Canadian Jurist to Decide by Morning
A Chamizal arbitration panel held a three hour session in El Paso on June 5 with Judge Lafleur and Commissioners Miles and Puga reviewing evidence and arguments. Lefleur worked alone in the afternoon, and it appears his solo effort to secure unanimity failed, as he began drafting the final decision himself with no avenue for appeal. The ruling, expected by Wednesday, will determine Chamizal ownership between the United States and Mexico.
