TUCSON - The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector says there's a response plan ready in case organized crime violence wracking northern Mexico spills over the border.
Chief Robert Gilbert says the patrol has spent the past 18 months planning a response with local sheriff's, police and other state and federal law enforcement agencies.
