The timing couldn’t be more suspicious.
Just in time for a tough March 1 primary challenge, federal agents raid one lawmaker’s home and business.
Because FBI agents raided the home of this Democrat who just called out Joe Biden on one big failure.
Representative Henry Cuellar has taken the Biden administration to task over its failed border policies.
He also happens to be a Democrat.
Earlier this month Cuellar called on Vice President Kamala Harris—who is supposed to be the border “Czar”—to start taking the border crisis seriously.
“What I said was I’m going to work with the people, the career people in Homeland Security, the appointees that are interested in working on securing the border,” Cuellar outlined. “You know, a lot of us, they don’t have to listen to me, but they should listen to the people that live on the border. They need to listen to ranchers, mayors, county judges, sheriffs, police, folks that are on the border who see this every day. And if they listen to people on the border, I think they would get a very different perspective.”
The moderate Democrat pointed toward the truth leftists absolutely want to ignore.
Refusing to enforce border policies hurts everyone—including legal immigrants, who enter a country that lawmakers have allowed to become as bad as parts of the world they wanted to escape.
“Being 1,500, 1,200 miles away is very different from living on the border where we drink the water, we breathe the air, we live here, we have our families here,” Cuellar said. “And people down here are very respectful of immigrants. They want to see them treated with dignity and respect, but at the same time, they want to enforce the law. And the law says that if you get to stay here, you stay. And if you don’t, then you will be deported.”
He made the above statements during an interview on Fox News on January 5.
Only 15 days later, FBI teams raided Cuellar’s Laredo, Texas home and a commercial building he owns that houses his campaign’s headquarters.
“Everybody in the business community [who] I’m talking to is in deep and total shock because the last person they expected to see this happen to is Henry,” Eddie Aldrete, an independent public affairs consultant, told the Texas Tribune.
Cuellar is currently locked in a battle to win a primary challenge for his seat on March 1.
Considering that he often sides with Republicans on issues dealing with abortion and immigration, there’s no doubt radical leftists would love to kick the moderate Democrat out of Congress—especially since he’s on the appropriations committee.
The nine-term Congressman slammed Biden repeatedly over the past year for creating an insane mess at the border.
So far, it’s unclear what if anything exactly Cuellar is being accused of, but this sure smells like politically-fueled payback.
