Sad.
I know a former border patrol agent. Interesting stuff.
Two things I thought were interesting.
1) Fast and Furious pissed him off and how it never got real traction
2) he said they were told to profile the shite out of Arabs at the border and he felt bad about it
Hispanic guy btw

Why? The Mexican border the easiest way for terrorists to enter the country.

RIP. Hope this family is taken care of the federal government on behalf of a grateful nation for his service. 
Also hoping the partner in critical condition pulls through.

Trump should go to his funeral. I am not kidding. In NY if a cop or firefighter gets killed the Mayone goes. This was a Federal Cop. It would remind people of how dangerous the border service job is and how much we need a wall.
If Trump worries that this may be seen as too political, have him send a cabinet member or Pence.

Heavy Article, Rogelio Martinez: 5 Fast Facts
Sad to hear. RIP Mr Martinez. Thank you for your service.
quote:
An official with the National Border Patrol Council labor union familiar with the investigation said Martinez apparently was struck in the head, though he could not say with what. An agent in the area had called for backup while pursuing suspects, said the official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the matter.
When backup arrived, Martinez was already injured and on the ground, the official said. The second agent summoned additional backup, the official said, but “when more help showed up, he was on the ground, too” — also seriously injured.

Martinez Suffered Injuries to His Head & Body & the Union Believes Rocks Were Used by His Attackers
According to an email from acting Border Patrol Commissioner Kevin McAleenan posted by the Border Patrol Foundation, Martinez was found “unconscious, with multiple injuries to his head and body.”
quote:
According to his Facebook page, Martinez has also lived in Temecula, California. He had been engaged since May 2017, according to his fiancee’s Facebook page. Along with his fiancee, he is survived by his son, according to Texas Public Radio.
Sad to hear. RIP Mr Martinez. Thank you for your service.

Breitbart Article
tldr:
Border Patrol Agent on midnight shift is out in the 30 degree night tracking a group of illegals. They ambush him and beat him to death with a rock, or rocks, then beat his partner when he shows up. Leave them both for dead and disappear into the night.
Odd that the MSM is being so vague with details, even though the National Border Patrol Union President has stated on record that he was killed by illegals in an ambush.
quote:
Border Patrol Agent Brandon Judd, also president of the NBPC, stated, “What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogilio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking. Our agents’ reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks.”
Agent Judd continued, “The other agent arrived on scene a short time later and was also ambushed and struck in the head with what is believed to have been a rock or rocks. These disgusting acts and complete disregard for human life need to stop immediately. Family members of slain Agent Martinez will never get to see him come home again all because we have failed to secure our borders from such criminals.”

Probably because they profile dipshit

Do they not carry weapons? If there are no injured illegal aliens this is a strange story.
Once you see another agent down your weapon is drawn and awareness through the roof, especially if he had time to radio in. No one is beating you to death with rocks without a couple rounds leaving the chamber.

Was he attacked by a group of migrant workers? Strange circumstance. I would like a better article.
