US Border Patrol agents briefly detain 14 Mexican soldiers after they claim to have unintentionally crossed border into Texas
2021-09-26
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Fourteen Mexican army soldiers were briefly detained and then returned to Mexico after they crossed into the U.S. at a border bridge in El Paso, Texas

  • Two Mexican military vehicles crossed the bridge that links El Paso to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in the early hours of Saturday

  • Soldiers, their weapons and equipment 'were secured for safety and processing,' and noted the soldiers said 'they did not realize they had entered the U.S.'

  • One of the Mexican soldiers 'was assessed a civil penalty after CBP officers discovered a personal use amount of marijuana in his possession'

  • All 14 soldiers, their equipment and vehicles were returned to Mexico a few hours later after Mexican army officers came for them

  • Inadvertent crossings of the border by Mexican military forces have occurred in the past, but usually in areas where the border is not clearly marked

I'm putting my chips on that square. The "soldiers got lost crossing a bridge" story is a bit too thin.

#9  We are so used to letting the government lie obviously that even a whopper like this seems to just float on by. Mexican Army solider drove across the bridge on the border but "did not not know where they were". I have been to that bridge and find this loaf of codswallop insulted even for the stupid morons in our media. Even a room temperature IQ would know it, and I'm talking a really cold room in Minnesota...

#8  #6 yep. They'll blame it on Trump & the Deplorable Elements.

All the elements of the coup are in place and have been tested thoroughly since 2017. Fired up & ready to go.

Very likely. Salena Zito's on the case, interviewing the Republican Rep. Gonzalez from the border district:

Gonzales said he asked the chief of Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz, at a Homeland Security Committee hearing about its surge of agents to Del Rio. “Those agents are coming from somewhere," he said. "And my worry is other sectors are going to be weakened, thus creating a national security crisis, putting us at risk in other sectors, because everyone is focusing on Del Rio. ...

“Today, we're talking about Del Rio, but tomorrow, it'll be Laredo or Brownsville or Eagle Pass or El Paso. This problem is not going away.”

#6  /\ The long awaited national and political crisis which will require the 'official' setting aside of the Constitution, elections, local law enforcement, and the courts. Those suspected of criminal activity will be detained in FEMA detention centers much like the centers in D.C. now housing insurrectionists.

The Chinese ethnic Uyghur solution coming to a FEMA district near you.

Remember, they "are the ones with the guns" and they are in charge.

#5  ^ prediction: the next 911 will be perpetrated by Plugs's Border-Crossers.

Might make the first 911 look like child's play.

#2  It was Friday night and they just thought they would, you know, wander around for a while.
At least it managed to close the crossing from Juarez to El Paso for a few hours.
