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.

Court told of entrant smugglers' infighting

By Jacques Billeaud

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLORENCE — An entrant smuggler who led one of the most violent episodes in human trafficking in recent years hunted down rival smugglers because they had repeatedly kidnapped his customers, a witness testified Friday at a sentencing hearing.

Jose Angel Molina-Gastelum, 31, from the west-coast Mexican state of Sinaloa, pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of four people on Interstate 10 near Casa Grande on Nov. 4, 2003.

The attack was retaliation against a smuggling organization that had stolen about 20 illegal entrants from another group, which eventually tracked down and opened fire on the two moving vehicles that were carrying their customers, authorities said.
