The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed. As of this hour I cannot confirm 100% on the situation (I am at around 90%) - though the source is law enforcement in the area. Founder of the San Diego Minutemen Jeff Schwilk tipped me off to this story and passes along the following information on the location. The ranches are said to be "near Mines Rd. and Minerales Annex Rd about 10 miles NW of I-35". Update (Statement from Mr. Schwilk) I can personally vouch that this info came in late last night from a reliable police source inside the Laredo PD. There is currently a standoff between the unknown size Zeta forces and U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement on two ranches on our side of the Rio Grande. The source tells us he considers this an "act of war" and that the military is needed on the border now! Whether it is lone members or squads is not certain. Anonymous sources in law enforcement in the Laredo area tonight have passed on word that US law enforcement agencies are in the area and are weighing their options regarding the ranches. The media has been silent on this incident and some law enforcement in the area says that they are furious that the media is not reporting the whole story of the continued violence along the border. Their frustrations are understandable because keeping the truth suppressed continues to hamper law enforcement from receiving the true support they need along the border. The ranch assaults come on the heals of attacks in Nuevo Laredo that shut the city down as a gun-battle raged in the streets. Los Zetas blocked off intersections with vehicles and used fragmentation grenades to attack Mexican law enforcement. In the end 12 were killed and 21 injured in the assaults. Citizens in the area were told to stay in their homes and bullets whizzed all around. The U.S. Consulate went on to say, “The consulate confirmed that fragmentation grenades were used in the attacks and that suspected drug-gang members had blocked several roads, adding that it advised ‘all U.S. citizens in Nuevo Laredo to remain indoors until the security situation improves.’” US Citizens in Laredo called 911 after hearing gunfire and explosions just across the border. Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza deflected the concerns of citizens with what I see as utter contempt. He said there was no spillover violence onto the US side and "We were getting reports from people who live on the river's edge that they could hear gunfire and explosions from the Mexico side," Baeza said, "We didn't have any incidents on the American side. It's hard for people to understand who don't live here ... They're not Vikings, they're not going to invade us, it doesn't work that way." This was said just a day before the reported breaking news on the ranches being taken above. Violence has been on the rise along the border. In April 2010 a Border Patrol agent in Laredo shot and killed an lllegal alien drug smuggler near the Rio Grande The Los Zetas are highly trained killers initially trained by United States Special Operations forces to combat the drug cartes within Mexico. As the drug war heated up the Zetas saw more money in working for the cartels and joined up with the Gulf Cartel. In March, 2010 there was a fracture between the Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel when a Zetas leader was said to have been assassinated by the Gulf Cartel. They demanded that the killer be turned over to them. When the Gulf Cartel refused the Zetas captured 16 Gulf Cartel members. Since March Los Zetas abandoned their stronghold in Reynosa and moved to Nuevo Laredo, just across from the border with Laredo, Texas. There are estimated to be over 1,000 Zeta members there. BREAKING: Multiple Ranches In Laredo, TX Taken Over By Los Zetas
The U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo had posted warnings on its website hours before the gunfire was reported by Texas citizens, “We have received credible reports of widespread violence occurring now between narcotics-trafficking organizations and the Mexican army in Nuevo Laredo.” Los Zetas

We should all be down there. Period.
Will TX take it's State back from the Ferales ? Even in that event, you'll probably find some TX LEO shooting at YOU before they even THINK about shooting at the Messican scum occupying it's State...
There comes a time when we either crap or get off the pot. The insults are unbearable.
Los Zetas said to have invaded ranches in Texas Jul 24, 4:30 pm Washington will leave dealing with this to the local authorities they so disdain. Subject: UPDATE: Zetas Occupying Texas Ranches As of 0030 PT Laredo LE source reports that location of the two ranches taken over by Zeta drug cartel forces is on the border near Mines Rd. and Minerales Rd. about 10 miles NW of I-35. He thinks a raid is going to be happening soon by U.S. agencies. He says the Zetas have been occupying these ranches for over 24 hours. The ranch owners were able to escape from their properties and are safe. If you have any political and/or media contacts in the Laredo area, please tell them to get on this story ASAP so it doesn't get swept under the rug. LE is very angry that there is no media coverage of this and that the Feds are not calling in heavy backup for this gross violation of our territory by foreign cartels who are terrorizing the people of Nuevo Laredo on the Mexican side this week. It seems obvious that the Mexican Cartels have no fear of the Obama Administration and are testing our defenses. We should get another update in the morning. - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Schwilk Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 11:23 PM Subject: EMERGENCY ALERT!! TEXAS: Mexican Zetas have taken over two Ranches near Laredo, TX !!! INSIDE THE U.S. ! Heads up. Details are just coming in from LE sources on the scene in Laredo, TX. This happened Thursday night and the Mexican Zetas are still occupying the U.S. ranches. Very little in the media so far. Nuevo Laredo on the Mexican side is in full lockdown from the Zetas who are telling everyone in the city to stay inside their homes. All out civil war in that city with grenade launcher attacks and constant gun battles with the police and Mexican forces. Standby for updates. The source says the U.S. military is needed NOW on the border in TX! He says he considers this to be an "act of war". Border Patrol is monitoring the situation closely with all assets.
