U.S. Border Patrol agents and suspected cartel gunmen exchanged gunfire at the southern border with Mexico.
Multiple law enforcement sources confirm that Border Patrol agents near Fronton, Texas were fired upon from Mexico by suspected cartel gunmen as a group of illegal aliens were being brought across the Rio Grande river.
Border Patrol returned fire. Nobody was hit on either side.
The illegal aliens did not make it across the border.
Mexico Staging Troops
I can also confirm via Texas Department of Public Safety Helicopter, that the Mexican government has begun STAGING TROOPS on the Mexican side of the Border.
It is not know yet if these troops are ordered to deter/prevent illegal aliens crossing into the United States, or if they are there in preparation for a possible move by United States troops into Mexico, to confront and destroy the drug cartels.
