No uniforms, but definitely active military. I am sure they were not doing police-type work. Interdicting? Probably, but who knows what. You're not going to see them in Houston, San Antonio, or DFW but along the border in the Big Bend area and NW to El Paso.Military by Fed'l law cannot operate within US for tactical operations.

Were you sure they were military? I know that HRT does raids with Bortac at time. The USMS has SOG, and DEA has FAST and both of those will look JUST like military special operations capable units. Many of these units cross train with the most elite CT groups in the world. I also have 1st hand info that some of the 19th and 20th SFG will operate on the MX side and assist with raids and stuff. Not sure the logistics but in the Fed'l tac team people I've spoken with that is the reason that HRT and other elite fed'l tac teams were created - they cannot lean on SF/SEALS/RECON/DELTA to fix problems in the US nor do they want they want their operators having to testify in court. I could be wrong, but this is my understanding.
I understand that in a time of war they could obviously operate on US soil.
