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.

A man charged with the 2003 torture of two illegal immigrants in a Three Points mobile home has pleaded guilty to five felony counts.

Hector Soria, 23, pleaded guilty to torturing, harboring for profit and taking hostage Roselin Rodriguez Bravo, from Chiapas, Mexico, and David Morales of Guatemala, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

At the time of Soria's arrest, Pima County sheriff's deputies said he pulled out Rodriguez's teeth, cut him on the face and chest, pried his toenails with a screwdriver and threatened to castrate him.

I don't care what crime you commit, no one deserves this kind of treatment! -mm
