Full title:Shootout at U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo Part of Cartel-Terrorist Attack Plan for Trump Inauguration
A deadly shootout at the construction site of the new American Consulate occurred this week in a Mexican border town where Islamic terrorists and drug cartels plan to launch attacks against the U.S. during the period surrounding the presidential inauguration, high-level government sources tell Judicial Watch. An unknown number of gunmen fired multiple rounds adjacent to the new U.S. Consulate compound in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, a crime-infested city in the state of Tamaulipas that lies directly across from Laredo, Texas.
The Mexican military responded to the attack, law enforcement sources on both sides of the border confirm insisting that their identities be kept confidential for security reasons, and at least three soldiers were either killed or critically wounded in the ambush. A local newspaper in Tamaulipas reported that 13 people died during a shootout in Nuevo Laredo, referring to the deceased as heavily armed “delinquents” with an arsenal that includes 12 automatic weapons, a rocket launcher, grenade, loads of ammunition and drugs in three vehicles, one of them armored. The deceased have not been identified and Mexican authorities will continue to investigate, the article states, attributing the information to a press release issued by Mexico’s Defense Secretary.
Judicial Watch’s law enforcement and intelligence sources say the barrage outside what’s soon to be the new U.S. Consulate is connected to a broad operation between Islamic terrorists and Mexican drug cartels to send President-elect Donald Trump a message by engaging in attacks at border ports. “Cartels usually don’t work with jihadists for fear of having the border shut down,” a veteran federal law enforcement official told Judicial Watch. “But Trump is causing so much disruption in Mexico that they are partnering to send a message as to who is in control. This is as outrageous as a small group of guys crashing planes into U.S. buildings.” Another official who has worked in the region for years said “Trump is causing a huge amount of fear in Mexico throughout all sectors; private, government, business, criminal, police….”
Nuevo Laredo is among the border towns that the terrorists and narcotraffickers plan to launch attacks in, according to intelligence gathered by law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Mexico. Others include Matamoros, Reynosa and Ciudad Juárez. In 2015 Judicial Watch reported that ISIS is operating a camp just west of Ciudad Juárez, around eight miles from El Paso. Sources that include a Mexican Army field grade officer and Mexican Federal Police inspector revealed that, during a joint operation, they discovered documents in Arabic and Urdu, as well as “plans” of Fort Bliss – the sprawling military installation in El Paso that houses the US Army’s 1st Armored Division. Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.
Just last week Judicial Watch reported that a Jihadi-cartel alliance in the Mexican state of Nuevo León is collaborating to carry out attacks in American cities and ports of entry along the southern border. Confidential U.S. and Mexican law enforcement sources said that, as part of the plan, militant Islamists have arrived recently at the Monterrey International Airport situated in Apodaca, Nuevo León, about 130 miles south of the Texas border. An internal Mexican law enforcement report obtained by Judicial Watch confirms that Islamic terrorists have “people along the border, principally in Tijuana, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.” Cartel informants tell law enforcement contacts that “they are only waiting for the order and the times to carry out a simultaneous attack in the different ports of entry or cities of the United States of America.”
The area where this week’s shootout originated is a 5.6-acre parcel just south of downtown Nuevo Laredo on Paseo Colon. The State Department predicts that by September the new U.S. Consulate compound, which broke ground in mid-2015 and will cost $155 million, should be completed. It will have multiple buildings, including an office structure, U.S. Marine Security Guard residence, support annex and other facilities for the consulate community. The primary function of consulates is helping and protecting Americans abroad.
One mile wide, free fire zone on the Mexican side of the border.
So.. they looked at a blog or something?
Was there years ago what a hell hole.
Link?
Trump could be the best thing to ever happen to Mexico ,, if he’s able to starve out the drug cartels and return the government back to the people.

Off the Wall Ping!
Contact to be added.
There is nothing to prohibit the President to Declare a State of Emergency with Armed Invaders along our Southern Border and Muster the National Guard. Issue Ammo and ROI that are short and crystal Clear. You see weapons or hostile activities shoot. All others will be apprehended and turned over to Border Patrol for immediate removal.
Preferably by trebuchet!
“But Trump is causing so much disruption in Mexico that they are partnering to send a message as to who is in control.”
Wall just got ten feet higher. Keep it up.
Matamoras and Tijuana are ever worse than Laredo.
My lil ol pinion, we shouldn't have troops half way around the world in Iraq/Afghanistan...they should be on our Southern border, pressing in to Messy-co by 5 miles or so to create a buffer zone of protection for Americans.
Interesting that it says the cartels don’t usually team up with the terrorists because they fear the border would be closed.
How many weapons are the cartels using from Fast n Furious?
Something the Mex govt didnt/wouldnt/couldnt do.
Eric-the-Red needs to have his chain jerked.

Money would have been better spent on the wall.
I lived in Matamoros and still live within a 10 minute walk from the bridge. It’s NOWHERE NEAR as bad as about 3 years ago. I visit almost daily, several times weekly and aside from the smell of the canals, its not THAT bad.
President Trump is not Limp-Wrist Obama. Launching terrorist attacks during the Inauguration will not work out well. It takes a special kind of stupid to step up first in line to test a real man’s resolve.
