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.

ICE agents take custody of another violent street gang member

HOUSTON - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Monday took into custody Paul Orozco-Moreno, 18, an illegal alien from Mexico and an admitted gang member, from the Montgomery County Sheriff's office.

Sheriff's deputies originally arrested Orozco-Moreno April 21 for burglary and possessing marijuana. He was convicted and sentenced to 45 days in juvenile jail for his crimes. As standard operating procedure regarding criminal aliens and gang members, ICE placed a “detainer” on Orozco-Moreno to ensure that he would be released into ICE custody, instead of being released to the streets.

During his interview in Montgomery County Jail, Orozco-Moreno admitted to ICE agents that he was a member of the violent Mexican Surenos street gang. He had several gang-related tattoos on his chest and back with the numbers “13” and “187.” He also had a number of tattoos under his eyes.
