Five Suspected Cartel Gunmen Killed in Mexican Town Near US Border
[SPUTNIKNEWS] Earlier this week, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador slammed US President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's plan to designate narco mobs based in Mexico as terrorist groups.

Mexican security forces rubbed out at least five suspected cartel button men in the small town of Villa Union in the northern state of Coahuila, near the US border, Rooters reported on Saturday, citing the state's authorities.

Coahuila's attorney general's office confirmed that the suspected criminals were killed during a shootout.

Clashes near Villa Union were apparently captured on camera and shared on social media. The videos show a cloud of smoke rising at the scene, as well as burned vehicles.

The button men reportedly belonged to the so-called Northeast Cartel from Nuevo Laredo.

Raids of this type are not rare in Mexico, where violent gangs are a sad reality.

#2 Different event from the other Cartel vs MexiFeds story.

As for the question posed in #1, permit me to speculate that money has something to do with it.
