(CNN) — Seven members of the Mexican military were found inside the United States on Friday, telling border agents they had become disoriented while on patrol and accidentally crossed into the country, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol said. The incident began about 8 a.m. Friday, when the Border Patrol’s Yuma, Arizona, sector was notified that a military-style Hummer was broken down, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) said in a written statement. Agents and a CBP pilot responded, found the vehicle and determined the entry was unauthorized. “The seven individuals in the vehicle were dressed in military-style clothing,” CBP said. The men told CBP agents they were members of the Mexican military. Agents told them they were inside the United States and “peaceably” took them into custody, the statement said. “At no time were any hostilities exchanged between the agents and military officials.” |
