What action did Pancho Villa take against the US?

The insurgent leader Villa became an enemy from a friend.
Initially, he found refuge in Texas and Arizona and smuggled weapons across the border with the knowledge of the US authorities, and then President Wilson sent Gen. John Pershing on a criminal expedition to Chihuahua against Villa.
The latter, in retaliation in 1916, attacked the border town of Columbus, New Mexico, with the robbery and murder of civilians.
Wilson, again ignoring the sovereignty of Mexico, sends General Pershing with 58,000 troops to arrest Villa, but that expedition ends in failure after a year.
