News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Agents seize cocaine at border port

FROM STAFF REPORTS

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a Mexican man and seized for more a $1 million worth of cocaine Wednesday at U.S. Port of Entry at San Luis, Ariz., after a dog picked up the scent of the narcotics, according to CBP.

The cocaine, weighing more than 40 pounds, had been wrapped in 16 packages and hidden in a special compartment into the trunk of a 1993 Toyota Camry the man was driving, CBP said.

CBP officers found the drugs after Kilo, a narcotics-detection dog assigned to the port, picked up the scent of drugs in the vehicle, according to CBP.

The 48-year-old man was unidentified, but CBP said he was from Reyes, Sinaloa, Mexico.
