The family of a federal agent who was killed in Mexico at the hands of Los Zetas Cartel in 2011 will finally be able to receive funeral and survivor benefits after a Texas congresswoman intervened.
“This is an injustice, they lost their son … Is this how we treat our men and women in law enforcement that risk their lives to protect us all?” Congresswoman Mayra Flores told Breitbart Texas as she announced her intervention into the matter of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata’s survivor benefits. “The least we could do after him giving his life is to provide for his family.”
“We were in shock to realize that they were still waiting for those benefits,” Flores said. “They were very surprised when we were able to get it done in six weeks.” “No family should ever have to go through the pain and suffering of losing a family member, only to be forgotten by Washington bureaucrats for more than eleven years,” Mary Zapata wrote. “Congresswoman Flores and her staff worked to represent our family interests with dedication and sincere concern from day one. Our family is most grateful for her service.”
“This is an injustice, everything that this family went through, and for them to still have to deal with the government,” the congresswoman said. “This case was well known; this tragic incident and they still did not help them. Agent Avila has also gone through so much and he is still waiting for his benefits.”and has run for local public offices in Texas.
