The ranger was responding, along with the U.S. Border Patrol, to a call for assistance from Mexican authorities who were chasing two men in a vehicle that crossed the border into the Organ Pipe National Monument.

Sounds like the perpetrators didn't fork over the required bribes to the Mexican police so they sicced the Americans on them. Reminds me of an old Townes Van Zandt song:

All the federales say
They could've had him any day
They only let him slip away... Pancho and Lefty

Reminds me of an old Townes Van Zandt song:

Or many of the very popular narco-corridas you hear in every Mexican neighborhood here in the US. Killing of US law enforcement agents is glorified in their songs and by their most popular Norteno groups.

Damn Rav, you do have a redeeming quality. You just recognized one of the best and most under-rated songwriters of our time until his fairly recent demise.

I salute you....if only momentarily...
