A migrant suspected of being a Mexican cartel informant brutally assaulted and bit a Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agent after crossing the border from Mexico. A photo shows the word rata (rat) branded on his forehead.
Former Republican Representative Mayra Flores shared photos on her social media account depicting the aftermath of a violent assault against a Border Patrol agent in Texas. Sunday’s post on X, (formerly Twitter), included the photo of a migrant with a tattoo on his forehead that reads “RATA” which translates to rat in English — a sign that the migrant may have been branded by the Mexican Cartels as an informer. Flores also shared the bloody images of a Border Patrol agent wounded in the attack.

The attack occurred in the Texas Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector. A source within CBP, not authorized to speak to the media, says the incidents of assault on Border Patrol agents have not risen significantly during the latest border migration surge, but the assaults are becoming more dangerous as fewer Border Patrol agents are out on patrol.
“Most Border Patrol agents are dealing with the thousands of migrants crossing each day who willingly surrender,” the source explained. “Those migrants are not combative.”
“The ones who are trying to get away or are involved in human and drug smuggling are the danger,” the source continued. “If you tangle with one of them, the likelihood of having any quick back-up nearby is almost zero.”
