DONNA — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers were processing 33 Mexican soldiers late Tuesday afternoon after the troops inadvertently crossed onto the U.S. side of the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge.
Details of the incident remain unclear, but CBP spokesman Felix Garza said his agency was processing the soldiers for return to Mexico after they found themselves in U.S. territory with four Mexican Humvees.

Yet another act of war that will go unpunished.

Inadvertently. Troops of my old regiment invaded Canada once. The border isn't always well-marked and as I noted earlier, lieutenants and maps...

This is a well marked international bridge with border guards on both sides, signs, flags and everything else.

Not an act of war, just a Kinetic Military Action TM.

were they the Sandcat variety?

Hmmmmmmmmmm. 33 soldiers in four HMMWVs. Must have been troop carriers. Those hold at least eight in the back and two in the driver compartment. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Inadvertently? My @$$. What did big sis just say not long ago? The border is more secure than ever.
