Huge battle going on Mexico / Texas border

[S-3 Ranch]

Miguel Aleman, Mexico across the river from Roma Texas
I am hearing from someone who is down there that a huge battle between Mexican marines , federal police and a cartel army, wife’s friend is saying, both sides have heavy weapons, light and heavy caliber machine guns, 40mm guns, and its all out Full scale battle for over a week and things are super dicey that it’s getting close to spilling over in to Texas , I trust the sources, but have heard zero on the news here in USA except this https://www.foxnews.com/politics/as-...n-cartel-crisi
Can anyone in the RGV verify this stuff , the media blackout from Mexico is blocking anyone from reporting, and our news is just covering the immigration crisis, I would think a running battle would make Texas news
Farmdog , arturos , any other border area members???

I heard it last week while a reporter was doing her thing on the border. Heavy machine gun going off. These cartels literally have their own armies.

If we had a decent media something like that would make news.

It's a normal thing around that area on a daily basis. Check out this guy Jaeson Jones, he is always reporting gun battles around Miguel Aleman.

That’s nuts..

If the Cartels are fighting with the Mexican Military, it’s because someone in the Mexican government feels like the cartel should pay them more...

Good people down there, but their government makes the dems look like angels.

Interesting Fox News article, but full of excrement. No way do I want our boys fighting the cartels. The only way to defeat the cartels is to over throw the enablers, which is the Mexican government.

I agree, just wondering if and when and what’s going to happen when it’s creeping over the border
I guess all of highway #2 in Mexico is shut down as I think crude is going on in Hidalgo right now farther north west

Haven’t really heard anything that’s out of the ordinary that’s a sketchy area any time during the day, people go all the time heck not long ago a mother from the US went to go talk to the cartel personally looking for her missing son which they informed her to just turn around and stop looking she got lucky they let her cross back. I’ll look for the article.

We’ve heard several shots at night in Boca Chica at the Space X site. Nothing crazy, but definitely automatic weapon. We’ve been warned by local authorities to keep our workers out of Brownsville at night, also.

The people there are enablers as well. They look up to these guys like super hero’s. Heck they write songs about them. But what would you expect when the cartel does more for you than your government.

[scarecrow]

Hmmmm US media...Aw it’s mostly a peaceful shootout!

We’re going to get some feedback from guys hunting in Mexico about it’s ok to travel that corridor
