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.

Operation Streamline Nets 1,200-Plus Prosecutions in Arizona

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Yuma, Ariz. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection Border Patrol’s Yuma, Ariz. sector recently expanded Operation Streamline, which has resulted in the prosecution of more than 1,200 illegal immigrants since the operation began in December 2006.

Modeled after the highly successful operation that began in the Border Patrol’s Del Rio, Texas, sector in December 2005, the operation targets illegal immigrants apprehended in specific enforcement zones for immediate prosecution for illegal entry. Violators face punishment of up to 180 days in jail. Additionally, deportation procedures are initiated to formally remove the individual once they complete their jail sentence.
