Four police officers were among nearly two dozen people killed after security forces engaged in an hour-long gunbattle with suspected cartel members Saturday in a Mexican town near the U.S. border, days after President Trump said he was moving to designate Mexican drug cartels as terror organizations.
The shootout happened around noon in the small town of Villa Union, a town in Coahuila state located about an hour’s drive southwest of Eagle Pass, Texas.
Coahuila state Gov. Miguel Angel Riquelme told local media that four of the dead were police officers killed in the initial confrontation and that several municipal workers were missing. On Sunday, the Coahuila state government said that security forces killed seven additional members of the gang, bringing the death toll to at least 21.
The armed group of suspected cartel members stormed the town of 3,000 residents in a convoy of trucks, attacking local government offices and prompting state and federal forces to intervene. Ten alleged members of the Cartel of the Northeast were initially killed in the response.
Riquelme told reporters the state had acted “decisively” to take back the town, as videos of the shootout posted on social media showed burned-out vehicles and the facade of Villa Union’s municipal office riddled with bullets.

4 Mexican police dead right?
No Americans?
Cartels run 80% of Mexico.
Correct, AFAIK.
BUT
Go to the link and check out the TEXAS FRONT LICENSE PLATE ON THE DRUG CARTEL TRUCK....................
there were 17 dead cartel attackers
This story can’t be true. Gun violence only happens in the USA because of our outdated second amendment. You must know this, it’s been very well covered in all the papers and tv network news programs.
If we could ban guns these people would spend their time in pews at the local church.
“Cartels run 80% of Mexico.”
Proggies run 80% of America.
like someone said- ‘well that is 18 that won’t show up on our voting rolls’
The existing Government of Mexico is a FACADE... Mexico is run by the CARTEL!
17 i mean- can’t count this morning
Wonder what % of America they run?
That’s not a terrible ration 4 to 17.
The government could win a war of attrition at those rates, but still needs to be better.
Two Dead trucks with Texas plates.
Mexico needs more gun control laws......................
Only reason they exist is because of druggies in the US.
I doubt that.
Proggies get 80% of their money from Mexican drug cartels”
I pray that Coahuila state Gov. Miguel Angel Riquelme has increased his security detail ten-fold and scrutinized every one of them. He is a marked man. Very brave man, too.
