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.

2 taken into custody in border-area gunfire

By Aaron Mackey
ARIZONA DAILY STAR

A person injured Saturday when a Border Patrol agent fired at an oncoming vehicle was treated at a hospital and released.

That person and a passenger who was in the vehicle at the time remain in custody on unspecified charges.

The agency provided few details Sunday but gave the following account:

Agents tried to stop a Lincoln Navigator driving north on Arizona 286 about 10 miles north of the Sasabe port of entry, said Jesus Rodriguez, a Border Patrol spokesman.

An agent got out of his vehicle and approached the sport utility vehicle, which appeared to have stopped.

The SUV quickly turned around around and came toward the agent, who fired his gun because he felt threatened. The Navigator didn't strike the agent, and was driven away. It was later stopped in Sasabe, Rodriguez said.

Let's watch and see how long it is until some incompetent D.A. offers these "victims" immunity so that they can make headlines by putting another US law enforcement officer in jail. -mm
