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.

Yuma Border Patrol Foils Human Smuggling Attempt

Friday, May 04, 2007

Yuma, Ariz. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol agents assigned to Yuma, Ariz. apprehended 19 illegal aliens and seized a stolen vehicle Tuesday following a smuggling attempt.

Yuma Border Patrol agents, assisted by CBP Yuma Air and Marine Operations air interdiction agents, detected a 2005 Chevrolet pickup entering the United States 16 miles east of the San Luis, Ariz., Port of Entry about 9:30 p.m. The vehicle continued north through the desert and failed to yield when agents attempted a vehicle stop. A query of the vehicle’s license plate number revealed it was stolen.

The vehicle continued into Yuma city limits near 5th Street, where the occupants abandoned the vehicle. The pickup continued rolling into a residential driveway and came to rest after impacting a vehicle awning causing damage to the property. A brief search of the area by agents resulted in the apprehension of the vehicle’s occupants.
