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.

Baja focus to be on kidnappers

TIJUANA – Baja California's new top federal prosecutor said yesterday he would work closely with other law enforcement agencies to crack down on kidnappers.

“I have been told that one of the worries is about kidnapping,” said Guadalupe Alfredo Becerril Almazán, 44, who was sworn in yesterday at the Federal Attorney General's Office.

The region's dominant drug trafficking group is the Arellano Félix cartel, which traditionally attempts to elicit the cooperation of top law enforcement officials through bribes or threats.

Other competing drug groups, taking advantage of a string of arrests of top Arellano leaders, have been making similar outreach efforts in recent years, putting some public officials in dangerous positions.
