A group of armed Mexican soldiers disarmed and detained two US soldiers on the US side of the border near Clint, Texas on April 13th.

Officials with US Northern Command told CNN that “The U.S. soldiers were appropriately in U.S. territory,” and were reportedly providing border support “in an unmarked (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) vehicle.”

According to officials, the Mexican soldiers pointed their firearms at the two US soldiers and removed a sidearm from one of the US soldiers.

The US soldiers allowed their weapons to be taken “in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation.”

One of the US soldiers spoke Spanish and was able to communicate to the Mexican soldiers and explain the situation — both sides promised to de-conflict in the future, the officials said.

Customs and Border Protection confirmed that the Mexican soldiers believed the US soldiers were on the Mexican side of the border, even though they were on US soil.
