Default Reports from The Border

Report 1

Report From Gadget Dan

During rainy day Friday (Dec.11, 2009), a few Border Watchers from the Campo,CA area, decided to leave the wet dirt roads near the Border, for the Border Patrol to monitor/watch in their four wheeled drive vehicles. A few of us moved Watch operations to I-8 and Sunrise Hwy. Right off the bat, (upon arriving), one of the Border Watcher's spotted a load vehicle on the East side of Sunrise Hwy., across from Old Hwy.80 (North side of I-8).

The load vehicle had just completed a load up of suspected illegal Border Intruders, with one (Intruder), not able to load up in the vehicle, and, running (East), up the hillside, back into the bush. While the Border Watcher was making his report to the BP Dispatcher, a number of Border Patrol units arrived at the location. The Border Watcher believes some one reported the incident just prior to his call (due to the quick response of the BP units).

The suspected Border Intruder that ran back into the bush was dressed in shorts and wearing a red top with black lettering (or strips?). The BP Agents caught the load vehicle and occupants on Old Hwy. 80, near the Community of Pine Valley. The status of the lone Intruder that ran back into the bush was unknown at the end of our Watch operation (nightfall). All is well that ends well. "We love a rainy day". Gadget Dan.

Report 2

The Campo Minutemen were visisted this month by Julie Dufort, a research fellow and the coordinator of the Center for United States Studies at the Raoul Dandurand Chair in the University of Quebec in Montreal. Ms Dufort is currently doing a Master’s Degree in International Relations and, in relation to her Master’s thesis, is doing a research on the role of the civilian border patrols (Minutemen) and the way that they influence the debate on immigration in the United States. In addition to interviewing Campo Minutemen, Ms Dufort interviewed Minuteman Project Director Jim Gilchrist. The Mexico - United States Border is of great interest to academics from other countries as it is unique the world, with a Third World Country bordering a First World Country with no natural, geographic border.

On Monday, November 30, 2009, Gadget Dan while cleaning up litter along the South side I-8 t East Willow Rd., came across a day pack, a small zip lock blue bag of white powder, and a home made sprayed camo shirt, all within 20 feet of each other, all of which had been dropped recently.

Gadget Dan has begun to research candidates who will contest Congresswoman Susan Davis in 2010. He has exchanged emails with Republican Candidate Matt Friedman. Friedman states his position on immigration stresses three points: 1. E verify, 2. Improving the queuing system for people who can enter the county and 3) Utilize technology at the borders. Dan is reserving judgment noting "all the so called "technology"/ground sensors did 'not' prevent Mexican nationals/smugglers from entering our Country at will, to murder Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas. We all owe it to the surviving members of the Rosas family, and, to all Border Patrol Agents, that never again should this happen...Never!"

An arrest has been made in the Agent Rosas Murder case. Campo Minuteman and witness to the assassination, Kingfish is skeptical,noting the Government is claiming a 17 year old with no criminal history hopped in International Border to rob an armed officer of his lunch money and he did not mean to hurt him. Not even the four times he shot him in the back of the head as a lay on the ground.

The story is inconsistent with both the witness accounts and the autopsy report. In addition, the suspect surrendered, a plea deal was agreed to and his first court appearance was completed before there was any public announcement. The Campo Minutemen will continue to follow the case.

Thanks Borderwatch. You are the only voice at the border these days. I agree the 'kid' was picked to take the rap because the dumb Americans are supposed to believe 'anything'. Under age, nothing will happen to him, he may even get citizenship for him self.

Customs Border Protection Agent Slain By Husband
December 12, 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maribel Arteaga was found stabbed in her home. Her children were in the house during the attack

An International manhunt is under way for an estranged husband accused of slaying his pregnant wife, a Customs and Border Protection officer, and her unborn child.

28-year-old Maribel Arteaga - found stabbed in her home - was two months pregnant. The couple's two children, ages 6 and 4, were home at the time of the attack.

"Her husband stopped by to visit the children, or under the pretense of visiting the children," Chula Vista Police Chief David Bejarano said.

Witnesses say Jesus Arteaga Garcia, 28, knocked on the victim's apartment door just before 8:30 p.m. on Santa Alicia Avenue in East Lake. When she opened the door, he stabbed her with a long-bladed knife.

Garcia fled the scene. Arteaga later died at the hospital.

"We have a dangerous killer out on the street - a brutal homicide involving his wife, in front of his children," Chief Bejarano said. "We believe he might hurt someone else."

Officer Arteaga had been assigned to the Tecate port of entry since May 18 when she entered on duty with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

"We as her law enforcement family are saddened and grieve the loss of Officer Arteaga," U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson Angelica De Cima said. "Our hearts and thoughts go out to her family."

A neighbor, who didn't want to be named, said he had helped Arteaga with her car on Thursday after her battery died.

"I just remember the last thing that she said to me was, 'thanks a lot you saved my life," he said. "To think that you don't know what's going to happen with you tomorrow, and what you are going to leave behind -- especially a family. It's sad, it's a sad thing."

Garcia has a tattoo of a tiger on his right arm. He was last seen driving a 2007 gray Ford Ranger pickup with California plate 8T23674 and is considered armed and dangerous.

The suspect has friends and family in Tijuana and there's a good possibility he has fled south across the border, according to police.

The children are currently under the care of the family.

"That's probably the best situation is to be with people that they're familiar with," Chief Bejarano said.
