· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Brownsville family claims the city constructed a road on their private property without consent, continuing work even after they requested it to stop. The road, located behind Mexico Boulevard near the border, has sparked a dispute between the family and the city. Gustavo De Leon, a city commissioner and property executor, reported discovering city crews on the land on May 4, 2026. He filed a police report and sent a cease-and-desist letter, but work continued for three days. The family, which has owned the land for over 90 years, seeks restoration of the property and removal of the materials left behind.
