Well yesterday we got a frantic call from US Customs for reinforcements at the LOS INDIOS international bridge located in Cameron County Texas. They were requesting back up since 14 heavily armed Mexican Cartel members in full tactical gear AR-15s and Grenades crossed into the US side and made it all the way to the secondary checking station US customs has. US customs only had 6 agents currently working that slow bridge and they requested help from the Constables office, Sheriff's,Harlingen PD,San Benito PD and the TX DPS response team and US Border patrol. What i was told was that some mexican national probably a rival cartel kidnapped a cartel boss's kid and then he was engaged in a pursuit by the rival cartel boss's hit squad ,well for some reason the Mexican Army was not protecting the bridge which was a load of BS if you ask me and probably an inside job and they let all these heavily armed guys cross the US International bridge into US Customs canopy area. 4 heavily armed subjects were taken peacefully with out a shot fired by the agents but then several more vehicles with the remaining hit squad of cartel members continued into the US side on the bridge itself but then were chased by US border patrol back into the Mexican side of the bridge. Upon my arrival i then helped out in closing the US side of the bridge until we can varify that the Mexican army was actually doing its job and shutting down the mexican side of the bridge for our safety. When we were securing the bridge we were advised by the Border patrol helicopter that over 10 heavily armed guys were gearing up on the mexican side getting ready to rescue the guys we had arrested on the US side. In the end i was there for around 6 hours guarding the bridge along with other local agency tactical units. No shots were fired and no secondary attack was mounted by the cartel the Bomb squad took possesion of the grenades found on the suspects.
And what is crazy is the media does not know and the citizens dont know how NOT safe they are and i can promise you if those guys wanted to they could of out gunned and out numbered all of us and killed us all if they wanted to. I noticed that most of the Deputys and agents there only had 1 or 2 AR magazines on them when they cartel guys had around 6 each on the tactical vests.
