New Mexico qualifies as such. He raided the town of Columbus, NM.
On 15 May 1916. The raid killed one US civilian and wounded three US soldiers.

Answer 1: Pancho Villa was a Mexican Revolutionary General and hero to his people. Since his raid on Columbus in 1916, Villa was neither friend nor hero to the US. Answer 2: Yes. Pancho Villa is known world wide, and treated like a hero everywhere. He is most commonly known in the United States as a hero by United States Citizens (Americans). It might be really awkward that Pancho Villa murdered Americans, and still, Americans now days love him and treat him like a hero. The reason for that is that Pancho Villa was like a Mexican Robinhood. he stole from the middle class, and the rich and gave it to the poor. He also rebelled against evil people in Mexico and always protected Mexico from American attacks.
Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary leader who advocated for the poor and wanted agrarian reform. Though he was a killer, a bandit, and a revolutionary leader, many remember him as a folk hero. Pancho Villa was also responsible for a raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916, which was the first attack on U.S. soil since 1812.
The 9 March 1916 raid on Columbus pitted Villa against the 13th Cavalry Regiment. The Villistas stole 100 horses and mules but lost 80 of their raiders killed out of a force of about 500 men.
No, he made a raid into Columbus, New Mexico in a successful effort to steal horses, but he lost 73 killed and 5 men taken prisoner (who were later hanged) in the effort.
Pancho Villa had raided a village in New Mexico and killed Americans. Wilson was determined to prevent Villa from using US territory as a staging ground for his war in Mexico.
In 1916, in retaliation for Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, and the death of 16 American citizens, President Wilson sent General John J. Pershing and 10,000 US troops into Mexico to capture Villa. This punitive expedition was unsuccessful.
Pancho Villa hoped that his actions against Americans, particularly the raid on Columbus, New Mexico in 1916, would provoke a larger armed conflict between the United States and his rival, Mexican President Venustiano Carranza. Villa believed that this conflict would bring visibility to his cause and rally support for his revolutionary movement against Carranza. Additionally, he sought to demonstrate his power and force the United States to withdraw its support for Carranza's government.
