Anamichelle Castellano said that she and another volunteer for her nonprofit group were stopped on Monday at a bridge crossing from Brownsville, Texas, to Matamoros, Mexico. Authorities discovered a small box of ammunition inside the vehicle that she was driving, she said, adding that it had been left there by her husband. While her husband drove into Matamoros without incident, an official told Castellano that her vehicle would require extra screening. That scan uncovered a small box of ammunition, which she described as about the size of the palm of a hand. “To tell me that I can’t go back, and give them their gifts and their needed supplies, I can’t risk that.”
