U.S. border agents detain Mexican troops Story Highlights Mexican troops make accidental incursion into U.S., border agents say Troops say they became disoriented while on patrol Troops were taken into custody, later returned to their commanding officer (CNN) -- Seven members of the Mexican military were found inside the United States on Friday, telling border agents they had become disoriented while on patrol and accidentally crossed into the country, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol said. The incident began about 8 a.m. Friday, when the Border Patrol's Yuma, Arizona, sector was notified that a military-style Hummer was broken down, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) said in a written statement. Agents said they found the vehicle about 200 yards from the Colorado River and the seven individuals were dressed in military-style clothing. The CBP later determined the troops' entry was unauthorized. CBP agents told the Mexican troops they were inside the United States and "peaceably" took them into custody, the statement said. "At no time were any hostilities exchanged between the agents and military officials." Watch how Mexican troops found their way in the United States � The Hummer was equipped with a turret-mounted machine gun, the Border Patrol told CNN. According to the CBP, the soldiers were assigned to the 23rd Regiment Motorized Cavalry of the Mexican Army. The soldiers said they believed they were still in Mexico because they remained on the south side of a newly constructed border fence. "The soldiers, weapons and vehicle were placed in Border Patrol custody and transported to the CBP San Luis, Arizona, Port of Entry, where each of the subjects was processed in accordance with Border Patrol policy," the statement said. None of the seven had any criminal or immigration history, the agency said. The soldiers, weapons and vehicle were repatriated and "remanded into the custody of their commanding officer," the Border Patrol said. The incident remains under investigation, however, and the CBP's Office of Internal Affairs was notified, the statement said. "This is not an uncommon occurrence," Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, told CNN. "Often times, it is the result of the Mexican military providing cover essentially for drug transportation across into our country, and/or creating a diversion so it will draw our people away from the place where the drugs are coming across." In August, the Border Patrol said Mexican troops had crossed the border illegally 42 times since October 2007. Tancredo said the U.S. State Department lodged a complaint with the Mexican government for the first time over the military incursions a few weeks ago. Attempts by CNN to contact the State Department and the Mexican government Friday were unsuccessful. CNN's Casey Wian contributed to this report. |

| Originally posted by jerZ07002 according to shibby: while no order may have been given directing mexican troops to enter the US, on 42 occasions Mexican troops (which are agents of the country) were physically located in the US without authority. Under an admittedly strained reading of his definition of 'open act of war,' it is conceivable that Mexico has conducted an open act of war against the US. Obviously the notion is ridiculous, but that is the intention. |
