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.

MEXICO CITY - U.S. authorities acting on a tip boarded a fishing boat off Baja California and captured a reputed drug kingpin, Francisco Javier Arellano Felix.

The Mexican fugitive is a reputed leader of the Arellano Felix organization, described by U.S. and Mexican law enforcement as the largest and most violent drug-trafficking organization operating in the Tijuana/Baja California area.

Arellano Felix, 36, was arrested by U.S. Coast Guard officials Monday and was being transported to San Diego.

Mike Braun of the Drug Enforcement Administration said the arrest was significant.

"This guy happens to be . . . one of the 45 most-notorious, most-wanted drug traffickers in the world," he said.
