Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.

This story does not pass the smell test with me.
Too far loony tunes, all “unnamed sources,” etc.
I talked to some old network friends in Dallas. They say it’s BS.
I just has a current very fictional ring to it to me, along with some prior but well known facts.
“In what could be deemed an act of war against the sovereign borders of the United States, Mexican drug cartels have seized control of at least two American ranches inside the U.S. territory near Laredo, Texas.
Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Word broke late last night that Laredo police have requested help from the federal government regarding the incursion by the Los Zetas. It appears that the ranch owners have escaped without incident but their ranches remain in the hands of the blood thirsty cartels.
Laredo Border Patrol is conducting aerial surveillance over the ranches to determine the best way to regain control of the U.S. ranches, according to the Laredo Police department.
The approximate location of the U.S. ranches are10 miles northwest of I-35 off Mines Road and Minerales Annex Road. Just off 1472 (Mines road) near Santa Isabel Creek south of the city of Laredo, Texas.
The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers. The group was once part of the Gulf cartel, but has since splintered and now directly competes with the Gulf cartel for premium drug smuggling routes in the Texas region.
The new leader of Los Zetas is Heriberto “El Lazca” Lazcano and is considered the most violent paramilitary group in Mexico by the DEA.
Recently the drug organization has kidnapped tourists, infiltrated local municipalities and continues to smuggle narcotics into a very hungry U.S. market.
The violence south of the border continues to spin out of control and has left Nuevo Laredo, Mexico on virtual lockdown with businesses refusing to open the doors. Last week a particularly violent attack by the Los Zetas included the use of grenades and resulted in a dozen deaths and 21 injuries.
The hostile takeover of the ranches has met with silence with local and national media; however sources say they could be waiting to report the stories once the ranches are back in U.S. control. This journalist questions if this was a Middle Eastern terrorist attack if the media would sit on their hands.
Stay tuned for updates reports throughout the weekend
The FBI is advising law enforcement officers across the country that a Texas cell of Los Zetas — an increasingly powerful arm of the Mexican Gulf Cartel drug trafficking syndicate — has acquired a secluded ranch where it trains its members to “neutralize” competitors in the United States.
In order to ensure its share of the lucrative illegal drug trade, the cartel’s members reportedly are operating north of the border to collect debts and spy on competitors. They have also protected cocaine and heroin shipments that were bound for Houston, where they were repackaged and shipped on to Alabama, Delaware, Georgia and Michigan, according to the FBI.
The information, which was disseminated
HOAX HOAX HOAX? DARN DARN DARN!
First I could find ...
Thought we had a good call to action
Its just a matter of time
Quite right.
Our government will ignore barbaric Muslims, Mexican drug cartels, tens of millions of illegal aliens, . . .
It did not ignore a hundred Christians at Waco who only wished to be left alone.
More bogus crap from the examiner...
Are we really sure this ain’t BS to make everyone look stupid?
They're getting ready to spin it to:
"A group of Mexican businessmen in the pharmaceutical industry got lost on their way back from church and accidentally ended up on two ranches near Laredo".
"Nothing to see here folks....move on!"
What would Reagan do?
Santa Isabel Creek is west of Laredo, not south. All of the coverage of this story that I’ve been able to run down traces back to a Minuteman press release last night. The actual Laredo PD spokesman denies it happened, and attributes it to confusion over the shootout in Nuevo Laredo yesterday.
If only they were militias or Branch Dividians then maybe the ATF would storm in there like SEAL team 6 and burn them all to the ground.
Because they are probably “undocumented workers” doing jobs American’s won’t do (like smuggling narcotics)we’ll have to tread carefully here.
1. Illegals coming over the border are member of the drug cartels.
2. Washington DC if not at the top is near the top of cities using drugs.
Therefore Washington DC doesn't want anyone interfering with their supply of drugs.
Same answer...because they can.
No one in an official capacity has the nerve to stop this whether the insanity comes from the feds or the cartels. Those in charge of federal responsibilities know damn well where the money goes.
This will continue until “someone” gets fed up or good citizens take back what is theirs.
As always - follow the money. There is too much money involved in drug induced economies of scale to provide any incentives at official levels to end this.
So far, the pain of failure has not been applied to these invaders from south of the border nor the enablers from north of said border....
Since the sources promoting this rumor are blogs, it might be appropriate to consider a response from one.
“No, Texas isn’t being invaded”

None of the above discriminate in any way. Equal Opportunity negotiation all the way.
“Word broke late last night that Laredo police have requested help from the federal government regarding the incursion...”
Well, that’s their first mistake!
“The hostile takeover of the ranches has met with silence with local and national media; however sources say they could be waiting to report the stories once the ranches are back in U.S. control. This journalist questions if this was a Middle Eastern terrorist attack if the media would sit on their hands.”
Well, where do we start?
...met with silence with local and national media
(What a surprise!)
...they could be waiting to report...once the ranches are back in U.S. control.
(Yea, right! No, they’re waiting for the invaders to get their a$$e$ kicked so they can report on how the U.S. jumped the gun, went too far, killed a bunch of poor people who were just looking for work.)
...This journalist questions if this was a Middle Eastern terrorist attack if the media would sit on their hands.
(Short answer, YES!)
Air Strike DITTOS!
