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.

MEXICO CITY – Three high-ranking state police commanders and a former police chief were being held for questioning on Sunday in the attempted killing of the Tabasco state secretary of public security, after hundreds of soldiers and federal agents raided the police headquarters the day before.

The raid was the latest in a series of similar operations President Felipe Calderon has ordered to counter the influence of drug cartels in state and local police forces. "It's part of the general strategy to go into the states that have problems with narcotics traffickers," said Miguel Monterrubio, a spokesman for the president.

On March 6, gunmen yet to be identified tried to kill Francisco Fernandez Solis, the secretary of public security who took office only a few months ago. Fernandez Solis survived the ambush, but his driver was killed.
