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.

09/11/2006

Andrade, CA. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers conducting routine border security operations at the Andrade border station apprehended six fugitives with outstanding warrants and intercepted 73 pounds of cocaine from September 2 through September 10, officials announced today. The six fugitives were wanted on local, state, and federal warrants.

CBP officers arrested 20-year old Evan Vargas, a U.S. citizen, when he came through the port as a pedestrian at about 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 2. A law enforcement query revealed Vargas as the subject of an outstanding warrant for dangerous drugs and a weapons violation out of Maricopa County, Arizona. Vargas was transported to the Imperial County jail to await extradition.

A second arrest occurred on Saturday at about 4:00 p.m., when CBP officers apprehended 51-year old Rick Comer from Lake Havasu City, AZ, when he entered the port as a pedestrian. Comer was taken into custody after CBP officers discovered he was wanted out of Louisiana for failure to register as a sexual offender.
