I am doubtful of the reliability of these stories....
First one reported this "The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that
Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed. The source is law enforcement in the area"

Houston Chronicle is reporting fighting just across the border
Kimberly Dvorak is reporting it too. She states she has 2 sources in the Laredo PD.
Left Coast Reb has a map.

Jeff Schwilk, who said that the Zetas, former enforcers of the Gulf Cartel, had crossed into the United States and taken over two ranches off Mines Road, about 10 miles northwest of Interstate 35.
