Former Texas Congresswoman Mayra Flores shared photos from a border confrontation that turned bloody, warning Americans that “This is the type of violence that is being exerted on Border Patrol Agents by those who don’t want to be apprehended.”
“The suspect was labeled a rat by the cartels and fought against the agent until backup arrived,” Flores wrote. “Please pray for our men and women in uniform.”
This is the type of violence that is being exerted on Border Patrol Agents by those who don't want to be apprehended. The suspect was encountered by Border Patrol near McAllen, Texas, and was labeled a rat by the cartels. Please pray for our men and women in uniform 🙏 pic.twitter.com/4ns0ZvbhUf

From The New York Post:
The former lawmaker and current candidate, who was the first Mexican-born woman to serve in the House, also posted an image of the wounded migrant, whose forehead apparently bore a marking etched by a Mexican drug cartel.
In July, Flores launched a comeback bid after losing her seat to Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.
She is running on a platform to empower agents, strengthen border security and better protect children being trafficked.
“Our values align with the Republican Party. Our values align. I am pro-God, pro-life, pro-family. The Democrat Party stands against everything we stand for,” she said at her campaign launch, according to Politico.
