Yes; it is known as the US Occupation of Veracruz (1914). Direct results include 22 Americans and 172 Mexicans killed, and many more wounded; the landing resulted in the occupation of Veracruz for several months. Both Venustiano Carranza and Victoriano Huerta, opposing generals during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921) protested, but neither of them could appropriately respond to such flagrant violation of Mexican sovereignty. Both Mexico and the United States were at the brink of war, but diplomatic intervention by the ABC countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) prevented such conflict. It however, resulted in mutual contempt for many decades to come.
