Juarez Police to keep eye on border areas

U.S. Border Patrol agents will not work alone in trouble spots which also will be watched closer by Mexican police to prevent more violence after last week’s wanton murder of a Juárez teenager, authorities said Monday. The mayors of El Paso and Juárez and law enforcement officials met Monday morning to discuss ways to stem problems on the international boundary between the cities. The meeting at El Paso City Hall took place a week after the murder of Sergio Adrián Hernández Güereca, 15, who was executed by a Border Patrol agent who claimed to being attacked with rocks while trying to make an arrest on the Rio Grande in Downtown El Paso. Videos of the incident contradict the agents account. MORE

Weekend on the border

Over the weekend, a group of protester got together on the Mexican side of the US/Mexico border to protest the murder of 15 year old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca by a yet to be identified US Border Patrol Officer. About 20 Border Patrol agents turned out in riot gear, helmets and shields to watch the demonstrators, but wisely chose not to release any weapons this time. The demonstrators appeared to have crossed the Rio Grande and attacked the international fence on the U.S. side of the border. The demonstrators also cut a hole in the fence. Meanwhile, a know nothing congressman, famous for his anti-Mexican anti-immigrant rhetoric had a solution for the whole problem. U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said MORE

FBI opens civil rights probe in the murder of Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca

The FBI, investigating the murder of 15 year old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca by an unidentified Border Patrol Agent who shot Güereca in Mexico, has now expanded their investigation to include possible civil rights violations. Mexican prosecutors, meanwhile, are investigating the case as a homicide, raising the possibility that the agent could also face charges in Mexico, although it is unlikely the U.S. would agree to extradite him. The FBI formally added the civil rights element to its broader investigation into the alleged assault on the Border Patrol agent. A civil rights probe investigates allegations of abuse by any U.S. law enforcement officer. If investigators determine the Border Patrol agent shot Hernandez without justification, he could be found to have MORE

José Cisneros 1910-2009 Immigrant Artist who tore at racism

EL PASO — The world knew José Cisneros as a great painter. He was much more than that in El Paso, where his work turned heads and tore down barriers. Cisneros, who died Saturday at age 99, was a gentle man and a devout Catholic who used his talent to battle racism, said Monsignor Arturo Bañuelas, pastor of St. Pius X Catholic Community. Bañuelas gave the eulogy Wednesday at Cisneros’ funeral. “At a time when there was a lot of ugliness out there, when the Spanish were punished for speaking, when Latinos had to walk in the back door to eat, José Cisneros painted beauty,” Bañuelas said. “At that time, in those moments of ugliness, our maestro painted beauty for MORE
