prototypes in the San Diego area, said officials at Customs and Border Protection, an agency within the department. The companies selected will each have 30 days to complete the projects after the agency gives them the order to proceed. “The border wall prototypes and designs will complement other tools we employ to secure our borders,” said Ronald D. Vitiello, acting deputy commissioner at Customs and Border Protection. Vitiello said that the proto-
types would be about 30 feet high and that the contracts were between $400,000 and $500,000 each. The department has reallocated $20 million from other programs to pay for the prototypes and related costs. Homeland Security officials said the prototypes would be added to the existing walls in the San Diego area and would allow the agency to evaluate which barriers are most effective in giving Border Patrol agents time to respond to re-
ports of illegal drugs and human smuggling. The awarding of the contracts for a border wall comes as the government assesses the damage from Hurricane Harvey, which has devastated parts of Texas. Some congressional critics have accused the administration and its Republican allies of proposing cutting billions in funding to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead department for disaster recovery, to pay for a border wall.
An array of Democrats and other critics have called the wall unnecessary. “It’s hard to understand the strategic value of this wall in terms of protecting U.S. citizens and illegal activity,” said Laura Peterson, an investigator with the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group, who was on the staff of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. “CBP didn’t seem to need it before Trump’s executive order.”
TEXAS FUEL OUTAGES
RUMORS CAUSE GAS SHORTAGES

Panicked drivers are reportedly responsible for gas pumps closing across the state By César G. Rodriguez TH E ZAPATA T IME S
Panic — not a fuel shortage — was responsible for long lines and outages at gas pumps in Laredo, Zapata and across the state this week, government officials and industry experts told the Dallas Morning News. Texas Railroad Commissioner Ryan Sitton said the shortage was caused by too many drivers trying to fill up at once. "This is a case of somewhat of a selffulfilling prophecy," he said Thursday in a news conference hosted by the Texas Tribune, according to the Dallas Morning News. "It's like a run on a bank out of ‘It's a Wonderful Life.’" The City of Laredo addressed the “gasoline panics” in a statement released late Thursday.
“Rumors on social media are primarily responsible for the recent public reaction, leading to long lines at local gasoline stations,” the statement reads. “We urge the public to verify their sources of information and call local authorities for more information.” Zapata The Zapata County Sheriff’s Office used its Facebook account Monday to address the supposed gas shortage. “We have spoken to the State about rumors of a fuel shortage in areas not affected by Hurricane Harvey. These are rumors, there is not going to be a shortage in fuel supplies,” the Sheriff’s Office said. “Panicked fuel buyers have left some stores without fuel temporarily, but fuel deliveries are still scheduled. There may be some increase in fuel prices, but these would also be tempo-
rary due to Harvey.” Sheriff’s officials said reminded the community to be safe on the road. “We have been working some instances of traffic congestion and traffic incidents due to these rumors. Please remember to drive safely and be cautious of panicked or inattentive drivers. Stay safe,” authorities said. Laredo Laredo police went live on Facebook on Thursday afternoon to address reports of a gas shortage. Investigator Joe E. Baeza, LPD spokesman, said there’s nothing to panic about because the rumors circulating on social are unfounded. He further stated people panicked and flocked to local gas stations, causing the lines to stretch out into the streets. There were also reports of
fights. Several cities across Texas reported similar issues. Baeza said patrol officers were out in the field mitigating the situation. “The only way we’re going to see a shortage of gas is if everybody in Laredo goes to the gas station and fills out. That’s obvious,” he said. Price gouging LPD also received reports of price gouging, with the cost of fuel increasing to $7 to $10 per gallon. On Thursday, four people filed police reports against a local Tejano Mart at 502 Lafayette St. for allegedly selling gas at $9.99 per gallon, according to police Baeza encouraged the community to report those businesses. He said gas prices are expected to increase but only by a few cents.
DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS
Leaders urge Trump not to terminate DACA By David Nakamura, David Weigel and Ed O’Keefe WA S H INGT ON P O ST
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other Republican leaders in Congress on Friday urged President Donald Trump not to terminate an Obama-era program that has allowed nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” to live and work in the country without fear of deportation. Ryan said in a radio interview
that it was up to Congress to determine the fate of the immigrants enrolled in Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which offers two-year work permits to those who have been in the country illegally since they were children. Asked if Trump should follow through on campaign pledges to end DACA, Ryan told WCLO in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin: “I actually don’t think he should do that. I believe that this is something that Congress has to fix.” Ryan acknowledged that
Republican lawmakers balked when Obama created the program through executive action in 2012, calling the move an unconstitutional use of his powers. But Ryan said the undocumented immigrants “are people who are in limbo. These are kids who know no other country, who were brought here by their parents and don’t know another home. And so I really do believe there that there needs to be a legislative solution.” The Trump administration is facing a Tuesday deadline to rescind DACA or face a lawsuit
from Texas and nine other states. The president has reportedly been split between competing advice from his advisers. Immigration hardliners, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, have said the program would lose in court while moderates, such as Chief of Staff John Kelly, have said terminating it would be a political liability. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, also said he had lobbied the president not to rescind the program. In a statement, Hatch said Congress must provide “a
workable, permanent solution for individuals who entered the country unlawfully as children through no fault of their own and who have built their lives here.” Meanwhile, a small number of congressional Republicans are pitching a “conservative Dream Act” as a fail-safe. But it’s far from clear that Republicans could wrangle the votes to pass that bill in the House or where it might fit in a crowded September session already thrown off by Hurricane Harvey.

People protest in front the Mexican congress during the first day of the second round of talks of the NAFTA in Mexico City, on Friday.
2ND ROUND OF NAFTA TALKS OPENS MEXICO CITY — A second round of NAFTA renegotiations began Friday with officials expressing optimism despite President Donald Trump’s suggestions he could withdraw the United States from the 23-year-old trade pact. Mexico has also said it won’t stay at the table if it doesn’t get a fair shake or if Washington triggers an exit clause, and the uncertainty has raised fears among businesspeople on both sides of the border that billions of dollars in trade and investment could be threatened. Delegations from the United States,
Mexico and Canada gathered at a Mexico City hotel for discussions on the North American Free Trade Agreement that Mexico’s Economy Department said would focus on issues such as rules-oforigin, electronic commerce, the environment and anti-corruption measures. On Wednesday, Trump said: “We’ve got to change this deal, and hopefully we can renegotiate it, but if we can’t we’ll terminate it and we’ll start all over again with a real deal.” — Compiled from AP reports

4 dead as Tropical Storm Lidia hits Mexico’s Baja California CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — Tropical Storm Lidia has caused four deaths in Mexico’s Los Cabos, officials said Friday as it continued to lash the resort-studded southern Baja California Peninsula with heavy rains. Arturo de la Rosa Escalante,
mayor of the twin resorts of Los Cabos, said two people were electrocuted by power lines, a woman drowned after being swept away by water on a flooded street and a baby was ripped from its mother’s arms as she crossed a flooded area. About 1,400 people sought refuge at storm shelters. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lidia made landfall early Friday west of La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur state. Lidia’s wind strength eased slightly to 60 mph, and
further weakening was forecast over the next few days as the storm reaches mountainous terrain. The storm was centered about 65 miles westnorthwest of La Paz and was heading northwest at about 9 mph. The center said Lidia could produce accumulations of as much as 6 to 12 inches of rain across much of Baja California and parts of the mainland, threatening flash floods and landslides. — Compiled from AP reports
AROUND TEXAS Businesses become storm shelters in Texas HOUSTON — Of all the places that have been turned into shelters for Hurricane Harvey victims — a megachurch, a ballpark, a gas station, a bowling alley, among them — the one with the most comfortable sleeping arrangements surely must be the Gallery Furniture showroom. Owner Jim McIngvale, better known as Mattress Mack, threw open a couple of his stores to anyone in need, offering food, clean bathrooms and, of course, luxury bedding. “If this is what you call a shelter, I might not want to go home,” said 47-year-old India Jackson, who marveled at the silky pillowcases, the $1,000 mattresses and the atrium with its live ocelot and colorful macaws. With more than 17,000 people flooded out of their houses,

big-hearted Texans, religious institutions and businesses have turned their places into unlikely shelters, giving soaked, frightened and disconsolate storm refugees a safe and warm place to sleep. Some of these places have proved a homier alternative to the convention centers that have taken in more than 10,000.

NFL: GOODELL AWARE OF DISSENT Last-minute deal BEFORE SUSPENDING ELLIOTT sends Verlander By Schuyler Dixon A S S OCIAT E D PRE SS
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was aware that one of his lead investigators believed Ezekiel Elliott shouldn’t be disciplined before the Dallas running back was suspended for six games in a domestic violence case, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday. McCarthy disputed a key claim in a lawsuit filed by the players’ union on behalf of Elliott seeking to vacate an upcoming ruling on an appeal. McCarthy says Goodell knew of investigator Kia Roberts’ contention that Elliott’s accuser wasn’t credible before deciding to suspend Elliott. “That Kia Roberts’ information was not provided to others, that’s categorically false,” McCarthy said. “Her views were represented. The commissioner was aware of her views, aware of many other people’s views.” Elliott, the NFL’s 2016 rushing leader as a rookie, was suspended after the league concluded he used physical force last summer against Tiffany Thompson, his girlfriend at the time. Arbitrator Harold Henderson, appointed by Goodell, is expected to rule on Elliott’s appeal
Brad Loper / Fort Worth Star Telegram file
Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott is planning a lawsuit against the NFL after his six-game suspension for domestic violence despite no criminal charges ever being filed against him.
soon. Attorneys for the 22-year-old and the players’ union said in a request for a temporary restraining order filed Friday that they believe Henderson will reject the appeal. If Henderson affirms any part of the suspension, Elliott will need U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant to grant the restraining order to be eligible for the opener Sept. 10 against the New York Giants. The first hearing is set for Tuesday in Sherman, Texas, about 65 miles north of Dallas. Prosecutors in Columbus, Ohio, where Elliott
starred for Ohio State, cited conflicting evident in not pursuing the case, but the NFL investigated for more than a year. According to the letter Elliott received informing him of the suspension three weeks ago, the NFL believed he used “physical force” three times in a span of five days in an apartment in July 2016, resulting in injuries to Thompson’s face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, wrists, hips and knees. Elliott denied Thompson’s allegations under oath in an appeal hearing that spanned three days. The hearing ended
Thursday, about 12 hours before the lawsuit was filed. The lawsuit says the NFL’s appeals process is “fundamentally unfair” because Henderson denied a request by Elliott’s representatives to have Thompson testify. The suit accuses NFL special counsel Lisa Friel of withholding information from Goodell and four experts who advised the commissioner before his ruling, and says Henderson erred in not compelling Goodell to testify at the appeal. “Not only did the underlying facts not support the false allegations made against Mr. Elliott, but the process in which they were gathered and adjudicated were fundamentally unfair,” Elliott attorney Frank Salzano said Friday. Similar arguments were made in the request for a restraining order. “Although the court need not act until ... (Henderson’s ruling) is issued, Elliott and the NFLPA will demonstrate now that they readily satisfy the requirements for preliminary injunctive relief should Elliott’s appeal be denied,” the filing said. McCarthy said the league was “very confident” in its investigation.
to Houston By Kristie Rieken ASSOCIATED PRE SS
HOUSTON — When Houston manager A.J. Hinch called to welcome Justin Verlander to the team, the pitcher’s first question was when he’d make his debut for the Astros. The answer is Tuesday at Seattle after the Astros orchestrated a last-minute deal with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night to acquire the right-hander and bolster their rotation as they eye a deep playoff run in October. The trade gives the American League West leaders a powerful 1-2-3 punch at the top of their rotation with 2015 Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers pairing with Verlander, who won the AL Cy Young and MVP awards in 2011. The six-time All Star is a playoff veteran having appeared in the postseason five times. He is 7-5 with a 3.39 ERA and 112 strikeouts in 16 career starts in the playoffs. The 34-year-old Verlander is 10-8 with a 3.82 ERA in 28 starts this season. The Tigers got
minor league prospects outfielder Daz Cameron, right-hander Franklin Perez and catcher Jake Rogers as well as a player to be named later or cash in the deal. Detroit also agreed to pay $17,355,191 to Houston, offsetting a portion of the $60,743,169 remaining Verlander’s contract, which calls for a $28 million annual salary. The Tigers give Houston $1,355,191 on Oct. 15 this year and $8 million on June 15 each year in 2018 and 2019. The Tigers drafted Verlander in 2004 with the No. 2 overall pick. He won Rookie of the Year honors in 2006, when Detroit came out of nowhere to win the American League pennant. He led the AL with 19 wins in 2009, but his finest season came in 2011, when he went 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA. He also threw his second career no-hitter that season and led the Tigers to their first of four consecutive AL Central titles. Verlander has been great lately after starting the season slower than usual, going 4-1 with a 2.36 ERA in six starts in August.

I’m beating my smartphone addiction By Leonid Bershidsky BL O O M BE RG
Most of the research on phone addiction and deprivation is done on students. It’s not just the “kids these days,” though. At 45, I’m a recovering addict. It’s been four months since I uninstalled social networking apps, three months since I last posted on Facebook, and two months since I turned off all notifications on my smartphone. Before I started the detox program, I checked my phone about five times an hour. That’s about half as often as the average millennial but about three times as often as most people of my generation in the U.S. Now, I’m down to once an hour. I think I got hooked because of my job. In the U.S., much of the highlevel political debate occurs on Twitter thanks in no small part to its tweeter in chief. I told myself that maintaining accounts on every social network was necessary for work, but that was absurd: most of these posts and videos were useless to me as a journalist. I was submerged in the cozy haze of smartphone addiction, and it’s hard to say how it differed from substance abuse. “Comfort kills, discomfort creates,” wrote Jean Cocteau in his personal account of opium detoxication. So, like someone trying to wean himself off a substance, I started experimenting with discomfort. That’s when I lost the Facebook and Twitter apps, which were eating up most of my screen time. I figured that out from battery use statistics. At first, I felt such acute deprivation that I had to open Facebook and Twitter in a browser. That was less convenient, and my phone use dropped a little, but I wasn’t able to completely swear off Facebook for a few more weeks. FOMO — the fear of missing out — ruined several mornings; I reverted to peeking for a couple of days, then forced myself to stop. As Cocteau wrote, “I am not a detoxicated person proud of his effort. I am ashamed of having been chased out of this supernatural world after which health resembled a bad movie in which ministers inaugurate a statue.” After having kicked opium, Cocteau still had alcohol and cocaine. I kept updating and reading Twitter, although I gradually cut down on arguing with people on it -- that had been timeconsuming and sometimes emotionally draining. Now, I’m down to 30 minutes of Twitter a day: That’s enough for work. We touch our smart-
phones more than 2,500 times a day. That’s probably 100 times more often than we touch our partner. The reason we do it is that the phone constantly demands attention by sending us notifications. It does so every time someone wants to connect with us, every time something changes in an app, every time an artificially intelligent entity decides we need information. Notifications have a barely veiled commercial purpose: Once we start playing with the phone, we’re likely to open more apps, see more ads, buy more stuff. It’s relatively easy to retake control; I went into my phone’s settings and banned every one of the 112 apps from sending notifications. Now, I only check my personal and corporate email accounts, as well as two messenger apps, when I want to, not when my device wants me to. That means my friends must wait longer than they used to for a response. They haven’t noticed — or at least they haven’t commented on it. We overestimate the need for immediacy in communication; perhaps our kids don’t because they live their addiction to a greater extent than we do, but an adult finds it easy to wait for a response. Recovering addicts know it’s impossible to be perfectly clean: Even if you don’t use your favorite substance, you miss it. At the end of his opium essay, Cocteau wrote wistfully that perhaps “the young” might someday discover “a regime that would allow one to keep the benefits of the poppy” without getting addicted. That remains impossible for drugs but maybe not for smartphones. After reasserting control over my digital life, I’m nearly ready to take further steps. My next goal is to be able to use it as an electronic book reader without ever switching from the Kindle app to the browser or the email and messenger apps. I expect a boost in reading speed, another way to battle my FOMO. A forced experiment during a two-week holiday in the south of France without high-speed internet produced hopeful results. As I stood in a chapel Cocteau designed in the hills above Frejus, I felt healthier, able to breathe easier, almost capable of relearning how to lose myself in the company of my beloved wife and children, who are, of course, fighting their own battles with gadget addiction. Perhaps our lives can be a little more like their pre-iPhone versions. If Cocteau could kick his habit, so can we.
COMMENTARY
No, Trump does not lack authority to protect ‘dreamers’ By Andrew Pincus WASHINGTON P O ST
Does the president have legal authority to protect “dreamers” — the nearly 800,000 undocumented individuals who were brought to the United States as young children, grew up here and have been vetted extensively, temporarily excluded from deportation and allowed to contribute to society by working legally, buying homes and paying taxes? Newt Gingrich said on Wednesday that White House aides who oppose protecting dreamers on policy grounds are using legal arguments as an “excuse” to pressure the president. Gingrich is right. The Justice Department and White House counsel’s office are the principal guardians of executive branch power. If these entities are saying that dreamers can’t be protected, as has been reported, they are violating that responsibility. Granting “deferrals of removal” or “deferred action” — a determination by the federal government that it will not seek to remove an individual from the United States — has been an established practice for more than 50 years, under both Republican and Democratic administrations. That exercise of prosecutorial discretion rests on the president’s constitutional authority to execute the laws and has been expressly recognized by the Supreme Court. Also, the immigration laws specifically charge the secretary of Homeland Security with “establishing national immigration enforcement policies
and priorities.” Deferral of removal is just that: determining that certain people should not be priorities for enforcement because others — criminals, for example — should be the targets for limited federal resources. Focusing enforcement resources on dangerous individuals protects everyone in the United States and promotes the rule of law. Congress has recognized the legitimacy of “deferred action” status in a variety of statutes. An individual who obtains deferred action gets an official Department of Homeland Security document, a “notice of decision,” stating that the government has decided that he or she is not subject to removal for the specified period. The government has the right to revoke that determination, but the decision is binding as long as it remains in effect. For 50 years it has been the practice of federal immigration authorities to authorize individuals granted deferred action to work lawfully. It is an unavoidable fact that these people may need a way to support themselves while they are permitted to remain in the United States. Otherwise they might be forced to work illegally. The Reagan administration’s Justice Department formalized this practice, promulgating a regulation allowing undocumented individuals with deferred action to apply for and obtain authorization to work based on a showing of economic need. Congress then endorsed that regulation when it enacted a law barring the hiring of unauthorized immigrants
but explicitly excluded from that category individuals authorized to work by the attorney general. That is the regulation under which a dreamer can apply for and, if eligible, obtain work authorization based on deferred action status. Those arguing dreamers can’t lawfully be protected may be relying on a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit invalidating the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program. But DAPA was a very different program. There was no dispute in the DAPA litigation over the power to grant deferred action. Rather, the focus of debate was the statement in the DHS document establishing the DAPA program that “for a specified period of time, an individual [covered by DAPA] is permitted to be lawfully present in the United States.” The lawsuit argued, and the court held, that the Obama administration lacked any legal authority to grant the right “to be lawfully present.” The DHS memorandum covering dreamers never uses the phrase “lawfully present” and does not grant a right “to be lawfully present in the United States.” It simply exercises “prosecutorial discretion” with respect to removal prioritization the legal basis for the granting of deferred action. And the memorandum states that federal agencies “shall accept applications to determine whether these individuals qualify for work authorization during this period of deferred action” without requiring any

specific determination with respect to those applications. The argument made in the DAPA case - that the memorandum there granted something more - is inapplicable to dreamers. Dreamers also less are than one-fifth of about 4 million people who would have been covered by DAPA. The large size of the DAPA group was a significant factor in the 5th Circuit’s ruling. The number of protected dreamers is much closer to the scope of the George H.W. Bush administration’s “Family Fairness” program - a deferred action/work authorization initiative that was anticipated to cover approximately 1 million people. Finally, the substantive and procedural restrictions on executive branch authority that the 5th Circuit applied to DAPA are the very restrictions that the Trump administration is opposing in its defense of the travel ban executive order and other executive actions. How could the Justice Department agree that the president lacks authority with respect to dreamers but has broad authority in every other immigration context? Asserting that dreamers can’t be protected will weaken the executive branch across the board. Trump has the legal authority to protect dreamers. Those who want to stop protecting them can’t hide behind the law; they have to justify their position on policy grounds. But destroying the lives of nearly 800,000 people who voluntarily came forward to become productive members of society is an indefensible policy.

Compras de pánico Rumores provocan escasez de gas y largas líneas Por César G. Rodríguez TIEMP O DE ZAPATA
El pánico —no la escasez de combustible— fue el responsable de largas líneas y los cortes en las bombas de gas en Laredo, Zapata y en el estado esta semana, dijeron funcionarios gubernamentales y personalidades de la industria al periódico Dallas Morning News. El Comisionado de Ferrocarriles de Texas, Ryan Sitton, dijo que la escasez fue causada por muchos conductores tratando de llenar su tanque al mismo tiempo. “Esto es un caso de algo como una auto profecía cumplida”, dijo el jueves en una conferencia de prensa organizada por Texas Tribune, de acuerdo a Dallas Morning News. La Ciudad de Laredo abordó el tema del “pánico por la gasolina” con una comunicado dado a conocer el jueves por la noche. “Los rumores en los medios sociales son los principales responsables por la reciente reacción del público, que llevó a lar-
gas líneas en las estaciones de gasolina locales”, se establece en el comunicado. “Urgimos al público a verificar sus fuentes de información y llamar a las autoridades locales para mayor información”. Zapata La Oficina del Alguacil del Condado de Zapata utilizó su cuenta de Facebook el lunes para abordar la supuesta falta de combustible. “Hemos hablado con el estado acerca de rumores sobre una falta de combustible en áreas que no son afectadas por el Huracán Harvey. Estos son rumores, no va a haber una escasez en el abastecimiento de combustible”, dijo la Oficina del Alguacil. “Compradores de pánico de combustible han dejado algunas tiendas sin combustible temporalmente, pero las entregas de combustible siguen programadas. Puede haber un incremento en precios de gas, pero esto también es debido al Huracán Harvey. Oficiales del alguacil dijeron

Ciudad Victoria, México— El gobernador de Tamaulipas, México, Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca presidió la integración del Consejo Estatal de Seguridad Pública, en el que participan autoridades federales, mandos de las Fuerzas Armadas, estado, municipios e integrantes de las mesas de Seguridad y Justicia de la entidad. Durante la primera sesión ordinaria del Consejo se aprobó la emisión de los lineamientos para un mecanismo de notificación a la población sobre situaciones de riesgo en sus localidades, por parte del Centro de Comando, Control, Comunicaciones y Cómputo (C-4) del Secretariado Ejecutivo del Sistema Estatal de Seguridad Pública. Las alertas por situación de riesgo son notificaciones que para tal efecto únicamente emitirá C-4, a través de la página oficial del Secretario Ejecutivo del Sistema Estatal de Seguridad Pública (SESESP) y las redes sociales del Gobierno del Estado. Sus lineamientos serán votados por los inte-
que recordaban a la comunidad mantenerse seguros en las carreteras. “Hemos estado trabajando algunos casos de congestión en el tráfico e incidentes de tráfico debido a estos rumores. Por favor recuerde manejar de forma segura y tenga cuidado con conductores en pánico o no atentos. Permanezca seguro”, dijeron las autoridades. Laredo La policía de Laredo (LPD por sus siglas en inglés) habló en vivo en su cuenta de Facebook el jueves por la tarde para abordar reportes de falta de combustible. El investigador Joe E. Baeza, vocero de LPD, dijo que no hay por qué entrar en pánico ya que los rumores que circulan en redes sociales son infundados. Además declaró que la gente entró en pánico y abarrotó las estaciones de gas locales, causando que las líneas llegaran a las calles. Hubo también reportes de peleas. Varias ciudades en todo Texas reportaron problemas
similares. Baeza dijo que los oficiales patrullaban las calles para mitigar la situación. “La única forma en la que veremos escasez de combustibles es si todo Laredo va a las estaciones de gas y llena su tanque. Eso es obvio”, dijo. Incremento de precios LPD también recibió reportes de aumento de precios, con el costo del combustible subiendo hasta 7 y 10 dólares por galón. El jueves, cuatro personas presentaron reportes policíacos en contra de la tienda Tejano Mart en 502 Lafayette St. por supuestamente vender la gasolina a 9.99 por galón, de acuerdo a la policía. Baeza exhortó a la comunidad a reportar estos negocios. Dijo que se espera que los precios del gas se incremeten pero solo por unos cuantos centavos. Para reportar un fraude, llame a la Línea de Protección del Consumidor al 1-800-621-0508 o escriba a consumeremergency@oag.texas.gov.

grantes del Consejo en una próxima sesión a celebrarse en dos semanas. Las alertas se emitirán bajo un contexto estandarizado que permitirá homologar los criterios de calificación y cuantificación de amenazas, peligros de vulnerabilidad, para brindar certeza a la población, a través de información oportuna de las actividades de riesgo que se susciten; habrá un protocolo establecido y la responsabilidad de las autoridades involucradas en contribuir con dichas alertas. Al respecto, el titular el gobernador señaló que la importancia de esta herramienta radica en la necesidad de evitar confusión entre la población con falsos reportes de actos delictivos, y limitar las alertas a las localidades donde tienen lugar estos hechos, evitando alarmar al resto de la ciudad o al estado en su conjunto. En la reunión de trabajo también se aprobó la actualización del Reglamento del Consejo Estatal de Seguridad Pública, modificación tendiente a fortalecer la participación de los municipios en la emisión de alertas por situación de riesgo.
