The latest incident concerns an incursion by armed Mexican Federal Police yesterday morning.
“U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said armed officers with Mexico’s Secretaria de Seguridad Publica federal police were in the incursion, which took place in El Paso, near the Border Patrol’s Ysleta station,” reports ABC 7 News.
“An ABC-7 viewer contacted the station early Thursday, saying her son, husband and friends were hunting on the Rio Grande levy on the U.S. side when men on the Mexico side fired shots, narrowly missing them. She said more men on the Mexico side drove up with automatic weapons and into to U.S. side. She said the armed men fired weapons and stole hunters’ chairs and drove back into Mexico.”
When Border Patrol agents and Texas Parks and Wildlife officers arrived at the scene, the men fled and returned to Mexico.
Mexican troops as well as armed police have been routinely caught entering U.S. soil and firing on U.S. border patrol agents as well as civilian border patrol groups.
In December 2003, Jack Foote, national spokesman for property protection group Ranch Rescue, told NewsMax how “two armed Mexican soldiers wearing green combat fatigues and Kevlar helmets” violated U.S. territory before opening fire on a position only moments after it was vacated by the border group.
