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.

CBP Officers at El Paso Port of Entry Seize 90 Pounds of Cocaine in Three Busts

Friday, May 04, 2007

El Paso, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the El Paso port of entry seized 90 pounds of cocaine this week in three separate seizures. They also seized 2,835 pounds of marijuana in 29 busts, a small quantity of methamphetamine in two seizures, and Ketamine and other prescription drugs in two additional busts during the last seven days.

The largest cocaine seizure of the week occurred Monday at the Paso Del Norte crossing in downtown El Paso when CBP officers discovered 36.7 pounds of the drug concealed in a 1999 Pontiac Montana minivan. CBP officers removed a total of 15 cocaine-filled bundles from a pair of hidden compartments in the vehicle. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents arrested the driver, 32-year-old Luz E. Moreno of Las Cruces, New Mexico in connection with the failed smuggling attempt.
