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.

A man and a woman were arrested after El Paso police found 67 pounds of marijuana Sunday afternoon while responding to a call of a possible burglary and kidnapping at a home in the 1700 block of Ruddy Quail Lane on the far East Side, a police spokesman said.

Police found no burglary or kidnapping but found the drugs when they went into a home after a woman matched the description in a supposed kidnapping involving a white pickup. Inside the garage, police found a man hiding and a white pickup with marijuana.

Jorge Daniel Hernandez, 21, of Juárez, and Veronica Gallegos, 25, of the Ruddy Quail address, were charged with possession of more than 50 pounds of marijuana.
