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.

Trial puts spotlight on agents' miscues

Block-long ride over border becomes a federal matter

After a night out in Agua Prieta, Sonora, a little more than two years ago, U.S. Border Patrol senior agent Ephraim Cruz drove a Mexican woman across the border to Douglas.

Cruz knew the woman, Maria De Socorro Terrazas-Orozco. She had been dating a different Border Patrol agent and had been involved with several others in the past. She also worked at a Douglas diner that is popular among Border Patrol officers.

When Cruz saw her Jan. 22, 2005, she and a friend were walking toward the border, and so the ride he gave her was only for a block or so.

But it crossed the international line, and now Cruz is on trial for it.
