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.

Nicaragua Says It's Dismantled Drug Cell

Apr 16, 11:37 PM EDT

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) -- Nicaraguan police on Monday announced the arrest of more than two dozen local members of Mexico's powerful Sinaloa drug cartel but said they were still seeking the group's leader.

Among the 26 people detained over the weekend was Mexican national Jose Juvenal Mendoza Gonzalez, the purported chief of territorial logistics for the local group, said National Police Chief Cesar Cuadra.

Also arrested were five other Mexican nationals, two Guatemalans and 16 Nicaraguans, Cuadra said. Still at large was the alleged leader, Carlos Cisnado Pasos.

Authorities on Friday arrested five alleged Mexican members of the cell, including Mendoza Gonzalez, in northern Nicaragua. They also nabbed two Nicaraguans linked to the cell, Cuadra said.
