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.

El Paso, Texas – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers performing anti-terror inspections at El Paso area border ports of entry made six marijuana seizures this weekend, confiscating a total of 2,021 pounds of the drug. CBP officers recorded more than 100 additional violations during a weekend of heavy travel.

The most significant seizure of the weekend happened late Friday night at the Paso Del Norte (PDN) port of entry in El Paso. CBP officers working at the downtown crossing discovered 1,577 pounds of marijuana hidden in a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche that entered the port from Mexico just after 9 p.m. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents arrested 39-year-old Nora G.
