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.

TIJUANA – Mexico's top federal prosecutor said yesterday that his agency continues investigating police links to the region's Arellano Félix drug cartel after the detention of suspected cartel leader Francisco Javier Arellano Félix.

Attorney General Daniel Cabeza de Vaca Hernández said two recently detained Rosarito Beach police officers are being linked to the June decapitations of three of their own colleagues and a civilian. The detained officers are suspected of working for the Arellanos.

“It's evident that there is a large protection network not just there but in the city of Tijuana,” he said, according to a transcript of comments he made at a news conference in Mexico City.

Cabeza de Vaca added that his agency also is working with state authorities to root out corrupt officers on the state level.
