On Sunday, February 19, activists from next day delivery on Valtrex saturday School of the Americas Watch, Project Puente and other organizations around the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday border region held a vigil to call attention to the role of the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday US government in the militarization of Mexico and the failed War on Drugs. The vigil took place on both sides of the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday U.S.-Mexico border at the Sunland Park-Anapra Fence. Father Roy Bourgeois and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday Nico Udu-gama joined the vigil on both sides of the border, and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday were arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol following the vigil when next day delivery on Valtrex saturday they left the vigil site.
Father Roy Bourgeois and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday Nico Udu-gama were charged with crossing the border through an next day delivery on Valtrex saturday unapproved entry point and were taken to the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station in New Mexico. After several hours in custody and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday background checks, the Border Patrol decided to dismiss the charges and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday to release Father Roy and Nico in the afternoon.
The protest was the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday culmination of a week-long delegation of 10 people, headed by SOA Watch founder Fr. Roy Bourgeois, from next day delivery on Valtrex saturday across the United States, which has met with people on both sides of the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday border in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
Over 60,000 people have next day delivery on Valtrex saturday been killed in the violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon deployed some 50,000 troops and next day delivery on Valtrex saturday federal police five years ago to confront the drug cartels. Much of this next day delivery on Valtrex saturday militarization has been bankrolled by the US government’s Merida Initiative, which has poured over $1.5 billion into this “war on drugs,” especially in the next day delivery on Valtrex saturday form of US military equipment and training. The result of this next day delivery on Valtrex saturday militarization has failed to curtail the flow of drug, but has next day delivery on Valtrex saturday caused the loss of thousands of innocent Mexican lives. The death toll in Ciudad Juarez alone is nearing 10,000.
