Alleged “stand down” order consistent with mounting tensions on southern border
From the February 2004 Idaho Observer:
Alleged “stand down” order consistent with mounting tensions on southern border
The following information was shared with me by some federal law enforcement and Border Patrol officials in the San Diego area.
According to reliable sources, Border Patrol has received a document from headquarters in Washington, D.C. which orders them to stand down and avoid all contact with any “military” looking units crossing into the United States. This comes at a time when incursions are at an all time high and drug cartels are also using Mexican military to escort their drugs into the United States well into the territory beyond 1-5 miles
I work for the Border Patrol and I haven't seen any such document. When was it issued?
