U.S. Invades Mexico: Seriously

This is just strange  From Fox News: U.S. federal agents whisked a 9-year-old boy with a massive tumor from a dangerous neighborhood in Mexico and took him across the border for treatment in New Mexico, his family said.
The boy and his parents were snatched Thursday from the gang-infested neighborhood in Ciudad Juárez — one of the deadliest cities in the world — after members of a New Mexico Baptist church saw him near an orphanage and sought help.
The parents of the child, identified by officials only as José to protect his family, said the tumor on his shoulder and neck has grown so large that it affects his eyesight and could move into his heart.
With no money for medical care, the family sought treatment in Juárez and El Paso, but did not receive any help removing the tumor, which has afflicted Jose since birth....
 The U.S. Border Patrol helped the family enter the country.
Asked Friday about the ride in the armored vehicle, José's eyes widen before he covered his face with his hands. "I like it here," he said.
Also: A 9-year-old boy with a massive tumor was whisked from a dangerous neighborhood in Mexico in an armored vehicle by U.S. agents and taken across the border for treatment in New Mexico, his family said. The boy and his parents were snatched Thursday from the gang-infested neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez — one of the deadliest cities in the world — after members of a New Mexico Baptist church saw him near an orphanage and sought help.
I have no problem with the boy getting free medical treatment in the U.S. by why in the hell did the U.S. government send in an armour car and Federal agents to get the boy?  While Juarez is dangerous, though, not as much compared to a few years ago, they do have a police department and the Army has a major presence in Juarez.  There is no reason why the Juarez police department and Mexican Army could not deliver the boy to a border crossing in El Paso.
So, I guess we are now invading another country, this time, Mexico.
