Within the past 8 to 10 hours, the Border Patrol out of Yuma, Arizona reportedly came across a Mexican Army Humvee full of soldiers with high-powered weaponry. The Humvee was inside the United States in a known drug trafficking area. It had run out of gas. On orders from David V. Aguilar, head of the Border Patrol, the vehicle, the soldiers, and the weaponry were returned to Mexico via the San Luis, Arizona port of entry.
U. S. Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) has been notified and is investigating.
- 1:30 pm PDT It has now been confirmed that the Mexican Army Humvee that was caught on U.S. Soil earlier had crossed the Colorado River. This means that the driver knew he had entered the U.S. illegally.
The map at this link shows that there are fences all along the border near Yuma, with the exception of most of the Colorado River.
