Brownsville, TX – A coordinated raid by Brownsville Police Department (BPD) and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) early Sunday morning led to the arrest of seven individuals, including the owner and an employee of the Palace Nightclub. The raid took place at the nightclub, located on the 1600 block of Ruben M Torres Boulevard, and uncovered multiple city ordinance violations and illegal activities.

Impact on the Community
