Cartel Gunbattle Just South Of U.S. Border

It looks like there was a running gunbattle between the Mexican National Guard and the Sinaloa drug cartel in Sonoyta, Sonora, just south of Lukeville, Arizona on the U.S. border, on December 29. There’s a dearth of news stories on the event, so here are two video compilations (with a little overlap) of the fighting.

I haven’t seen any news reports of this in American media, possibly because they think their primary goal is to avoid reporting anything on the border that the Biden Administration’s “pro illegal alien invasion” policies make them look bad with voters.

Indeed, there was a gun battle at a different crossing point earlier this month.

A federal law-enforcement source shared with FOX Business Network an internal officer safety alert dated December 13th that warns CBP agents to be vigilant after the Mexican military seized 10 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at the border.

The IEDs were found by Mexican authorities after Tucson border patrol observed gunshots at the U.S.-Mexico border and a Tucson supervisory border patrol agent arrested an armed person on the U.S. side who had a loaded AK-47 rifle, two loaded AK magazines, loose rounds and a handgun.

    [T]here was a running gunbattle between the Mexican National Guard and the Sinaloa drug cartel in Sonoyta, Sonora,..”

    Eric Holder’s DOJ trafficked thousands of guns to the Sinaloa cartel during operation Fast and Furious. It will surprise no one that the narcoterrorists were emboldened by the ATF’s largess and expanded their activities from running drugs to running gun battles with the police.

    Most likely to be Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which is in direct combat with Juarez Cartel. Juarez is run like a drug business. Jalisco is run like a warlord.

    The Mexican news broadcast said it was Sinaloa cartel, so that’s what I went with.

    In your very own neighborhood, soon. Just like October 7 reenactments…

    How many illegals over the border in the last three years, again? 3-4 million that they’ll admit to?

    Watch. Get the f*ck out of the cities; if you’re within an hours drive of a major metro area, you’re nuts.
