The torching comes at a time when truckers and politicians on both sides of the border oppose additional vehicle inspections ordered by Governor Greg Abbott.<\/p>\n<p>The case took place on Wednesday afternoon in Reynosa, near the Pharr International Port of Entry. The Tamaulipas government disclosed that a group of men riding in SUVs set fire to three tractor-trailers waiting at the port. State police forces were able to track the men using surveillance cameras. Authorities managed to arrest three men suspected of being part of the Reynosa faction of the Gulf Cartel and seized two vehicles. It remains unclear if more gunmen took part. Inside one of the vehicles, authorities found a container of gasoline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The three men are in police custody undergoing questioning.
