On Monday, men arrived in a boat at a beach in northeast Mexico and installed some signs signaling land that the U.S. Department of Defense considered restricted.

Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said late Monday that the country’s navy had removed the signs, which appeared to be on Mexican territory. “The origin of the signs and their placement on national territory were unclear,” the ministry said in a statement.

    The origin of the signs is a bunch of idiot gravy seals who thought they were being clever by illegally crossing the border in a little fishing boat and hammering them into sovereign Mexican territory. If you made up the last 10 years nobody would believe you.

      Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It’s the DOJ that’s delivering the files

    The signs, driven into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico, caused a stir when witnesses said men in a boat arrived at the local beach known as Playa Bagdad and erected them.

    Oh that explains it, they must have confused it with Baghdad, Iraq

      It’s definitely not legal in many cases. It’s just an that unfortunately no one will do anything about it.
