A trio of armed men were seen crossing the southern border into Texas on Saturday in what is believed to be the latest incident of suspected Mexican cartel members making their way onto US soil.
Startling images of the incident obtained by Fox News show the three suspected cartel gunmen, one of whom appears to be outfitted with body armor, making their way through the South Texas scrubland, near Fronton, with rifles at the ready.
Border Patrol agents, including members of the elite Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC, investigated the site of the illegal crossing but found nothing, according to the news outlet.
In a similar incident in June, five suspected members of the Cartel Del Noreste were arrested in the same area after illegally crossing the border armed with rifles and tactical gear.
