Many of our civilian border watch friends knew Robert. It was common to see him on the front lines at the Campo area border. He always had a smile and a big "thank you" when he greeted Minutemen and border volunteers. He will be deeply missed by his friends, fellow agents, and a grateful public.
July 28
Patrol Agent Robert Rosas was brutally murdered on duty the night of July 23 near the border by Mexican criminals who easily fled south back to Mexico after executing Rosas with mutliple gunshots to his body and head. The citizens of San Diego County are deeply saddened and outraged by this latest violence in America by Mexican thugs. Ernesto Parra Valenzuela is in custody in Mexico for the murder. Other suspects are also in custody. A vigil for the public is being planned for Saturday evening, 6-9pm at the Campo Border Patrol Station. More details soon.
