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.

TIJUANA – When Tijuana police detained a man yesterday on a speeding charge, he flashed a badge and claimed to be an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

U.S agents work in the area, but they aren't supposed to be armed. Inside the man's car, police found more than a dozen long knives and martial arts-style daggers, a pistol and cartridges, a ski mask, handcuffs and other weapons.

Mexican authorities contacted their U.S. counterparts, who don't believe that the man – Eric Yahir Bouchot Godinez, 29 – is an agent.
