Earlier this week, TPNN reported on a disturbing trend occurring at the U.S-Mexican border. There have been numerous instances of the Mexican Army crossing the border into the United States and firing on American citizens. Mexican official described these incidents as done by ‘rogue agents,’ but a recent event calls into question the truthfulness of that claim.

KVOA News 4 in Tucson reports that in the early morning hours on Thursday, a Mexican military helicopter crossed the border and fired upon U.S. Border Patrol Agents. This happened in an area where Arizona borders Mexico west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’Odham Nation.
Reportedly, after the helicopter fired upon the Border Patrol and returned, officials in Mexico contacted U.S. officials to apologize.
Border Patrol indicated that no one was injured during this direct attack on U.S. Border Patrol Agents by the Mexican Military.
The president of the Border Patrol Union in the Tucson Sector Local 2544, Art del Cueto, previously addressed this growing trend of the Mexican Army crossing into America and going into attack mode against American citizens and federal agents.
“I mean, it’s very nerve-wracking. A lot of these encounters happen in the middle of the night where, you know, the lighting is low and you don’t know who you’re encountering. You’re sitting there and seeing a group of guys coming up to you and they’re all carrying long-arms, you don’t know what you’re encountering.” Cueto continued saying, “When you see our own government putting more emphasis on the rights of individuals who are in this country illegally already instead of trying to help out the agents and seeing these intrusions and taking them seriously, it’s very frustrating.”
Meanwhile, as U.S. Border Patrol agents are contending with increased attacks by the Mexican Military on American soil, they are increasingly being taken away from their patrol job duties to babysit and tend to the tens of thousands of illegal alien children who are crossing the border into the United States.
