"An inquiry by and revealed that the Mexican military members believed that the US Army soldiers were south of the border," Northern Command said while adding that the US troops were north of the border."Though they were south of the border fence, US soldiers remained in US territory, north of the actual border," the statement said, adding that"after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area.

Que? America can question Mexico but not the other way around?

I hope they told them to stay out of United States business.

Wow. Look at Mexico, defending their border and CNN reporting on it 😂😂😂😂

CNN discovered drug route from Venezuela - Honduras - Mexico - US. Is this not enough to finally build the wall or close it?

Unmarked vehicle on the border where actual border delineation is unmarked? What do you expect? Both US and Mex work to secure along the no mans zone. Next time drive the marked vehicle, boys.

Makes no sense. Someone had to be in the wrong territory no? If it wasn’t the U.S. than it was them or vice versa. And why were soldiers in an unmarked car? 🤷‍♂️

That should never happen again

We need to annex a Gaza Strip size area of Mexico to dump all these illegals and faux asylum seekers.

Your service is doing a disservice to America by using that headline. As detailed in the actual article, it was an understandable misunderstanding. But you choose to use that headline.

So Mexico invaded the US and took prisoners?

Mexico has an army?

They were looking to purchase. MAGA hats.

'Though they were south of the border fence, US soldiers remained in US territory, north of the actual border,' the statement said, adding that 'after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area.' headlinesmatter

IM THINKIN ROUND TABLE OF BADASSES THAT CEO THE CASINO A BIG TABLE

Now we know that Mexican military was behind caravans all along.

Shut the southern boarder completely down for one year, then talk to Mexico and their government.

OH WHAT THE HECK Roe TOO

Were the soldiers looking for pot

Mexican troops and the Mexican government should apologize to the US government and the two US soldiers.

If it’s easy to get confused who’s on which side of the border, the first reaction of the Mexican troops shouldn’t have been to point their weapons at the Americans.

We're all on the same team kicking the shit out of the cartels, right?...RIGHT

Surveillance of what, tumbleweeds?

Before or after they did a hit for the cartel?

It appears to be somewhat of a bothersome situation.

Sorry guys MANVI program is over

Mexico troops apparently as crooked as ever!

I think it's wrong to use our military for this b.s.kind of work/task while the prez is golfing and enjoying his Easter weekend, shame on you tRump.

PLAYING CARDS... NO EMERGENCY

Opinion | A progressive one-two punch to fix the U.S. economyA Roosevelt Institute report lays out a clear and compelling plan to curb corporate power and serve the public interest. Let's streamline the discussion. Do you want a country that uses the money of the people for the people or do you want one that uses our money to enrich the rich and guarantee their profits keep growing? without that core discussion, we are wasting our time on this issue. imo Let me guess? More Government control from technocrats. More wealth redistribution. This has never been tired before, ever. Notrealsocialsim 8 years after Obama, he is richer but the Americans deeper in debt. 🤪
