Suspects in uniform confront Texas lawmen again.

Less than a week after Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff warned against 'alarmist' reports of Mexican military incursions into the United States, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that Texas state troopers ran into men dressed in Mexican uniforms or camouflage on the U.S. side of the border, The Associated Press is reporting.

Chertoff was responding to reports early last week of more than 200 reported incursions by uniformed men from Mexico since 1996 -- drawn from a study by his own department.

While Chertoff last week termed most such crossings 'innocent things,' the incident that occurred on Monday in Hudspeth County, Texas, along the Rio Grande about 50 miles east of El Paso, seemed anything but innocent.

The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin in Ontario, Calif. -- the paper that broke the incursion story a week ago Sunday -- was at it again today, reporting that there was a standoff involving with the Mexican military, suspected drug smugglers and nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officers -- along with Mexican military Humvees hauling what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the United States."
