Yes there is. Interesting that you have the real information trail already to go. Not gonna ask where you work....
The NG did call for assistance. The Border Patrol arrived and an SRT was deployed
Isn't it sort of comically pathetic that the poor, pitiful National Guard - an element of the United States Army - has to call for rescue from a police agency?
We all know that's because they have been legally hamstrung by the political stunt of putting them on their border with their hands tied.
I have been all over the desert just to the north of Sasabe. Not so long ago, things like this would have been unimaginable. Sure, there were smuggler incidents - but those were police actions, not much more. But slowly, over the years, the audacity on the part of the gangs (and that includes the gang known as "the Mexican Army") has been growing - in direct proportion to their perception of weakness in the U.S. government. And now we have things like this actually happening quite frequently. That shows the contempt for the forces of the U.S. to the South.
Interesting that you recommend a FOIA - that could take months for a release. By then, no one will remember the incident.
Which is pretty much what I think the administration wants to have happen.
If one of the Guardsmen had made the mistake of trying to defend himself, I'm sure they'll bring in Johnny Sutton to prosecute him.
The first report that I read yesterday stated that the Mexicans were dressed in military uniforms. Right now I can't find a link to it but when I do, I'll let you know.
For those of you that I pinged, read post #138. Very interesting to say the least.

I believe months is an optimistic estimate. I do a lot of FOIA responses - try years. Except for recent requests from CAIR - they get expedited from the top. Incredible?
