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.

TUCSON - A former police chief in Mexico could be facing up to five years in prison after allegedly being found with 59 pounds of marijuana, authorities said.

Roberto Tacho Verdugo, 52, was arraigned Monday in U.S. District Court here on a charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

Authorities said Verdugo entered the United States at the Douglas port of entry on Friday and inspectors found 17 bundles of marijuana in the van's gas tank.
