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.

MONTERREY, Mexico – A state police commander was shot to death by assailants who opened fire on his car in this northern Mexican city, police said Thursday.

Nuevo Leon state police commander Ramiro Calderón, 52, was driving through a residential area in Monterrey when gunmen in at least two cars fired AR15 automatic rifles, killing him instantly, police said.

Calderón, who had been a police officer for 31 years, is the 15th officer killed so far this year in the Monterrey area.

Investigators say the Sinaloa cartel is fighting the Gulf cartel for billion-dollar (euro) drug-smuggling routes into the United States. The battle has led to beheadings, grenade attacks and execution-style killings across Mexico.
