It's Brownsville-RGV. Local government there is some of the worst nationally. The FBI has been running a massive anti-corruption operation there for over a decade now that has found corruption from the Mayor to the Counth DA all the way to one of their Congressmen [0][1][2].

It's sad because the people there are hardworking, but because a large portion of the RGV's population is undocumented or an immigrant and is littered with fiefdoms and multi-generational political families, it has remained very poor despite having a decent port and oil economy
