A gunfight occurred near a border security outpost near Laredo, Northern Mexico, between the South American Union Border Guard and an armed irregular group. A South American Union Military spokesperson announced that the Border Guard encountered a human smuggling organization assisting the illegal crossing of "Northern Refugees," leading to the engagement. One guard member sustained minor injuries in the clash; casualties on the armed group's side remain unknown. The surrounding area was temporarily sealed off. Sources had previously indicated that forces believed to be remnants of old fascists, operating in the region's black market, were organizing displaced persons from the old order attempting to cross the border. The Office of the Chairman of the South American Union Supreme Council reiterated its commitment to strengthening border security and preventing illegal crossings in a statement.
