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.

U.S. Border Patrol agents seized 1,100 pounds of marijuana worth about $879,000 around 10 p.m. Wednesday about 45 miles east of Wellton.

Agents responded to an activated ground sensor and discovered vehicle tracks leading to an unoccupied gray 2006 Ford F-250. Agents found 62 packages of marijuana inside the passenger compartment and bed of the truck, according to a news release.

The truck and drugs were transported to the Wellton Border Patrol Station and then turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the release said.
