Another right wing effort underway to turn a convicted Border Patrol Agent into a "hero"

Another Border Patrol Agent who was recently convicted of perjury and “deprivation of civil rights under color of authority” and sentenced to 24 months in prison is once again being hailed as a hero by the same wingnuts who attempted to do the same for convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Former Border Patrol office Jesus Enrique Diaz Jr and other agents were chasing other a group of illegal migrants through a pecan orchard near Eagle Pass the night of Oct. 16, 2008. Once the group was apprehended and handcuffed, Diaz targeted on 15 year old, kicked his feet out from under him and once on the ground, grabbed his handcuffed wrist jerking his arms back behind him at a painful MORE

Judge Susan Bolton - Arizona has no right to sue Feds over border control

In a ruling that could have repercussions across the nation in a positive way against the hideous and draconian copycat laws other states are adopting, Federal Judge Susan Bolton ruled that  Arizona has no legal right to sue the federal government for failing to secure the border Judge Susan Bolton acknowledged federal law directs the Department of Homeland Security to achieve “operational control” of the border. A separate law requires construction of at least 700 miles of fencing. But the judge said those are only goals, and Congress set no deadline for when the fence needs to be completed. Bolton said that means Arizona cannot seek – and she cannot grant – an order for the federal government to do MORE

On first anniversary of David Hartley fiasco, Tiffany Hartley tells still a different story

Hard to believe a year has passed since a questionable incident on Falcon Lake put the small town of Zapata Texas on the world map. A year ago today, Tiffany and David Hartley took their personal watercraft across the border and only Tiffany Harley returned telling  a harrowing and unbelievable  tale that stills smells like the rotting fish along the docks of Falcon Lake. Tiffany claims drug cartel gunmen chased her across the lake, having shot David in the head. She said she was forced to leave her soul mate in the normally calm waters to save herself. But now, on the anniversary of the incident, still unsolved, Hartley is telling yet another version of what “happened” on Falcon Lake MORE

9% unemployment and the US Shrimping industry can't find workers

Ridiculous people! Off your asses and the public dole and check out these jobs. Fresh air, easy work and good money! According to KRGV, the shrimping industry in the lower valley is struggling to find workers. Could this be another one of those jobs, Americans think themselves too good to do? The article says; Companies say they’re having a hard time finding people to work for them this shrimping season. The shrimping industry is struggling to survive in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Many fear there will be no future. Shrimpers say it isn’t because there will be no shrimp. They say they’re running out of finding good young fishermen. Juan Reyes, a shrimp boat captain, has seen the problem MORE

Fisherman fired upon on Falcon Lake - Now we know "the rest of the story"

Earlier this week, a story appeared about a fisherman on Falcon Lake in Zapata Country who claimed he was fired upon by masked men on the Mexican side of the lake, while fishing with his 11 year old grandson. Falcon Lake was the scene almost a year ago of the suspicious disappearance of David Hartley who was supposedly killed by still unidentified gunmen. His body has never been found and his wife has gone on to become an “expert” on “border security. Fortunately, in this case, Zapata County Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez, who recently announced he will not seek reelection, has stayed out of this incident with his hysterical calls for increased funding to battle the out of control drug gangs. Had MORE

[Updated] Murder condoned by US District Judge David Briones as justice is denied Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca, for now!

Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr, remember that name people. He is the Border Patrol agent in El Paso who got away with the cold blooded murder of 15 year old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca on June 7, 2010.

Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr. murdered Güereca as the kid was standing behind a pillar on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande within site of the Paseo Del Norte bridge where witnesses videotaped the entire exchange. As usual, Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr. claimed that Güereca was throwing rocks at him as he tried to detain another man who with Güereca, had been running back and forth across MORE

Leaked memos reveal attempts to murder migrants by border vigilante groups

Think Minuteman Shawna Forde and her group of murdering border vigilantes were an anomaly? Think again! Documents released by LulzSec, a group that hacked the Arizona Department of Public Safety last week seem to indicate otherwise and involve groups that have come to our attention in the past, such as the cowardly former Marine JT Ready, who was kicked out of the corp for disciplinary problems. Hacked Documents Reveal Border Vigilante Activity Reports of two previously unknown border vigilante operations, including one that apparently hires U.S. Marines as paid mercenaries, have surfaced in internal documents from the Arizona Department of Public Safety stolen and released last week by the hacker collective LulzSec. According to the documents, Department of Homeland Security MORE

Prosecution - Gaxiola was the orchestrator of the Arivaca murders

The first day of the capitol murder trial of Albert Gaxiola is in the books and it gives us a glimpse of which way his defense team is going to try and get him acquitted of the same charges that sent Minuteman leader Shawna Forde and shooter Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush to Arizona’s death row. For full and unique coverage of the trial, check out Dave Rickers website. Good reporting despite the lack of use of spellcheck. Opening statements were today and the prosecution led off telling the jury that although Albert Robert Gaxiola may not have pulled the trigger, he was the one responsible for recruiting Minuteman Shawna Forde and her lapdog Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush because he, Gaxiola, MORE
