The Secretary of Defense, Luis Cresentcio Sandoval, assured that the National Guard can stop people without documents
in the northern and southern borders of Mexico to stop the migratory flow.
During the morning conference that took place in Quintana Roo, Cresencio Sandoval stressed that the work is done in collaboration
with staff of the National Institute of Migration, which has a small number of staff.
The Secretary of Defense assured that they only detain migrants whom they put at the disposal of the INM because they are not committing a crime.
"We have the deployment to the Isthmus doing the same task, relying on the transition that allows us to work in the field of public security
and we can do this coadyuvancia considering that migration is not a crime, it is an administrative fault.
"Then we stop them, we put them at the disposal of the authorities so that they can carry out their normal procedure
that must be done and the authorities will determine what will be developed in the future," he said.
On the southern border, on the border with Guatemala and Belize, they deployed 2 thousand elements of the National Guard
and added 4,500 more to the interior of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
while on the border with the United States there are 15,000 elements of federal forces to stop irregular migration.
"We detect them in this collaboration with the National Institute of Migration, which are migrants who have a non-regular movement,
who do not have their documentation in order and we put them at the disposal of the corresponding authority," he added.

EU will send 89 agents to Guatemala to reduce migratory flows
This measure is implemented as part of a two-year agreement between both countries

Up to 89 US immigration and customs agents will be sent to Guatemala by the end of August as part of a two-year agreement
between the two countries to try to reduce migratory flows to the north, according to a document.
The cooperation memorandum, signed on May 27 in Guatemala City between the Department of National Security of the United States (DHS)
and the Ministry of the Interior of the Central American country,
aims to increase border security, counteract trafficking and illicit trafficking of people, drug trafficking and the illegal arms trade.
In a first phase of the so-called "Irregular Migration Mitigation Plan", which can be extended,
will be deployed up to 49 customs and border protection (CBP, for its acronym in English) and immigration (ICE, for its acronym in Spanish) English).
The second phase, which starts this week, considers increasing up to 89 CBP and ICE agents until the end of August.
Those uniformed will provide advice, investigation and tutoring to their Guatemalan counterparts
for detention and operations against the networks that illegally transfer migrants.
Responsible resignation of the border patrol and US customs head.
In addition, the document states that each country will be responsible for the costs of implementing the agreement.
The Acting Secretary of National Security of the United States, Kevin McAleenan,
who signed the cooperation memorandum from the United States, will return to Guatemala on Wednesday
for a second meeting on migration in which the security ministers of El Salvador and Honduras will also participate. .
The talk will be held in the midst of discussions between Guatemalan and US authorities to determine if Guatemala can be considered
a "third safe country" to receive the thousands of migrants that the Donald Trump government intends to deport.
At the beginning of June, the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce the flow of migrants who escape poverty and violence
in Central America and, crossing Mexico, reach the north in search of a better future.
As part of the agreement, Mexico committed to strengthening its border with Guatemala by sending thousands of troops
from its newly created National Guard and expanding the Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP) program,
which allows the United States to send to Mexican soil to asylum seekers while awaiting their immigration trials.

Customs and Border Protection boss out amid controversy over detention conditions
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/customs-and-border-protection-boss-out-amid-outrage-over-border-issues
DHS source says CBP acting commissioner will step down
John Sanders, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, has only been on the job for about two months;
Kristin Fisher reports from the White House.
Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner John Sanders has resigned amid ongoing controversy
over federal detention conditions along the Mexican border.
Sanders told CBP employees that he tendered his resignation on Monday and that it will be effective July 5.
HOUSE LAWMAKERS TRADE ACCUSATIONS AMID SCRAMBLE TO PASS $4.5B BORDER BILL: 'PLAYING GAMES'
"Although I will leave it to you to determine whether I was successful,
I can unequivocally say that helping support the amazing men and women of CBP
has been the most fulfilling and satisfying opportunity of my career," he said in a statement.
President Trump said Tuesday afternoon that he knew changes were imminent at CBP, but that he did not tell Sanders to step down.

and said in a message to CBP employees Tuesday that he would resign on July 5. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
The news comes amid reports about unsanitary conditions at a Border Patrol station in Clint, Texas.
Lawyers who visited facilities where migrant children were being held last week described squalid conditions to The Associated Press,
which first reported on the complaints.
The conditions at the station in Clint included inadequate food, lack of medical care, and older children trying to care for toddlers.
Many children were moved out of the facility in recent days. But CBP then said officials had moved more than 100 kids back to the station.
Trump said he was "very concerned" about the current conditions of border detention facilities,
but claimed they were even worse during President Obama's administration.
The resignation came as House lawmakers were scrambling to pass a $4.5 billion funding bill to combat the escalating humanitarian crisis at the border —
with Republicans accusing Democrats of "playing games" with the crisis, and Democrats urging their GOP counterparts to "show some decency."
"I'm calling on the speaker not to play politics, to take the Senate bill and that can become law, and that can help humanitarian aid along the border,"
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said at a Republican press conference. "This is not the time to play politics."
At a separate press conference, Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.,
pushed for Republicans "to show some decency, show some strength, stop acting like you're part of a cult
and start acting like a separate and co-equal branch of government that has a responsibility to allocate funds in a humane manner."
On Monday night, the White House issued a statement saying it would veto the House bill in its current state, citing the restrictions.
The administration's immigration agencies are currently at the center of numerous controversies, and gripped with turmoil.
ACTING ICE DIRECTOR: DETAILED LEAK ABOUT PLANNED RAIDS WAS 'EGREGIOUS,' PUT AGENTS' LIVES AT RISK
Fox News reported Monday that Sanders' predecessor, current acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan,
was accused of leaking plans last week for scheduled Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids,
after expressing fierce opposition and allegedly ordering top officials to "stand down" on the operation.
President Trump hit pause on those raids over the weekend, holding out for the possibility of a legislative solution.

"Considering that migration is not a crime, it is an administrative fault.
Then, we only stop them, we put them at the disposal of the authorities so that they can carry out their normal procedure that must be done
or the authorities will determine what will be developed in the future for these migrants, "commented Sandoval.
He acknowledged that also on the northern border is acting to contain migrants trying to reach the United States,
as captured in a photograph where soldiers try to stop migrants seeking passage to the United States.
"And it's the same in the northern part of the country.
We also have a total deployment between National Guard and army units of 14 thousand,
almost 15 thousand men in the northern part of the country, "the General Secretary said.

SEATTLE (AP) - Authorities say a man convicted of raping a Seattle-area woman tracked the victim down and attacked her
three days after he was released from jail.
The Seattle Times reports police are looking for 35-year-old Francisco Carranza-Ramirez
who is wanted on charges of assault, harassment and intimidating a witness.
Authorities say the 32-year-old victim was strangled and beaten outside her White Center apartment building
and in front of her toddler Sunday.

The King County Sheriff's Office says the victim was moved to a safe location after she was released from the hospital.
Carranza-Ramirez was ordered to return to Mexico after he was released last week.
He was convicted of third-degree rape from the September 2018 attack.
Authorities say Carranza-Ramirez is believed to still be in the White Center area.

The King County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Francisco Carranza-Ramirez
after he allegedly attacked a woman two days after he was released from jail for raping her last year.
A warrant was issued Monday for a White Center man who allegedly attacked a 32-year-old woman in her wheelchair
three days after he was released from jail for raping her last year.
Francisco Carranza-Ramirez, 35, pleaded guilty in February to third-degree rape
and was set to be sentenced to 12 months in jail,
with the time he had spent in King County Jail since Sept. 27, 2018 to count toward the sentence, court documents said.
The standard range for third-degree rape is 6-12 months.
However, a recommendation from Carranza-Ramirez's attorney helped grant a conditional release for him.
As Carranza-Ramirez had little financial help and no housing in the U.S.,
his defense said he would move to Mexico with financial aid from his family.

HUNDREDS OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS CARRY CRIMINAL HISTORIES, DHS INVESTIGATION FINDS
June 20, 20191,303 Views
https://theusawire.com/2019/06/12090-hundreds-of-illegal-migrants-carry-criminal-histories-dhs-investigation-finds/
Hundreds of migrants who were part of U.S.-bound caravans carried serious criminal convictions, an internal investigation
from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), two agencies under DHS,
conducted an investigation into two different caravans from Central America that were bound for the U.S.
Their findings revealed hundreds of those individuals carried criminal histories, including murder, aggravated assault and sexual offenses.
The figures specifically refer to criminal acts already committed in the U.S.
The discoveries were detailed in a letter from members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform,
and obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Out of the nearly 8,000 members within a caravan that reached south of California in October 2018, ICE Homeland Security Investigations
found that 660 already had run-ins with the law in the U.S.
Of those, nearly 40 were convicted of assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Three of them were convicted for murder.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations also tracked a migrant caravan from Honduras in January 2019.
Of the more than 3,300 individuals in the caravan, 860 were found to have criminal histories in the U.S.,
including 30 convicted of sexual offenses, 20 convicted of assault and aggravated assault and one convicted of attempted murder.
"These incidents are continuing," the letter read. "CBP is currently monitoring another 'movement of several groups
ranging in size from 1,000 to 4,000' in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Veracruz. T
he documents did not specify how many migrants are believed to have criminal records."

The letter — which was delivered to Homeland Security Acting Director Kevin McAleenan on Thursday
— asks DHS to provide more information regarding the criminal history of members in the January 2019 caravan,
and to provide more information on the migrant caravans currently moving northward in Chiapas and Veracruz.
The new information comes as the Trump administration is preparing a massive operation
to apprehend and deport "millions" of illegal immigrants living in the country.
President Donald Trump announced the plan on Monday night, and ICE later confirmed it will be taking place.
(RELATED: Study: The US Is No Longer The Top Destination For Refugees)
"At this point right now … we have really no other choice but to use our enforcement statutory authority
to identify where these individuals are and remove them," ICE Acting Director Mark Morgan said to reporters on Wednesday.
"President Trump's executive order has made it clear: No class of individual is exempt from our federal immigration statutes."

Mexico City. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, said that Mexico will allocate 100 million dollars
for development in Central America.
During the morning conference of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador at the National Palace,
the foreign minister recalled that the special program has five areas.
In this regard, he reported that the deployment of the National Guard is already finished, as had been anticipated.
The National Institute of Migration (INM) said that it has already completed 650 facilities for the regulatory function.
The third area has to do with the support to the communities in the north of the country where the asylum seekers
sent from the United States are waiting for a response to their processes.
They are received by three points and up to now they are 14 thousand, from January 29 to June 20.
The fourth issue is related to development in the south of the country.
The President ordered that the program be extended.
In the fifth area, Ebrard mentioned, he met with the Secretary General of the United Nations
for his support of the plan for the southern border of Mexico,
especially for economic development and child care.
UNICEF will support the installation and operation of the schools.
"There are 17 UN agencies that are participating in the plan for southern Mexico and Central America," he said.
Regarding this region, he indicated that 100 million dollars will be invested for the development plan.
What we want to demonstrate, he said, is that these actions, such as Sowing Life, ( Sembrando vida )
can give results in the short term, particularly to tackle the effects of climate change.
Next week, Mexico will be providing resources and will become the main driver of cooperation projects
for development in the area to generate life opportunities, with the support of the United Nations.
He specified that the resources of the Yucatan Fund are included in the Federal Expenditure Budget
for the development of Central America.

Opinion: Trump's tariff threat is a dumb way to extort Mexico

Sometimes coming up with just the right lead for a column can be tough. Sometimes my cup runneth over.
For this piece, I have at least three strong options.
• Trade policy by Tweet is just plain dumb.
• Why wouldn't President Trump try to extort one of America's closest allies?
• What gives our government the right to violate Mexico's sovereignty?
( But it's ok if they violate our sovereignty !)
The topic du jour is President Trump's proclamation-by-tweet that he was planning to impose punishing tariffs, aka taxes,
on Mexican imports to the United States if they didn't put a stop to refugees fleeing the chaos, violence and poverty raging in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
Trump's nonsensical scheme is on hold for now, but if it does go into effect, according to most sensible economists,
it could trigger the loss of hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs.

Mexico's Senate approves trade deal with US, Canada
In Arizona alone, which does about $16 billion in annual trade with Mexico, experts say Trump's initial threat of a 5% tariff
(which would rise to 25% if he doesn't get his way) could cost at least 6,000 trade-related jobs statewide.
A 5% tariff, according to Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Glenn Hamer, would equate to a $450 million tax on Mexican imports.
Add to that the havoc the tariffs would wreak on Mexico's economy, leading to a potential increase in immigration from Mexico
and a strain on the federal budget there that would leave less money to address the issue of refugees passing through Mexico on their way to the United States.
In other words, Trump's plan would accomplish precisely the opposite of the president's stated goal: cutting immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Admittedly, I'm no expert on the economy. So, what do the actual experts have to say?
Hamer called Trump's tariff plan "baffling" and "terribly damaging." Arizona State University economist Dennis Hoffman,
in an interview with Fox 10 in Phoenix, said, "At the end of the day, it leaves … [American consumers] with less dollars in their pockets to spend on other goods."
Kind of like taxes.
"It's difficult to understand," Hoffman said, "why you want to make the economy be held hostage to this process of negotiation."
"Hostage" is a strong word. Here's another one: extortion.
I know, extortion is such an ugly word. It's an even uglier thing to do to your friends. But that's exactly what Trump is doing to Mexico.
In Trump's hands, tariffs are like a loaded gun, and it's a weapon he's used time and again to bully international allies
and adversaries alike, including Canada and China. In Mexico's case,
Trump's ultimatum amounts to a de facto violation of that country's sovereignty by ordering a longstanding ally to lock down its border with Guatemala.
Shouldn't that decision be left to Mexico's president and its Congress?
It's as if Trump has his tariff gun pointed right at Mexico's head and he is saying:
"Keep the refugees from crossing the border or else your economy gets it!"
Yikes! I think he really means it! Or does he?
Just days before the tariffs were slated to go into effect, Trump called the whole thing off. Huh? What gives?
Did the president finally come to his senses? Don't get carried away.
Enter stage right, GOP U.S. Senate heavyweights who only care about two things more than Trump appointing conservative Supreme Court judges:
making money and getting reelected.
Since Trump's tariffs help Republicans do neither, Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz pushed back.
So did Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Sonora Gov. Claudia Pavlovich.
Even Arizona's Republican U.S. Sen. Martha McSally balked at Trump's tariff proposal.
Yup, the same Martha McSally who groveled at Trump's feet to get his endorsement in her 2018 bid to replace Sen. Jeff Flake
(before losing that race to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and getting appointed to replace the late Sen. John McCain).
Why are some key Republicans finally willing to challenge Trumponomics?
It might have something to do with the $671 billion in annual U.S.-Mexico trade of goods and services and the millions of jobs in our country tied to that trade.
Oddly, there's one GOP politico who didn't challenge Trump's extort-the-Mexicans tariff plan: Gov. Doug Ducey.
That's odd, I thought he was an avowed free-trade, pro-business, pro-Mexico, anti-tax capitalist.
Don't worry. It turns out that Ducey's pro-free trade persona is just incognito, according conservative political consultant Chuck Coughlin.
Speaking on KJZZ last week, Coughlin defended Ducey by saying, "Criticizing the Republican president gets you nothing."
Translation: Ducey knows the president's tariff threat is wrong, but he's not willing to stand up for the people of Arizona,
even if Trump's plan could cost us thousands of jobs, because he'd rather curry favor with Trump than protect the economic prosperity of Arizona and Mexico.
Wait, who does Ducey represent?
In the end, the dumbest thing about Trump's plan is that it won't work.
Take it from the thousands of refugees flocking to our border from Central America:
the last thing on their minds when deciding to walk the 2,500-plus miles from Honduras to Tijuana with their families in tow
is whether American consumers are going to have to pay more for Mexican exports like cars and washing machines.
While folks like Trump and Ducey are worried about covering their far-right flanks as they chart their political future,
refugees have more important things to worry about: like staying alive and feeding their families.

Private Border Causes Problems in New Mexico Town
JUNE 11, 2019 BY RIGHTON
https://rightonnews.com/2019/06/11/private-border-causes-problems-in-new-mexico-town/
Throughout the week last week and into the weekend, Sunland Park, New Mexico's mayor and administration
were swamped with phone calls and death threats concerning the city's major problem with illegal immigration.
The Mayor, Javier Perea, was accused of being involved with the cartels. Between him and the administration,
they received these phone calls from all over America.
The phone calls were an effort to get a border wall approved to stop illegals from flooding the city and the country.
A group of people came together to form an organization called We Build the Wall
and put up a twenty-foot fence along the mountainside outside the city limits.
The quiet town became a national sensation when the group announced the border fence as the first fence built privately to protect the border.
But it did not last for long because the city put a halt on all construction to allow the mayor and his administration to evaluate the laws for the fence.
This angered the group's founder and president, Brian Kolfage as he began shooting tweets about the New Mexico town being corrupt.
He was upset the project was being stopped, and that is when the death threats started by phone calls for the town's mayor Javier Perea.
Police Chief Javier Guerra told reporters an anonymous phone call came through stating the city was "involved in organized crime,"
and they sent out a death threat for Perea and his family.
Guerra stated the call was untraceable, and he put a patrol unit near the mayor's home for their safety.
Perea stated, "The threats and name-calling are a cheap blow to the city of Sunland Park.
But I am not going to stoop to that level. I am not going there."
The organization of We Build the Wall started when the founder and creator Brian Kolfage, an Air Force veteran
got together with a former Secretary of State from Kansas, Kris Kobach, and Steve Bannon who was a former White House strategist.
They all shared the same idea as many people do about the border. Our country needs protection,
and they said by building a wall, migrants will not want to cross the border where they cannot get in.
Kobach told of how the idea and project came about. The nonprofit organization came to Sunland Park on April 6.
Fifty-seven days later the project started. On Memorial Day weekend, the fence was constructed,
and the announcement to have it up was made on Memorial Day.
The property is owned by American Eagle where the 20-foot fence is being built.
The operation is against Mount Cristo Rey, which is where Catholics gather and sits between three states.
It is also on the border of the United States and Mexico. T
he area is also known as Monument One which is a federal marker and is the boundary near the property where the business operates.
The city's planning commission will hear from the developers and the public
so they can gather all the information to bring before the City Council for a vote.
They will also evaluate the size of the fence and time it takes to have it up.
Kobach claimed the project was brought up before President Donald Trump as he stated at a news conference,
"He has told me several times, that he 100% endorses what We Build the Wall is doing."
A Sunland Park resident, Carmen Marquez told reporters,
"The private border fence casts a bad light on the city. I am worried about how the city is being perceived,
and the way We Build the Wall treated Sunland Park was filthy. They (We Build the Wall) don't care."
She was just one of the few who was against the border fence.
Many more support the project and stated their claims as the construction of the border fence continued.
Members from Angel Families spoke in favor of the wall at the news conference.
Mary Ann Mendoza, who is an advisory board member of the nonprofit organization,
stated, "My son's life was snuffed out in 2014 by a drunk repeat illegal alien criminal who was allowed to stay in our country.
We are all in support of legal immigration. Illegal immigration is what we don't accept.
It is a criminal act in itself, and we need to stop the flow.
This (the wall) is a beautiful thing and has affected every Angel Family."
This is just one of the many stories which hold the truth in the group's support.

African migrants pass through San Antonio and swiftly fan out across the country
by Anna Giaritelli

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/african-migrants-pass-through-san-antonio-and-swiftly-fan-out-across-the-country
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Roughly 300 Congolese and Angolan citizens who arrived in San Antonio the first week of June
after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border days earlier have all briskly departed the city for destinations across the country,
some with fuzzy plans based partly on hope.
The hundreds of family members and single adults from Central Africa first showed up June 4
at the southern border's Eagle Pass and Del Rio towns in south-central Texas.
The migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents and claimed asylum after crossing the Rio Grande.
The agency did not, as it is supposed to, turn families over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Instead, it released families onto the streets of Eagle Pass and Del Rio, according to two government a
nd nongovernment officials with first-hand knowledge of the matter.
The African migrants then bought bus tickets to either San Antonio or Austin, according to San Antonio Interim Assistant City Manager Colleen Bridger.
"If — a family, the sponsor — it's been 24-48 hours and they can't buy the [bus] ticket, then we'll buy it,"
Elizabeth Nemeth, executive director of Catholic Charities' west side center, told the Washington Examiner Thursday.
For a family of five to seven looking to travel by bus to New York, it will cost $2,000, she said.
While many Central American families who arrive have final destinations and family members
in mind who could pay for their tickets and put them up, the African families did not always have quite as clearly defined plans.
"They come with a place in mind. 'My friend told me to go to Portland, Maine,
because there's a lot of Congolese families that already live there and it's welcoming," said Nemeth.
"And they have that plan in mind, right? But they don't understand the geography — like where it is, how much it costs to get there.
There's a lot of misconceptions. They may think, 'I have a friend there,' but they don't have a friend's phone number …
[We can look into] what is their last name, phone book, call shelter and ask about them, connect the dots.
I wouldn't say that we're just putting them randomly. They have an idea."
The African migrants are spending six to seven months traveling to Brazil then up to the U.S.
Those entering the U.S. through this route did so because they "were scared the [refugee] process was not gonna work, or that it's last a standstill,"
said Christina Higgs, Catholic Charities spokeswoman for the San Antonio region.
Some worried traveling to or through Europe was "getting really dangerous."
"He used the term, and I hate to say it, but they were trying to hedge their bets by coming his way
and see if they couldn't get here that way," she added.
Officials from the city and local organizations expect Africans to continue arriving in San Antonio.

DEA seizes 73,000 pills in Arizona's biggest fentanyl bust

KNXV DEA Major Bust 6-12-19.png
Drug Enforcement Administration agents say they seize thousands of the dangerous pills at a time,
and have arrested hundreds for selling fentanyl in Arizona.
This week, agents broke a record -- seizing more than 73,000 pills in southern Arizona in just one bust.
Special agent Doug Coleman calls it a Catch-22. "We seized a bunch of dope, we saved a bunch of lives," he said.
"On the other hand, it's disheartening because it means that there is more and more of this coming across and bigger and bigger quantities."
Coleman says a majority of fentanyl is being smuggled into Arizona from the southern border,
making the Valley one of the most common areas with consistent trafficking of the drug.
DEA agents say this much fentanyl is worth more than $1 million, and even one pill could kill.
But now, drug makers are getting smarter, manufacturing the drug to look almost identical to pharmaceuticals or other, less harmful drugs.
"More and more Americans are going to die from this for a while until we get this problem under control," said Coleman.
"You don't know if that pill has one milligram of fentanyl in it, or if it has six milligrams," he added.
"You'll survive exposure to one, you won't survive exposure to six."
Their agents take special precaution when handling the substance, wearing protective suits, gloves
and even gas masks to prevent exposure.
After each arrest, the DEA says the drugs are taken to a lab for testing to find out how much fentanyl each pill contains,
and after court proceedings wrap up on a case, the drugs are destroyed.

DOUGLAS, Ariz. – A bloody gun battle in the border town of Agua Prieta, just across from Douglas,
claimed the lives of nearly a dozen people.
Three others were taken to the port of entry and transported to hospitals in the United States
including a 12-year-old boy who was airlifted to Tucson.
Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels told News 4 Tucson, the gun battle started Monday afternoon.
He said they received information that the gun battle was the result of an internal rift within the Sinaloa cartel.
Sources told News 4 Tucson four cartel members showed up at the port of entry asking for asylum and claimed "credible fear".
Authorities took them into custody.
The Sinaloa drug cartel is the most ruthless and dangerous of the cartels. Evident by Monday's gun battle in broad daylight.
He recounted an incident that occurred "one of the victims that had been shot was taken to a hospital in Agua Prieta,"
Dannels said. "The cartel members who wanted him dead followed him to the hospital where they shot and killed him."
A vehicle involved in Monday's shootout in Agua Prieta.
Most people on both sides of the border say they are scared.
The Douglas/Agua Prieta communities are connected.
Most of the residents travel back and forth on a daily basis whether it is to buy groceries or go to the doctors.
One Agua Prieta resident said she crosses the border minimum twice a day.
She drops off her daughter at school and then picks her up.
So even though she's frightened about the shootout she says she will have to be extra cautious
and hope she nor family members get caught in the crossfire should this happen again.
A Douglas resident told News 4 Tucson he's having second thoughts about going into Agua Prieta.
He adds he wants to feel safe and at this time he is just not feeling that.
Sheriff Dannels said he along with other law enforcement agencies are responsible for the safety and security of the public
and intends to continue working with the law-enforcement partners to make sure the residents are safe.

A child was found dead near the Arizona-Mexico border Wednesday morning.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents reported they found two women from India who told them the girl was traveling with others
after being dropped off by smugglers. The smugglers ordered the group to cross the border in a location that was dangerous.
The women told agents a woman and two children separated from them a few hours earlier.
CBP said the women were taken into custody as they started the search for the others.
Soon after, the girl's remains were found by the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
Her body was found a mile away from the border. She was believed to be 7 years old.
They also found footprints that showed two people had crossed back into Mexico.

Temporary processing facility to hold 500 and include playground

YUMA, Ariz. - Yuma Sector Border Patrol confirmed that instead of the temporary processing center
holding nearly 1,000 detainees, the facility will only hold 500 and have a playground inside.
The temporary facility, being described by agents as soft-sided, will be an addition to the Yuma station.
This will bring the total holding capacity to about 900, between the Yuma, Wellton, and Blythe stations.
Agents said the facility will help them spread out the detainees they have in their custody.
"Just a couple of weeks ago we were seeing over 16,000 illegal aliens in our custody.
We are severely over capacity and this facility will help us alleviate some of that pressure on our border patrol stations,"
said Agent Jose Garibay, Yuma Sector Border Patrol.
Agents added this additional processing facility does not mean they will be able to house those in their custody for a longer period of time.
They said if the situation worsens, they will reassess what is needed to handle the trend along the southern border.
In May, Yuma Sector agents apprehended 5,972 people.
That number is about 15 times the capacity of the three stations only meant to hold 410 people
An official date for the facility to be up and running is still unknown.

Nearly 133-thousand people apprehended by CBP in May

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -
President Trump tweeted Friday he is dropping tariffs on Mexican goods after the country agreed to step up efforts
to stop migrants from entering the U.S.
This may help ease a flood of people coming into the U.S. from Central America.
The numbers haven't looked like this in more than a decade.
Nearly 133-thousand people apprehended by customs and border protection for crossing into the U.S. illegally
in just the month of May.
Families make up the majority of those who cross, more than 11-thousand of them, unaccompanied children.
The acting CBP commissioner, calling it quote: a "full-blown emergency."
Government processing centers and shelters overcrowded, some to dangerous levels,
with unsanitary and unsafe conditions,
according to the department of homeland security's watchdog agency.
"It was so crowded my son had to sleep standing up," said Belkys Castro, a migrant.
Belkys Castro, from Honduras, crossed over into Texas with her two sons in hopes of getting to family in Houston.
Instead, she, along with hundreds of other migrant families were flown to California to make room.
Michael Hopkins with Jewish Family Service said, "We didn't realize that folks would be flown into San Diego.
San Diego's a great place to live. So, it did take us by surprise, but it's apparently 3 planeloads a week.
It's around 135-150 per planeload. We've given up on a logic model to this whole matter.
There is no logic model."
The reasons for the surge in migration are layered.
Right now, people who live in Guatemala and Honduras are facing intense economic and environmental conditions.
With ever-present violence and a drought that is limiting food availability.
Critics of the white house say this most recent extreme spike in movement is a direct result of the president's policies.
Sen. Jeff Merkley, (D) Oregon, said, "They're saying the big change is the message that this is your last chance.
President Trump, if you're ever going to escape these dire circumstances.
You have to come now."
As president trump focuses on beefing up security, a wall, more border patrol agents and adding u-s troops.
Brig. Gen. Walter Duzzny with the US Army said,
"Today we have approximately 2000 service members supporting the mission along the southwest border."
Experts say smugglers are becoming more sophisticated.
It is likely they won't be deported in large numbers, at least right away.

Mexico has agreed to deploy its national guard to the country's southern border to stop central American migrants there.
Mexico will also accept migrants turned away at the U.S. border as they await consideration of their asylum claims.

YUMA, Ariz. - Yuma Sector Border Patrol confirmed that instead of the temporary processing center
holding nearly 1,000 detainees, the facility will only hold 500 and have a playground inside.
The temporary facility, being described by agents as soft-sided, will be an addition to the Yuma station.
This will bring the total holding capacity to about 900, between the Yuma, Wellton, and Blythe stations.
Agents said the facility will help them spread out the detainees they have in their custody.
"Just a couple of weeks ago we were seeing over 16,000 illegal aliens in our custody.
We are severely over capacity and this facility will help us alleviate some of that pressure on our border patrol stations,"
said Agent Jose Garibay, Yuma Sector Border Patrol.
Agents added this additional processing facility does not mean they will be able to house those in their custody for a longer period of time.
They said if the situation worsens, they will reassess what is needed to handle the trend along the southern border.
In May, Yuma Sector agents apprehended 5,972 people.
That number is about 15 times the capacity of the three stations only meant to hold 410 people
An official date for the facility to be up and running is still unknown.

Nearly 133-thousand people apprehended by CBP in May

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -
President Trump tweeted Friday he is dropping tariffs on Mexican goods after the country agreed to step up efforts
to stop migrants from entering the U.S.
This may help ease a flood of people coming into the U.S. from Central America.
The numbers haven't looked like this in more than a decade.
Nearly 133-thousand people apprehended by customs and border protection for crossing into the U.S. illegally
in just the month of May.
Families make up the majority of those who cross, more than 11-thousand of them, unaccompanied children.
The acting CBP commissioner, calling it quote: a "full-blown emergency."
Government processing centers and shelters overcrowded, some to dangerous levels,
with unsanitary and unsafe conditions,
according to the department of homeland security's watchdog agency.
"It was so crowded my son had to sleep standing up," said Belkys Castro, a migrant.
Belkys Castro, from Honduras, crossed over into Texas with her two sons in hopes of getting to family in Houston.
Instead, she, along with hundreds of other migrant families were flown to California to make room.
Michael Hopkins with Jewish Family Service said, "We didn't realize that folks would be flown into San Diego.
San Diego's a great place to live. So, it did take us by surprise, but it's apparently 3 planeloads a week.
It's around 135-150 per planeload. We've given up on a logic model to this whole matter.
There is no logic model."
The reasons for the surge in migration are layered.
Right now, people who live in Guatemala and Honduras are facing intense economic and environmental conditions.
With ever-present violence and a drought that is limiting food availability.
Critics of the white house say this most recent extreme spike in movement is a direct result of the president's policies.
Sen. Jeff Merkley, (D) Oregon, said, "They're saying the big change is the message that this is your last chance.
President Trump, if you're ever going to escape these dire circumstances.
You have to come now."
As president trump focuses on beefing up security, a wall, more border patrol agents and adding u-s troops.
Brig. Gen. Walter Duzzny with the US Army said,
"Today we have approximately 2000 service members supporting the mission along the southwest border."
Experts say smugglers are becoming more sophisticated.
It is likely they won't be deported in large numbers, at least right away.
Focusing far more on success stories from neighbors than threats from the white house
Mexico has agreed to deploy its national guard to the country's southern border to stop central American migrants there.
Mexico will also accept migrants turned away at the U.S. border as they await consideration of their asylum claims.

CBP: Cuban woman assaults female Border Patrol agent in El Paso

EL PASO, Texas - A Cuban woman being held at a tent facility in El Paso allegedly threatened and assaulted a female Border Patrol agent, said federal officials.
The alleged assault happened on June 5, 2019. The agent was performing roll call when she was threatened and assaulted by the Cuban national.
Officials said the migrant was immediately restrained by fellow Border Patrol agents. The agent assaulted by the woman suffered no serious injuries, officials said.
The Border Patrol contacted the FBI, which will investigate the assault.
NOTABLE INCIDENTS FROM LAST WEEK
Customs and Border Protection officials said two large groups migrants were apprehended in separate incidents last week.
On June 4, 2019, Border Patrol agents intercepted a large group of undocumented immigrants crossing the Rio Grande just west of Fonseca Street. Agents at the scene apprehended 268 undocumented immigrants.
In a separate incident on June 5, 2019, agents assigned to the Lordsburg Station apprehended a group of 258 undocumented immigrants near the Antelope Wells Port of Entry in the remote New Mexico boot heel. The migrants were composed primarily of family units and unaccompanied children from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
While processing undocumented immigrants in Clint, Texas, Border Patrol agents identified a man with a criminal record and a conviction for sexual assault. Daniel Sierra Alvarado, 30, of Mexico, had been sentenced to two years in prison by the Colorado Department of Youth Corrections for Sexual Assault. Federal agents deported Sierra Alvarado from the U.S. after he served his sentence. Sierra Alvarado was part of a group of nine undocumtned immigrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
Bordre Patrol agents assigned to the Santa Teresa Station arrested a man previously been convicted for carnal knowledge of a child in Fairfax County, Virginia. The 35-year-old Guatemalan was sentenced in May of 2008 and served a 30 month sentence. He was deported from the U.S. The man, not identified by Border Patrol, was entering the U.S. with a group of 16 undocumented immigrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents.
El Paso Station agents encountered a 44-year-old Mexican man who had previously served time in prison after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a child. Carlos Rosales Matamoros was convicted in the state of Oklahoma in 1999 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. After serving ten years in prison, he was deported from the U.S.
Last week, El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents also conducted two water rescues in two separate incidents June 5th and June 6th.
The Border Patrol agents observed undocumented immigrants attempting to enter the U.S. and cross through dangerous canals adjacent to the border. In both incidents, the migrants were carried away by the fast moving canal currents. Agents managed to rescue a total of four undocumented immigrants. All were medically evaluated and transported for additional processing.
The U.S. Border Patrol reminds members of the public water was recently released at Elephant Butte dam and waters at area canals and the river are rising and dangerous.

Tucson city councilman Steve Kozachik opens ward 6 office doors to migrants

TUCSON, Ariz. — As more migrants cross the Arizona border, they have many stops along the way and one of them is Tucson.
Tucson city councilman Steve Kozachik says the issue needs resolution. He's starting to get calls to accommodate the overflow of migrants coming into Tucson. According to Kozachik he has seen about 6,000 migrants flow through the Benedictine Monastery over the last four years. He's recently seen about 10,000 come in from January to June of this year.
"We started this 5 years ago at the Greyhound bus station when border patrol was dropping off groups of 8 to 10 people at a time," said Kozachik.
The councilman says migrants are trying to make it to the United States before President Donald Trump's proposed border wall is built. Adding that he's handling the current situation like he would during Operation Deep Freeze to temporarily assist the homeless in the community.
"When it gets cold outside we bring in the homeless to city facilities and give them a place to sleep. We have a situation with homeless people here temporarily," said Kozachik.
Right now only 47 asylum seekers can stay at the ward office at once. Over 400 volunteers and translators are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
The office has three bathrooms along with men's and women's showers. Asylum seekers spend the night on the 47 available cots and move on from the location within 2 to 3 days. Kozachik says if the people crossing over are not housed they will be released into the street with no direction or assistance and that could ultimately create more of an issue for the city.
Another issue the councilman wanted to make clear is that all of the assistance is paid for by donations only. No public funds are used for the services, he also says that the migrants typically arrive after business hours to make sure there's are no disruption of city business. There are currently 5 local churches taking in migrants locally.
"We make sure their medical needs are taken care of, its all volunteer no tax payer money is used. All donations are given by the community and not by the government. What we need to have is democrats and republicans everyone working together with the Central American nations to solve the conditions these people are fleeing from," he said.
The councilman says that opening the ward office on a temporary basis is not violating city codes. He added that the Tucson Fire Department gave the site a waiver saying that it meets safety and health standards and can hold up to 224 people.

Alleged homicide suspect arrested for shooting man at 67th Avenue and Indian School Road

https://www.abc15.com/news/crime/update-alleged-homicide-suspect-arrested-for-shooting-man-at-67th-avenue-and-indian-school-road
PHOENIX — Court paperwork is offering additional details after a deadly shooting on Friday, June 7, near 67th Avenue and Indian School Road.
According to Phoenix police, officers responded to an address near the intersection around 3:15 p.m. to find a 34-year-old man,
later identified as Jesus Velazquez, with gunshot injuries.
Velazquez was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Numerous witnesses reportedly told police that the suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Victor Garcia,
was seen chasing the victim through a business parking lot while firing a handgun at him. The victim then fell to the ground.
Witnesses say Garcia stood over Velazquez and fired three or four more shots, hitting him in the face.
Garcia then fled in a truck, according to police. Surveillance video provided police with a license plate number to the vehicle.
A patrol officer spotted the truck about 20 minutes later.
The driver allegedly told police that Garcia had him drop him off in a neighborhood.
The driver told police that, "Garcia never talked about what happened, why it happened or who the victim was."
Police say Garcia was located and arrested the next morning in Tolleson.
Court records show that Garcia was convicted for armed robbery as a juvenile and was previously deported.
He is being held on a $1,000,000 cash bond for first-degree murder.

The Supreme Court Weighs in on Border Shooting
June 3, 2019

https://patriotforamerica.com/2019/06/03/the-supreme-court-weighs-in-on-border-shooting/
Border patrol and security continues to be an extremely divisive issue. The Supreme Court has been involved in prior cases related to constitutional rights violations.
The Supreme Court is now looking at the issue of if a person is not from this country, and they want to sue because of harm they received from border patrol. The question centers around an existing case where shots were fired across the border that resulted in the death on a Mexican person.
The Supreme Court is set to hear such a case and make a ruling soon. In the case of Hernandez v. Mesa, a person was killed when shots were fired over the border during a border issue.
Such issues are bound to rise as more illegals try to cross the border. There has also been an increase in drug traffic and human slave traffic in the past few years.
Law officials are under the protection of qualified immunity for any actions that they take while on active duty. In 1971 there was a case that provided an exception to the rule.
In a case called Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents as allowance was made for people to sue civilly law enforcement that would seem to violate federal law against civilians.
In the case, the Supreme Court is to soon hear from the family of Adrian Hernandez Guereca, who was shot and killed by federal agents. The family claims that their son and his friends were playing a game where they run and touch the fence and run back to a starting point.
At that moment a shot was fired which killed Hernandez. The agent was on the U.S. side when the shot was fired.
Bob Hillard, who is the attorney for the Hernandez family, has stated, "The deadly practice of agents, standing in the United States and shooting innocent kids across the border must be stopped. It's never right. It's never constitutional. That is one of those times when morality and our U.S. constitution line up perfectly."
During the investigation back in 2012, the Obama era Justice Department had a different story behind the shooting.
They claim that the shot fired was aimed at smugglers that were attempting to cross the border. They claim that the people being fired at were throwing rocks at agents that were trying to detain a person of interest.
It was determined during the investigation that there was not enough evidence to warrant federal charges against the agents involved.
It was also determined that no federal civil rights charges were able to be claimed either. The case has gone all over the court system for the past several years.
Once it reached the Fifth Circuit Court the ruling was against the Hernandez family.
The court ruled the way they did because foreign people living in another country do not have the same rights as an American citizen would have. There are also border security issues that have to be considered as well.
The court also determined that these matters actually must be taken up with the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch since foreign policy is heavily involved.
Not too long after the decision was made, the government of Mexico weighed in on the case. They claimed that the case is much more clear than it is being made out to believe. The agent used to much force and it resulted in the death of a child.
Mexico claims that national security is not involved at this point.
The Trump administration has not been silent as they have agreed with the court's decision and back up what they have stated.
With all the publicity over this incident, this decision by the Supreme Court will have ramifications that will be felt for many years to come.
What they decide to do will either overturn prior decisions and open the door for more civil cases to be developed or it will put it to rest after many years.
If the court decides that civil action can be taken, the Hernandez family would still have to present their case and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that their version of the story is true in order for them to win the case.

SAN LUIS, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- The San Luis Police Department arrested three people after they were allegedly found in possession
of more than 3,200 pills containing fentanyl at San Luis High School Wednesday morning.
Police say school resource officers arrested two 18-year-old female students, identified as
Noemi Hernandez-Madrigal and Alessandra Cardenas-Hernandez, and a 16-year-old male.

They say Hernandez-Madrigal had three separate plastic zip-lock bags containing more than 3,200 blue M30 pills.
The pills came back positive for the presence of fentanyl after pills were field tested at random from each bag.
Cardenas-Hernandez had possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a narcotic drug and possession of illegal drugs
in a drug-free school zone. The 16-year-old male also faces the same charges.
Police say the clandestinely made fentanyl showed a total weight of 373 grams.
The pills have an estimated street value of up to $48,000.
They say Hernandez-Madrigal and Cardenas-Hernandez, both residents of San Luis, were booked into the Yuma County Adult Detention Facility
for felony charges
and the male was booked into the Yuma County Juvenile Detention Center for felony charges as well.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Lt. Marco Santana said police believe Hernandez-Madrigal intended to sell the synthetic drug that is gaining popularity
as an alternative to other opioids, like heroin.
Pills sell for about $10 to $15 each.
The opioid crisis has gripped communities across the U.S.
Exactly two years before the students' arrests, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed an emergency declaration
to address a growing number of fatal overdoses.
The state instituted a number of measures, including training officers around the state to use a powerful spray that helps prevent death
in people who are overdosing and new rules mandating how opioids can be prescribed.
In San Luis, a largely Hispanic city of about 33,000 people that draws thousands of farmworkers to work the nearby fields
, officials have spent the past year waging a campaign against opioids.
Border authorities said they arrested a 16-year-old American boy at the border in September
for trying to sneak dozens of fentanyl pills into the country by wrapping them around his legs.
"We happen to be a border city, so (we're) on the front lines. It's gonna be smuggled through our city," Santana said.
"But the main thing here is that we continue to combat that opiate issue that we have, not just here."
Santana said his department has on-campus officers at all the schools and that all officers carry Narcan,
the brand name for naloxone, an antidote to opioid overdoses.
School nurses in San Luis also have the drug on hand, said Eric Patten, a spokesman for the students' school district,
Yuma Union High School District #70.
Many schools around the country do this, and some states even mandate it.
"The arrests were certainly concerning for the district.
As educators, you never want to see young people resort to that type of life-altering, negative decision," Patten said.
