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.

TUCSON - Lawyers prosecuting a Border Patrol agent charged with fatally shooting an illegal immigrant have asked a federal judge to compel the FBI to provide subpoenaed materials it refused to turn over.

The FBI conducted its own investigation into the January 2007 shooting of Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera because of the possibility of civil rights violations.

Agent Nicholas W. Corbett faces trial Feb. 26 in U.S. District Court after Judge David C. Bury denied a defense motion to delay its start. Corbett, 40, has pleaded innocent to charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide.
