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 said they found the vehicle about 200 yards from the Colorado River and the seven individuals were dressed in military-style clothing. The CBP later determined the troops' entry was unauthorized.
