ICE agent Kelton Harrison was shot twice a known drug-trafficking route near the Mexican border in Texas. Several people are being held for questioning following the shooting.
FOX News reported:
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, which is near the Mexican border and a known drug-trafficking route.
The agent, identified as Kelton Harrison, is listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
Harrison, 32, had undergone surgery for two gunshot wounds to the abdomen, the spokeswoman said. He was shot shortly before 4 a.m. while driving off road in an unmarked SUV.
A reporter for The Monitor said Harrison was placed in an ambulance and rushed to the McAllen Medical Center at speeds of up to 100 mph.
The scene was described as a remote and brushy area and was packed with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and an investigation is ongoing, the report said.

Probably the acts of the Tea Party. Napolitano’s putting out an APB for all officers to be on the lookout for 80-year-old grandmothers, toddlers, soccer moms and Republican congresspersons.

More Obama voters voicing their opinions? Or just some Mexican drug gangs using their Fast & Furious weapons?

If a Fast and Furious weapon shows up as the weapon used do you think it will make the headlines on any of the liberal media networks? Hell most of them will not even reported Eric Holder was held in Contempt for fear of exposing the Americans that still happen to watch them, to the fact this MURDERIOUS Scandal belongs to the Obama administration. Nothing about it is being reported except on Faux and the Blogosphere. So if the hard line socialist at CNN and MsLSD wonder why they have no ratings, its because the have no integrity anymore.
Why I think even honest democrats can tell when they are being manipulated and lied to and deceived about the truth. They feel the economy too, they are living it as well as the republicans. They know Obama has been a marked failure and no matter how many times you talk about the Queens coronaton or what ever it was, or stories about Anderson Cooper being an Authenticated Teabagger now Americans want facts, not bloviated opinions when it comes to news.
Pray for the agent and his family and pray that Oath keepers will abide by their promise to defend the constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic. I am pretty sure Obama covers both of those qualifications.

I think ICE Agents should answer their phones when Arizona calls — the life they save could be their own.

Americans are going to keep dying until the Obama administration is voted out of office, and lawmakers pass some form of SB1070 on a national basis.

Thank G-d Harrison survived the shooting.
What does anyone expect, when the POTUS himself has spit on American sovereignty by not enforcing immigration law. Who cares abut the rule of law? After all, “it’s the right thing to do.”
All bet’s are off, muchachos. Gringos pendejos!

Just a reminder…
If they’re under 30 don’t get caught and stay in the country for five years, Obama gives them 2-year visas through Executive Order…
I’m not even gonna ask where the gun came from…That might offend Obama supporters…

A fast and furious weapon will not be found at this site.The SCRUB agency is no doubt on high alert along the border to make sure that no pre election props are not found.
