The Mexican military and local state police have seized an American company's quarry facility in Mexico, sparking outrage among former and current government officials. Vulcan Materials, the largest producer of construction aggregates in the US, said the military and police forced the company to allow CEMEX, a Mexican-owned materials company, to unload a shipment of cement from a ship in the port. Vulcan has been in tension with Mexico for months after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador forced a shutdown of the quarry's operations in May 2022.
