Francisco "pancho" Villa
True. Though his army killed many, they didn't capture Pancho villa.
People in the United States wanted to apprehend Pancho Villa because he raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico in an attempt to show that he was not pleased in the United States response to the Mexican Revolution and wanted more support on his side. The US government sent General Pershing to find and capture Villa but Pershing was unsuccessful and the United States never caught Pancho Villa.

Pancho Villa
General John Pershing led the United States army into Mexico in order to pursue Pancho Villa, the Mexican Revolutionary. Pershing was unsuccessful in his quest. He chased Pancho Villa for a year before withdrawing in 1917 when the United States entered World War I.
Woodrow Wilson sent General John J. Pershing to deal with Pancho Villa. In 1916, after Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, Pershing led an expedition into Mexico to capture him. This military action aimed to address Villa's threats to American interests and maintain stability in the region. However, the expedition faced challenges, and Villa was never captured.
