| 2012-07-03 |
| An agent for ICE's Homeland Security Investigations was shot Tuesday morning in Texas while conducting surveillance in a criminal investigation, a spokeswoman from the agency said. The shooting occurred in Hidalgo County, Texas. The agent is currently in surgery for a gunshot wound, the spokeswoman said. He was shot twice in the abdomen shortly before 4 a.m. and is expected to survive, The Monitor's website reported. His identity was not immediately available. A reporter for the paper said the victim was placed in a ambulance and rushed to the McAllen Medical Center at speeds up to 100 mph. The scene, described as a remote and brushy area, was packed with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and an investigation is ongoing, the report said. |

| #10 If the rounds are chambered at .22.3/5.56 or 7.62x39 then high probability of F&F supplied weapons. Agent was off road in high brush when ambushed 30 miles inland. |

Hopefully the State and locals got the details. Issa should be kept informed. This link goes to a local paper covering the shooting, as well as reports at mile 7 north of the border a mechanic was kidnapped and the kidnappers headed South, just in the last few days. LINK The Texas Rangers are in on this investigation now. The notorious Rangers elite, the State Troopers. LINK Will be an interesting to see how the Rangers investigation turns out. |

| #3 The administration sent multiple signals to our enemies that the border is porous and we will not defend it. This is an impeachable offense. Nobody will do this in congress. |
