Digg THE BORDER REPORT
So, yeah okay. I was gone. Some of you apparently noticed; bola de culeros.
Spent my birthday camping up in the Chiricahua Mountains on the Arizona/New Mexico/Sonora border. Pine trees and rain and rare steak and sake. My cell didn’t get any service, didn’t even take a camera with me. I liked the disconnect. Pile on a magazine gig, a cop ride-along and some feverish hacking and this week’s about had it.
But I’m back and you can shove your coup right up in there with your movie quotes, mi estimádo.

THE BORDER REPORT
The white militant accused in a murder job that left a nine-year old girl dead last month was arrested at the headquarters of a large non-profit border watch group in Southern Arizona. Shawna Forde, who’s been formally charged in the double execution, was arrested as she left the offices of American Patrol, a border watch group that pulls in about a million dollars a year in charitable contributions.

Chismes: Mormon Leader Kidnapped in Chihuahua?THE BORDER REPORT
Readers are saying that Meredith Romney, the LDS leader in Chihuahua, was kidnapped today by masked gunmen. Meredith is a cousin of Mitt Romney, the former Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency in the 2008 elections.
If the rumor is true, I wonder how much of the motive to Romney’s kidnapping is related to pure, brazen profit as opposed to revenge or a vengeance hit. The example’s been made.
In late May, a 16 year old boy from the Mennonite community in Chihuahua was kidnapped for ransom. Hundreds of Mormons gathered to demand the government intervene. The boy was later released after a small ransom was paid.

Minuteman Vigilante Tied to Home InvasionTHE BORDER REPORT
A 41-year-old woman involved with the Minuteman vigilante groups that hunt illegal migrants through the Arizona desert has been arrested for pulling a home invasion and murdering a father and his nine year old daughter last month.
Then it gets ugly and weird. According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, Shawna Forde, 43, was arrested south of Sierra Vista, Ariz. today. Her accomplices, Albert Gaxiola and Jason Eugene Bush, were also arrested. Bush was picked up in Kingman on June 11 and Gaxiola in Tucson. The father and daughter, Raul and Brisenia Flores, were murdered May 30.
