Mr. _
Reference the Border Patrol Weekly Blotter:
"...A reduction in staffing and an increased workload at Border
Patrol Headquarters has required discontinuing numerous activities
including the U.S. Border Patrol Weekly Blotter. The Blotter was not
part of our reporting metrics and was produced based on available
production resources. Those resources are no longer available."

DEL RIO - A Del Rio woman was taken into custody Tuesday after U.S.
Customs and Border Protection officers found a long-range sniper
rifle, along with components of other rifles, in her vehicle.
Around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, CBP officers observing outbound traffic
headed for Mexico inspected a 1999 Ford Expedition driven by a 24-
year-old Del Rio woman, accompanied by her one-year-old daughter.
During an examination using a non-intrusive imaging system, CBP
officers discovered a non-factory compartment inside the vehicle.
Officers recovered a .50-caliber Barrett Model 82A1 rifle from the
compartment. Also found in the compartment were two Barrett Model
82A1 lower receiver assemblies and four matching ammunition
magazines, and a .38-caliber handgun.
The driver was turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations while her child was
released to Child Protective Services.
"One of the key goals of CBP is to disrupt the business of
transnational criminal organizations," said Michael Perez, CBP Port
Director, Del Rio. "These rifles are high-powered sniper weapons that
have no purpose other than armed combat.
"We are committed to preventing the illegal importation and
exportation of firearms."
Tuesday's seizure came two weeks after CBP officers at Del Rio
discovered eight assault rifles and more than 600 rounds of
ammunition hidden in a vehicle bound for Mexico.
Note: The drug/narco culture takes hold of the "ninis" kids with
no job, no school. Numbers also tilted because of various massacres
of youths at parties and rehab centers. Usually by other youths
being paid with drugs by the cartels.

Mexico • violence against the population under 18 has increased in
Mexico, only in adolescents aged 15 to 17 years, the percentage of
firearm homicides represents more than half of cases of deaths since
2006.
And for 2010, 7 out of 10 adolescents in this age range was killed
with a firearm, according to the report of Geo-referenced Map of
Violence against children and adolescents presented by the Network
for the Rights of Children in Mexico.
There are notes that nationally, the death rate in the population
under 18 years had been a significant decrease for 2007 as of 2008 it
increased, reaching 3.6 deaths per 100 000 inhabitants in 2010, this
rate has been Highest in the last 10 years.
In 2009, only 7 states had a death rate for homicide in the
population aged 15 to 17 years older than the national average. For
2010, the entities that obtained a mortality rate above the national
average were 11, the rise in violence was reflected during the last
period in the states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Morelos.
From 0 to 17 years old homicide deaths by firearms in 2006
represented 37% of all homicides, by 2010 the percentage increased
almost twice, ie, over 60%.
Although the amount of labeled homicides in other types also
increases, growth is not as prominent as is the case of the firearm
deaths.
During the presentation of the map, the security specialist, Edgardo
Buscaglia said that Mexico violated 44 of the 58 international
conventions which recognize the human rights of children.
