• Vulcan Materials, a U.S.-based construction firm, says that armed Mexican forces took over its marine terminal in southeast Mexico.
• Former Trump intelligence official Cliff Sims tweeted a video Saturday of the alleged illegal seizure earlier this month.
• “This is insane,” he wrote in the post, which shows Mexican military officials, police officers and others entering the facility.
• In a letter Thursday to Esteban Moctezuma, Mexico’s ambassador to the U.S., Vulcan Chairman and CEO J. Thomas Hill said the seizure that occurred early in the morning of March 14 was “illegal.”
• He said the Mexican company CEMEX joined with government forces to enter Vulcan’s private property, which they “continue to illegally occupy.”
