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.

SAN DIEGO – The oldest brother of the man authorities say is the leader of one of the largest drug cartels in Mexico pleaded not guilty in San Diego federal court Monday to drug charges two days after being turned over to U.S. officials.

Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix is charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine distribution under a 1980 grand jury indictment issued here. He faces up to 30 years in prison. U.S. Magistrate Judge Anthony Battaglia scheduled a bail hearing for Thursday. Arellano is currently being held in a location that prosecutors would not reveal.
