Very large shipment of cocaine seized

A joint operation between the U.S. Coast Guard and Honduran agents resulted in the seizure of a load of 3,200 kilos of cocaine. The reports did not provide the date of the event, but did state the drug was aboard a Honduran flag fishing vessel from Islas de la Bahia, and that it had sailed from Colombia. Further investigation was still being carried out. The drug was variously said to be worth 80 to 120 million dollars, and to be the largest load seized in the last six years. The interception was on the Atlantic (Caribbean) coast of Honduras. Five crewmen were detained.

[b]They can shoot you for not carrying your papers

Any minor transgression by those who have Latin appearance can end up with orange colored shackles and electric bracelets meant to locate them. And the law applies not only in Arizona but in the entire United States. Separation of families, unjustified detentions due to a Latin aspect, uniforms and shackles like criminals, and even freedom to shoot the migrants for not carrying their legal documentation are some of the realities for those who cross the border in search of the “American dream.â€
