FBI agents were “lawfully present” at a Dannenbaum Engineering Corp. building in McAllen on Wednesday.



FBI agents visited the Dannenbaum Engineering building at 1109 W. Nolana Ave. in McAllen on Wednesday morning.

Asked about the FBI presence at the building, spokeswoman Michelle Lee released a statement:

Per your request, I can confirm the FBI is lawfully present at the location you referenced (Nolana Loop in McAllen) conducting a law enforcement activity. While we can’t discuss the nature of the work we are doing, there is no public safety threat.

No arrests have been made. I can’t comment any further since it remains an ongoing matter.

A CBS 4 News crew observed several FBI agents taking boxes from the building and placing the boxes in a truck.

Dannenbaum Engineering couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

The Laredo Morning Times reported Wednesday that FBI agents had visited a Dannenbaum Engineering building in Laredo — along with Laredo City Hall, the city hall annex, the city public works department and the Webb County Courthouse.

“The front door to the Dannenbaum Engineering office had been removed by the FBI,” according to the Laredo Morning Times.
