Family of slain ICE Agent Jaime Zapata releases statement
Family of slain ICE Agent Jaime Zapata releases statement
February 19, 2011 3:55 PM
Special to the Herald
In response to this terrible tragedy, the Zapata Family has many people to thank who have provided critical support to us. Our extended family, loved ones, and friends have helped us cope with our grief.
I also want to thank our community, the City of Brownsville, the State of Texas, as well as the Department of Homeland Security.
We have also been overwhelmed by the support of law enforcement officers and agents, and the people of the United States of America during our great loss.
My brother, ICE Special Agent Jaime Jorge Zapata, was undeniably the best! His dedication to service and integrity was unparalleled. He was the life and soul of our family, and a joy to his friends and colleagues.
I hope that you will remember him in your prayers – as well as the other men and women who have served this great country, and paid the ultimate price so that we may live in freedom in a safer United States of America.
Jaime was a son, a brother, a boyfriend, and a caring, loving person. He grew up giving of himself and was always committed to doing the right thing. I firmly believe he is in heaven now, continuing to work for what is right.
Please also keep his fellow agent, Victor Avila Jr., who was traveling with him, and the Avila family in your prayers, as they continue coping with this tragedy.
God bless my Father, Mother, Jaimes’ girlfriend Stacy, my brothers - Carlos, Jose, William, and all of you here today. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Why are they thanking the DHS?
It just seems they would have had more negative to say about the Federal government, DHS, the Federal government etc etc

What blows me away is the fact that our government seems to have no concern for the fact that our ICE agents and other agents aren't allowed to carry weapons in Mexico. Anyone representing the United States in the capacity of law enforcement or security should have the right to defend themselves. Especially in MEXICO! Those two ICE agents were there to work alongside Mexican law enforcement and obviously the Mexican government does not see fit to protect those agents either.
