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 convicted leader of an El Paso-Juárez drug ring that included a Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission employee was sentenced to life in prison Friday, U.S. attorney officials said.

Hector Marquez Ramos was convicted last September of conspiracy to possess, distribute and import marijuana. He was also convicted of conspiracy to kill Maria Elidia Liuzza, 47, at the Juárez house of his brother, Mario Marquez, who is a fugitive. Also sentenced Friday was former El Paso real estate agent Horacio Fernandez, who received more than 13 years in federal prison.
