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.

Police announce one of the largest drug busts in memory

PHOENIX (AP) -- Police have arrested 10 people and are pursuing 59 others in what Arizona's attorney general is calling one of the biggest drug busts in state history.

Attorney General Terry Goddard on Friday announced a 417-count indictment as part of a three-month investigation of a drug organization based in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Police made the arrests earlier this summer. They also seized about 108 pounds of cocaine, 50 pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of crack cocaine, 16 guns and 33 vehicles. They also seized $2.5 million in cash.

Authorities said the drug ring received huge amounts of meth and cocaine at several spots in Phoenix. The drugs were then sent to other states.
