Armed Mexican troops Detain American soldiers on US side of border
Quote:CLINT, Texas — Two US soldiers were questioned by Mexican troops earlier this month while conducting a surveillance operation on the US side of the southern border, two US defense officials tell CNN.

“On April 13, 2019, at approximately 2 p.m. CDT, five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations in an unmarked (Customs and Border Protection) vehicle near the southwest border in the vicinity of Clint, Texas,” US Northern Command told CNN in a statement.

“The US soldiers were appropriately in US territory” during the encounter, the statement added.

During the incident, the Mexican soldiers pointed their weapons at the US troops, removing a soldier’s sidearm and returning it to the unmarked US vehicle, the officials said.

The Mexican troops were armed with what appeared to be assault rifles, according to one official.

Officials said that the US soldiers allowed the weapon to be taken “in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation.”

“Throughout the incident, the US soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols,” Northern Command said.

The encounter took place south of the border fence in the area but north of the Rio Grande, the officials said.

Protocol SHOULD be that if a foreign army invades THIS country they should be given ONE chance to surrender. If they refuse or in this case "point their weapons" at US soldiers on US soil, they get SHOT.

One time and they'll learn their lesson.
