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 police commander is among five Juárez municipal police officers facing charges of framing a man in the fatal shooting of a woman earlier this week, the Chihuahua attorney general's office and police officials said.

The attorney general's office said in a statement on Friday that an ongoing investigation could expand to six more officers.

"For the good police officers that risk their lives daily for the citizenry, all our respect and support. For those officers who don't understand why they are in the police and are bad officers, the full force of the law," police Chief Marco Antonio Torres Moreno said.

The case stems from Wednesday's shooting that killed 34-year-old Monserrat Morales Arellanes and wounded her brother, 41-year-old Martin Morales Arellanes. Investigators had said the pair were involved in a dispute with neighbors over the killing of a dog.
