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.

Two brothers accused of running day-to-day operations for the Arellano Félix cartel in Tijuana and Mexicali pleaded not guilty in San Diego federal court yesterday and may be tried with the accused head of the organization.

Ismael and Gilberto Higuera Guerrero oversaw the importation of tons of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico into the United States, and kidnapped, tortured and killed cartel rivals in the process, prosecutors said.

The brothers were among 15 people extradited from Mexico 1½ weeks ago in an effort to battle lawlessness along the border and in Mexican prisons.
