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.

Border Patrol union: Probe into fatal shooting being mishandled

Feb 7, 3:06 AM EST

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A probe into last month's fatal shooting of a Mexican man by a Border Patrol agent near Douglas has been mishandled, according to the agency's union.

Two agents working at the Naco processing center on the night of the incident wrote memos to Tucson Sector Chief Michael Nicley alleging that the Mexican Consulate was allowed to interview some of the six witnesses before U.S. investigators.

Union officials said that would be a breach of protocol and would put the legitimacy of those witnesses' statements in doubt.
