New Patriot Journal Confirms Authorities on Scene in Laredo

Update:

As of 10:00p.m. PST New Patriot Journal has verified though independent sources in the Laredo police department that there may be some validity to the rumors that have been circulating for the past 24 hours.  Reports are that U.S. Border Patrol agents as well as officers from the Webb County Sheriff’s department are currently working a call that was received by a local rancher in the Santa Isabel River area outside of Laredo, TX and that the County and some Federal officials are currently on the scene.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources inside the Laredo P.D. confirmed reports that starting Friday night an altercation between unidentified people had taken over one ranch but that the situation is not within the jurisdiction of the Laredo P.D. so they don’t have officers working it.

The U.S. Border Patrol as well as the Webb County Sheriff will not deny these reports. The following articles relay the time line of devloping events throughout the day:

thank you for keeping us updated on these issues. I haven't seen anything about any of this on main stream media & I live in Texas!!

The Laredo police have their hands tied in a way that the AZ police will not in just a few days. Anyone seeing more value in AZ SB1070? I'm thinking that the Laredo police force does right now. I wonder if it is time to call the troops back from Afghanistan and Iraq? They certainly have the skills to kick these cartels back to Antartica.

Oh yea, drug cartel takes over a ranch in texas but the border is safer now than it has been in the last 20 years. Unless Peggy West has decided that texas is a ways removed from the border as well... this is just rediculous. And the mexican government wont do anything to stop this kind of thing from happening because its apparently our fault that the drug cartels are warring. Will mexico be our next war?

It looks like its time to call the state militia if law enforcement is not willing to take care of it.

They've confirmed that a ranch has been overtaken by a Mexican drug cartel, but they WON'T offer aid to the beseiged rancher because he's outside of their jurisdiction? How about the Sheriff? Border Patrol? DHS? Anyone out there?
