Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Obviously this story can’t be true, as the Minutemen are sniping these poor undocumented pharmaceutical workers as they migrate.

WAR! Attack on US LAND!
“Ranch owners have escaped without incident but their ranches remain in the hands of the blood thirsty cartels.”
We got a note from one of the men with NAFBPO, as follows:
BREAKING NEWS:
This info came in late last night from a reliable police source inside the Laredo PD. There is currently a standoff between the unknown size Zeta forces and U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement on two ranches on our side of the Rio Grande. The source tells us he considers this an “act of war” and that the military is needed on the border now!
BREAKING: MULTIPLE RANCHES IN LAREDO, TX TAKEN OVER BY LOS ZETAS

More confirmation here:
1:18 am Today
In what could be deemed an act of war against the sovereign borders of the United States, Mexican drug cartels have seized control of at least two American ranches inside the U.S. territory near Laredo, Texas.
Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Word broke late last night that Laredo police have requested help from the federal government regarding the incursion by the Los Zetas. It appears that the ranch owners have escaped without incident but their ranches remain in the hands of the blood thirsty cartels.
Laredo Border Patrol is conducting aerial surveillance over the ranches to determine the best way to regain control of the U.S. ranches, according to the Laredo Police department.
The approximate location of the U.S. ranches are10 miles northwest of I-35 off Mines Road and Minerales Annex Road. Just off 1472 (Mines road) near Santa Isabel Creek south of the city of Laredo, Texas.
The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers. The group was once part of the Gulf cartel, but has since splintered and now directly competes with the Gulf cartel for premium drug smuggling routes in the Texas region.[snip]

“I don’t question they can,but to what purpose?”
...to establish a beach head to get the drugs in easier?
Nominee for post of the year.
Good questions. Don’t know. Maybe to draw attention our away from something else?
“Seen this story earlier on here today and i have a few questions. These guys are making a damn fortune. What is the purpose to seizing a ranch? “
There was a big battle across the river in Mexico the last couple days. From some reports, this bunch ran to the US for sanctuary and TOOK it.
National Guard, saearch and destroy...now.

Hi, AuntB!
This is very frightening, given the attitude of the current administration.
Everyone knows where they are. Hows that going to work for them? I’m aware they want to believe parts of the U.S. are like Mexico when it comes to law enforcement but in the end it won’t be true. Sad i have to phrase it that way.
No kidding. I hadn’t been there in years, and went back recently. I had forgotten what a complete craphole it really is. When it rains, all the streets wash out. It has been colonized by Mexicans and, in my opinion, is no longer part of the United States, except perhaps for the Mall. The food is good, though.
May we have your attention please - the Federal Government is unable to do anything about this, we’re too busy suing the State of Arizona so that illegals can continue to enter this country without regard to law.
The only thing i can think of that makes sense,assuming the story is true,and the time involved,its been running for hours now,is they have hostages. Otherwise this would be over already.
There’s been no report like that but why else is this story still in its current state? What would lead these criminals to think they could stay where they are and get away with it?
It looks like to me that the Los Zetas drug cartel has just decided to commit suicide, and it won' t be the result of anything the undocumented Muslim does .... it will be the result of Texans and the rest of America rising up and telling Washington .... "We've had enough of this shit!". From here on out we will protect our own borders and you spineless politicians can go to hell.
This could be over by dinner time.
“The border is more secure than it’s ever been.” Janet Napalitono
Reminds me of when she sat for the interview in Laredo with Greta a couple of weeks ago. She certainly located herself in a great location - right at the controlled border crossing. They probably moved through the lines in trucks/vans/cars when her back was turned. I was hoping to see her out in the desert at the unsecured crossings in AZ but she had other ideas. She told Greta she was in Laredo on business anyway.
Bad move on their part if so.
Our leaders are obviously in the drug business from the Clintons to the present. Why else wouldn’t they seal the borders.
I’ve said it and said it, folks. Napalm. But NOOOOO. Some want smart bombs, missiles—big whoopee whoosh ka-BANG showy stuff. But napalm is the gift that keeps on giving: Mexican gunmen running around screaming, trying to slap out flames. Napalm is the big HEY, CALDERON, LOS ZETAS. GET THIS!
