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.

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

San Clemente, Calif. — At 5 p.m on Monday, Border Patrol agents seized $109, 944 after the driver of a Toyota Camry tried to avoid inspection at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

Agents stopped the Toyota Camry with two occupants and referred them to secondary inspection where a Border Patrol canine alerted on the vehicle. Agents found a suitcase containing the money in the trunk of the vehicle. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents conducted an investigation and determined the money was connected to the proceeds of narcotics sales. The DEA took custody of the cash seizure.

Agents relinquished the driver to the Vista Detention Facility after discovering that he was wanted on a felony warrant out of Nevada. The passenger was released.
