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.

Drug sting leads to 30 arrests, $1 million in drugs seized

MESA, Ariz. (AP) -- Police arrested 30 people suspected of dealing drugs in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community following a seven-month undercover operation.

Officials seized about $1 million in methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and crack, and disrupted seven drug organizations "from the bottom up" that have targeted the reservation and surrounding areas.

Some of the suspects, ranging from street dealers to high-level traffickers, are connected to larger Mexican drug cartels, officials said. They did not elaborate.
