... The ranches are said to be "near Mines Rd. and Minerales Rd. about 10 miles NW of I-35".
Whether it is lone members or squads is not certain.
Anonymous sources in law enforcement in the Laredo area tonight have passed on word that US law enforcement agencies are in the area and are weighing their options regarding the ranches. The media has been silent on this incident and some law enforcement in the area says that they are furious that the media is not reporting the whole story of the continued violence along the border. Their frustrations are understandable because keeping the truth suppressed continues to hamper law enforcement from receiving the true support they need along the border.
The ranch assaults come on the heals of attacks in Nuevo Laredo that shut the city down as a gun-battle raged in the streets. Los Zetas blocked off intersections with vehicles and used fragmentation grenades to attack Mexican law enforcement. In the end 12 were killed and 21 injured in the assaults. Citizens in the area were told to stay in their homes and bullets whizzed all around. ...

Anyone know if any of the authorities down there, local PD, sheriff’s dept, Feebies. US marshalls, anyone has gone on the record to corfirm or deny that this is taking place?
“So she was off by about 20%. Southern Oregon is about that far from the border. PDX is about 1100 miles, which is smack-dab in the middle of the “Pacific Northwest”.
But...I haven’t heard of this claim either, so I’m curious to see some corroboration as well. “

Southern Oregon and Northern California are both part of ‘The Pacific NW. Several of these plantations have grown within 10 miles of my home. There are Mexican cartel grows in Colorado and other states as well.
The facts are there

and anyone who doesn’t know about what’s going on in the forests and parks hasn’t been paying attention. What sort of ‘corroboration’ do you need...I gave you photos and MULTIPLE sources....google it...theres MUCH more.
I don’t know. I’m going on the two links upthread, and stuff on Google...
LOL! And maybe one of illegals would get Lon and make me really happy.
” 800 miles from the flippin’ border!
I’m in southeast/central Washington State and am 817 miles from the Arizona stateline. Is that what you meant? lol

Exactly which forests and parks are those? “

Well, “taken over” is ridiculous hyperbole at this stage of the game and I hope it stays that way.

“Well, “taken over” is ridiculous hyperbole at this stage of the game and I hope it stays that way.”
And you’re just looking for a reason to bitch.
Look....Arizonans can’t go on their public lands. We are TOLD stay out of the woods!
They’re ILLEGAL, they have control!!!
Just what the hell would you call it??
Maybe when they escalate the home invasions, and a blade is to your throat you’ll get it.
Yes, I know. I’m too lazy to type it all out...
OK, I’ll be sure and keep a good look out for the cartel snipers when I go to my favorite Columbia River fishing hole later today.
On the upside....looks like hunting season in your area will be a lot more fun and recreational this year.
The MSM is not reporting it because there is a lawsuit going on in Arizona, and this might give credence to what Arizona is doing.
And we can't have that, for Obama's sake.

Sadly, the Texas Rangers have now been de-fanged and basically wussified. PC has now infected them, too.
Mexico is a classic example of a failed state.
They lost control and are ineffective at governing.
Corruption is deep and widespread, too include in the mexican military and police.
Our Border Patrol Agents don’t trust them one iota, as they are, to a man, err, to a single scum, criminals.
Hi Auntie B...
Hard sometimes to educate some fellow FReepers. Seems many just hang around to try to find some little detail that may not be exactly correct then post away to show everyone how clever they are.
If a few uninformed FReepers aren’t aware of the drug operations in the National Forests in the Northwest US, it probably isn’t worth the time to try to inform them. There have been numerous articles posted on FReep describing the dangers of traveling in our forests.

Now there is a posting that this story is bogus.
Time will tell. A former border agent says he’s talked to the Laredo police and confirmed, but hey, who knows!
No, Texas Hasn’t Been Invaded ( I know nothing of this source)

Twitter exploded a while ago about this story, which claims that heavily-armed Los Zetas gunmen of the Gulf Cartel have taken over ranches on the U.S. side of the border.
My curiosity got the better of me, and so I called the Laredo Police Department, and had a delightful chat with the acting watch commander, Sgt. Perez.
Sgt. Perez informed me that I was her seventh caller about this claim since she came on duty this afternoon. She stipulated two things that blows holes in the invasion claim.
1. The location of the alleged invasion is outside of their city-limits jurisdiction, so they would not be involved, and;
2. while they would not be involved in any law enforcement response outside of their jurisdiction, they work closely with the county sheriff’s office and would know if such an event is occurring.
She also provided me the number of the Sheriff’s Department. The deputy that answered the phone there was less bemused, having also dealt with this rumor multiple times in a short amount of time. She also told me that there was no invasion and nolaw enforcement siege, and that deputies were continuing normal operations.
Don’t believe the hype.
I know, I’ve seen it.
Is that you Mullah Omar?
