Correct. Wilson invaded Mexico because Villa attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico in search of supplies and weapons. He was routed by the US Army, but the battle resulted in 18 dead, including 10 civilians; just like an ancient Osama bin Laden, he was wanted dead or alive.

Carranza protested Wilson for it, but he could not actively respond, as he was in the middle of the Mexican Revolution (1810-1921). This however, further damaged US-Mexico relations for decades to come.
