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.

More than a ton of marijuana was found near Casa Grande Tuesday.

According to a release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, agents patrolling near the Tohono O'odham reservation spotted fresh tracks near the village of Kohatk.

From a Blackhawk helicopter, they spotted a stolen Dodge truck with marijuana in the bed, according to CBP. A man and woman from Mexico were found nearby. A total of 2,400 pounds of marijuana were found in the truck.

The man and woman, whose names were not provided by CBP, were voluntarily returned to Mexico, officials said.
