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.

SWAT teams evacuated 22 undocumented immigrants in west Phoenix on Monday night after it was believed that two armed men were holding them hostage, Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

Hill said that the situation began at about 3:45 p.m. when a 911 call reported that three men in a white Toyota Tacoma pulled alongside a fourth man and attacked him. The man who was attacked took police to a house on Sells Drive near 83rd Avenue, where it was believed that two armed men were holding several people hostage.

SWAT teams entered the home and evacuated 22 people believed to be undocumented immigrants, Hill said. One possible suspect was apprehended. According to police, no weapons were found in a search of the household.
