Border Patrol Agents Encouraged Not To Report Groups: US Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera from the Rio Grande Valley Sector has revealed that agents are being chastised for reporting illegal alien groups exceeding 20 individuals.  Edwin Mora of Breitbart reports that agents that do make such reports are assigned to process detainees at the station or patrol low volume areas in a fixed position as punishment.  In recent Congressional testimony the Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council told lawmakers that the Obama administration is misleading the American people by manipulating border security data. "Ask any line Agent in the field and he or she will tell you that at best we apprehend 35-40% of the illegal immigrants attempting to cross. This number is even lower for drug smugglers who are much more adept at eluding capture," he said.

Siblings of Murdered Parents Fight Killer's Parole:  The year before California reinstated the death penalty and life without the possibility of parole was an option, Jose Gonzalez bludgeoned James and Essie Effron to death in the basement of their store.  Now, decades later, he has been granted parole.  Kelly Puente of the Orange County Register reports on the children of the deceased couple's fight to have the parole board's decision vetoed.  Cheryl Effron and her brother Gary Effron have reached out to the public to begin a letter-writing campaign to Gov. Jerry Brown, pleading for him to reverse the decision.  If the siblings are successful, they may have to do it all again in three years when Gonzalez once again becomes eligible for supervised release.

Missouri Executes Cecil Clayton:  Death row inmate Cecil Clayton's efforts to have his execution delayed with claims of mental incompetence and a potentially improper lethal injection drug were not convincing enough for the US Supreme Court to stay his execution Tuesday evening.  The Associated Press reports that the convicted murderer of Deputy Sheriff Christopher Castetter, and the (formerly) oldest death row inmate in the state of Missouri, was cooperative when escorted to the execution chamber, according to a Department of Corrections spokesman.  Clayton's execution was the second this year in the state.
