Democrat Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (TX) was involved in an early morning bar fight in 2000 with Javier Garza, a municipal court judge, and Lonnie Flores, the then-mayor of Donna, Texas. Newly resurfaced newspaper reports and court documents from the early 2000s show Gonzalez allegedly made “demeaning statements” about the local police that allegedly started the brawl.
The incident resulted in charges against Flores, and litigation from Gonzalez against him. But the broader revelation here is that Gonzalez allegedly maligned police officers the action Flores said led to the altercation something which has once again become politically relevant given the national leftist Democrat push to defund police.

Federal agents arrested a Texas border city cop who they claim escorted a drug load during an undercover sting. The officer in question worked in law enforcement in the area for at least 20 years.
This week, agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arrested Alejandro Martinez, a sergeant with Donna Police, on drug conspiracy charges. He remains in federal custody pending a detention hearing later this week. The case was first reported by local journalist David Hendricks from the
Progress Times.
A criminal complaint filed by the DEA revealed that on January 31, a “confidential source” wearing a recording device met with Martinez in the parking lot of a church. During the conversation, the police sergeant reportedly agreed to help protect a drug load that would be moved through Donna at a later date.
