Rest in peace, hero.
RIP Agent Cabral.
Build a fence and our wonderful Border Patrol agents won’t have to track illegal aliens so often
More blood on Jorge’s hands.
Prayers.

salt tablets and water would have prevented this......
31. Doesn’t look overweight. He would have known to carry water. Strange.

This man should not have had to die.
If thye had the damn fence up - the one Hunter pushed through Congress and the Rats, RINOs, and Administration did not provide funding for, he might still be alive.
My sincerest sympathies and prayers for this brave American and his family.
“More blood on Jorge’s hands.”
Jorge El Segundo - the man who dissolved America’s borders and punishes those who attempt to protect them.
Prayers for his family. God Bless him.

Prayers for Border Patrol Agent Eric N. Cabral & his family. ~Pandora~
Well I agree there is a lot of American blood on Jorge and jerkoff hands, but this man's death is more the fault of a doctor doing a half-ass physical. Are do you not have to pass a physical to be a border guard?
Yes he was young and in shape and it’s a little early for them to have completed an autopsy. It will probably turn out to be an undiagnosed heart condition.
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too.
Rest in Peace Cousin
Our sincerest condolences to the family of Patrol Agent Cabral and all of the dedicated Agents at the Boulevard Station. Our thoughts and prayers go with you as you risk your lives to ensure a safe homeland.
Semper Vigilans,
In this kind of weather, they should be issued with cooler outfit made of special fabric like the shirt from Europe called Montague. Also, there is hat that sprays mist when you wear it.
I think he could have been saved if the rescue helicopter could have arrived earlier.
Thank you all for your supports!
