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.

ROSARITO BEACH – A top municipal police officer being investigated for participating in an assassination attempt of the city's director of public safety was taken into custody Friday by Mexican soldiers.

Jose Luis Lugo Baez had been serving as a deputy commander of Rosarito Beach's 149-member police department. According to a statement from Baja California's Second Military Zone, the policeman was taken into custody after soldiers searching his house seized a package of marijuana, chargers for automatic weapons, police uniforms, and numerous bullets.

Among the identification cards seized were a California driver's license with a Chula Vista address and a U.S. permanent resident card.
