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.

Thursday, November 29, 2007

Tuscon, Ariz. – Border Patrol agents assigned to the Nogales Border Patrol Station arrested an individual early today who has been convicted of sexual abuse.

Border Patrol agents arrested Socorro Morales-Tapia east of Nogales, AZ. She admitted to illegally crossing into the United States east of the Nogales port-of-entry. At the station, record checks through the IAFIS system indicated that Morales was convicted of "inflicting injury upon a child" and "sexual assault and carnal abuse" in California in 1999. She was sentenced to five years in prison.

Morales is being held pending removal proceedings and will be prosecuted for re-entry of an aggravated felon. If convicted, she faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
