The seizure of an American company's quarry facility in Mexico by the
Mexican military and local state police has sparked outrage among former
and current government officials, as well as appeals for the Biden
administration and the Mexico's U.S. ambassador to intervene.

According to Vulcan Materials, a Birmingham, Alabama-based company and the
largest producer of construction aggregates in the U.S., members of the
Mexican navy, local state police, along with federal investigators,
entered the quarry just south of Playa del Carmen in Mexico's Quintana Roo
state on the night of March 14. They then forced the company to allow
CEMEX, a Mexican-owned materials company, to unload a shipment of cement
from a ship in the port.

Vulcan previously leased land to and provided offloading and handling
services for CEMEX at the site, but the agreement expired last December
and talks for a renegotiated contract broke down. The company said CEMEX
completed unloading the forced shipment on Friday. However, the military
and police have remained in control of the property and have given no
indication they plan to leave, the company said.

"I am writing to request that your government immediately order its forces
and officials to leave our private property," Vulcan Chairman and CEO J.
Thomas Hill wrote in a letter to Mexican Ambassador Esteban Moctezuma
Barrag�n on Thursday, two days following the initial seizure.

"The government's participation in this gross violation of our property
rights is yet another example of the government's arbitrary and illegal
treatment of Vulcan and its investments in Mexico. This occupation must
cease immediately," he added.

Vulcan has been in tension with Mexico for months after Mexican President
Andr�s Manuel L�pez Obrador forced a shutdown of the quarry's operations
in May 2022. Lopez Obrador accused the company of trying to extract
minerals from Mexico without the required permits and ship them to the
U.S.

The government suspended Vulcan's customs permits on May 13, just days
after shutting down the quarry, which the company says has put a strain on
its ability to provide the stone construction aggregates to construct
roads, bridges and other infrastructure in the U.S., and it has prompted
lawmakers to request the Biden administration take swift action.

The quarry has remained closed amid legal proceedings in the Mexican
courts, although Biden administration officials have been working with the
Mexican government to find a solution, the company said.

Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., a ranking member on the Senate Homeland Security
Appropriations subcommittee, told Fox News Digital that she discussed the
tensions between Vulcan and the Mexican government with Mexico Secretary
of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard while on an official trip to Mexico City
last month. She told Fox that the Mexican government needed to focus more
on going after the cartels endangering Mexican citizens and the millions
of tourists who visit the country each year.

Fuck Mexico. Start shooting the bastards.
