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.

The Bureau of Prisons said the injuries suffered by former El Paso Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos during a prison beating Saturday were minor.

The incident occurred at 10:15 p.m. in the federal prison complex in Yazoo City, Miss., where Ramos was transferred eight days ago.

Ramos' family said they learned of the prison attack Monday when Ramos was allowed to call his family because it was his 38th birthday. Family members said Ramos told them he was in bed when he was kicked and punched by about five inmates, one of whom he was able to identify. He told his family he was bleeding from an ear and had severe headaches from the beating.

Who puts a jailed law enforcement officer in with the general population in the first place? This has been a debacle from the onset! -mm
