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.

Corrupt cops face test of loyalty

TIJUANA – These are troubling times for police who have aligned themselves with drug groups.

Since U.S. authorities arrested suspected drug cartel kingpin Francisco Javier Arellano Félix last month, Mexican federal authorities have vowed they will purge police agencies of officials linked to the Arellanos.

At the same time, rival drug gangs are rumored to be enlisting the support of police, creating a dangerous challenge for corrupt cops who have had a long working relationship with the Arellanos.

“The loyalties to the Arellanos run very deep because they have worked here so long” and have so many obligated to them, said Victor Clark, a Tijuana human rights activist who follows drug trafficking trends.
