Amid mounting tensions at the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. defense officials recently revealed that Mexican troops questioned two U.S. Army soldiers on the American side of the border, even going so far as disarming one of them. Despite knowing the Mexican soldiers were in U.S territory, the Americans said they chose to initially comply in order to “de-escalate a potential volatile situation.”
“On April 13, 2019, at approximately 2 p.m. CDT, five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations in an unmarked (Customs and Border Protection) vehicle near the southwest border in the vicinity of Clint, Texas,” U.S. Northern Command said in a statement reported by CNN Friday.
