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.

2 tons of pot seized NW of Tucson

ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents found 2 tons of marijuana last week inside a Northwest Side house they believe was being used as part of a larger drug-smuggling scheme.

After receiving a tip, agents arrived to a sprawling stucco home at 10100 N. Camino de Oeste, where they smelled a strong marijuana odor coming from inside, an ICE press release said. They found 170 bales of marijuana throughout the house that weighed close to 4,000 pounds, and a machine to wrap marijuana into bundles in one of the rooms.

Agents also seized two vehicles, a currency counter and numerous records and documents. The house was empty at the time the search warrant was executed, and no arrests were made.
