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.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico – A Texan man and a Mexican man kidnapped by 30 to 40 gunmen at a hunting ranch were released Wednesday unharmed, but three others remained missing, authorities said.

Coahuila state prosecutor Jesus Torres gave no further details about the release of David Mueller, 45, of the Sweetwater, Texas area, and Fidel Rodriguez Cerdan, of Monterrey. The men were on a hunting trip when they were abducted from a ranch near the U.S. border over the weekend.

Librado Pina Jr., 49, and his son Librado Pina III, 25, both of Laredo, Texas; and the hunting ranch's cook, Marco Ortiz, remain missing, Torres said.

Witnesses told police that 30 to 40 armed men entered the La Barranca ranch late Sunday and took the five men away.
