The raid appears to be drug related, and not related to Rep. Farenthold's leadership in the House Oversight Committee's investigation of the Fast and Furious scandal.

He broke a strangle hold on what was not only a Democrat stronghold but a stronghold representing Mexican interests.

Now guess why his family is involved.

Latest Update UPDATE: Sue Farenthold Arrested On Drug Charge
11:00 PM by Bart Bedsole - bbedsole@kristv.com
CORPUS CHRISTI - CCPD confirmed late Monday that Sue Farenthold, the sister of Congressman Blake Farenthold, had been taken to jail on a charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance.
That charge typically includes cocaine, heroin, methamphetime, and other drugs more serious than marijuana.
Flashbangs were used while authorities were searching for a known gang member and narcotics inside the home in the 5000 block of Cape Romain in South Shore Estates area.
SWAT officers, drug officers, and US Marshals went out to the house around 2:15pm Monday.
Police had received word that there were drugs and weapons inside and obtained a warrant.
Officers say they knew someone was home at the time and tried calling a house phone, but no one answered.
Authorities then used a public address system, but still no one came out. So they used tear gas and four people came out, three men and Sue Farenthold, who resides at the home.
Police later said they found methamphetamine inside the home, along with at least two guns and assault rifle ammunition.
There was also a brown substance seized which wasn’t identified at the scene.
Police arrested Sue Farenthold, 48, Michael Wayne, 49, Jesus Juarez, 38, and Johnny Reynolds, 40, on charges if possession of a controlled substance. Reynolds is also charged for an outstanding warrant and for failing to identify himself to authorities.
Congressman Farenthold released the following statement on the incident late Monday afternoon:
“I am saddened to learn the terrible news of the situation unfolding around my sister. Tragedy has occurred in my family in the past, and I am saddened it has happened again. I trust that law enforcement officials are doing their job and I support them carrying out their duty, regardless of where it takes them. I love my sister and ask for your prayers for her and the rest of my family as we work through this very difficult time..”

Just off the top, Would probably say they were overlooking it as they do others, then they decided to give Texas and the congressman a little warning. They play dirty in the White House. Just a little warning shot.

Hispanic Democratic town, White Republican Congressman and a naive and innocent sister caught in the middle between a her strong conservative brother and overzealous law enforcement.

Well, after all, if the SWAT team managed to find the right address this time, then they’re one up on the game.

Of all the choices in life you have one of the most important that is denied you is who you are related to.

He probably has a sister that got into drugs and spiraled down that hellhole, and now its being used against him when I bet he has done nothing but try and help her.

Most families have black sheep somewhere that embarrass us eventually, fortunately most people recognize that have the decency to ignore a relationship that is no one’s choice but God himself.

Not a big deal here. Hillary’s husband is a serial rapist and allowed the sale of missile technology to the ChiComs and no one cared

Sieg Heil! Jawohl, mein Drug War Fuhrer! Jawohl! Jawohl! Jawohl!

Yes, "representative" Farenthold - the Founding Fathers were ALL ABOUT a militarized police force (whose innumerable members made $30/$40/$50 an hour).

If the jackboots brought Bono the drug-sniffing dog, your sister is REALLY up a creek.

Geez, Republican law enfarcement lovers reeally bug me.

Good response. Who can argue with that?

He didn't try to lie, blame George Bush, or cover anything up. This is what makes him different than a democrat.

If a cousin of mine has an abortion, it's out of my hands. In no way could I be blamed for what she's done. Blaming Bush for her abortion just isn't something I'd do. I, too, would ask people to pray for her.
