Reportedly a Mexican military helicopter has crossed the border and fired upon American Border Patrol Agents.
The incident tool place early Thursday morning, west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’Odham Nation. The helicopter fired on the agents but missed them. The helicopter then flew back into Mexico.
Reportedly Mexican authorities contacted the U.S. and apologized for the incident.
Two statements were released in regards to the incident:
Art del Cueto, Border Patrol Tucson Sector union president:
The incident occurred after midnight and before 6 a.m. Helicopter flew into the U.S. and fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents. The incident occurred west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation. The agents were unharmed. The helicopter went back into Mexico. Mexico then contacted U.S. authorities and apologized for the incident.
Andy Adame, U.S. Border Patrol Spokesperson:
Early this morning, a Mexican law enforcement helicopter crossed approximately 100 yards north into Arizona nearly 8 miles southwest of the Village of San Miguel on the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation while on a drug interdiction operation near the border. Two shots were fired from the helicopter but no injuries or damage to US property were reported. The incident is currently under investigation.
Is Mexico trying to provoke a war?
What was that phone call like? “Hey, sorry, some of our guys were drunk and messed up. It won’t happen again”
Drifting into air space on accident is laughable at best, but as far as public perception is concerned it’s an acceptable explanation.
But, that’s NOT what happened. This was a deliberate offense, and Mexico is trying to kick something off.
What will this mean for when Nancy Pelosi visits the border this weekend?
