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.

A recently-appointed Chihuahua state police commander was killed when his vehicle was ambushed by gunmen Sunday night in Juárez, officials said Monday.

Marcos Arturo Nazar Contreras, 45, was appointed as the interim regional coordinator of the State Investigations Agency on May 25, state police said. An autopsy found Nazar Contreras had 37 gunshot wounds. Nazar Contreras' death was one of at least four gangland-style slayings since Friday, when the bodies of two abducted teenagers were found near the Juárez airport.

Nazar Contreras was appointed when authorities overhauled the top police leadership amid allegations that some leaders were linked to drug traffickers, the Associated Press reported.
