My son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza of the Mesa, AZ police department was killed on May 12, 2014, in a violent head-on collision on his way home from work. He was killed by a repeat illegal criminal who had driven over 35 miles the wrong way on four different freeways before slamming head-on into my son’s vehicle on a blind curved transition ramp. This illegal alien was high on meth and blood alcohol over 3X the legal limit. Brandon was a fun loving, incredible man/son/brother/uncle/grandson along with being an amazing police officer who took pride in his job and creating a stronger community. My fight has always been about honoring my son and also about getting our politicians on board with the fight to uphold immigration laws and to put Americans first.
I spoke at numerous Trump rallies in Phoenix, AZ during the 2016 campaign, was a speaker at the Republican National Convention in July 2016, was a guest on the Hannity Town Hall in Austin Texas in August 2016 and spoke at the Trump rally afterward. I attended several of the debates between Trump and Clinton, was a guest speaker at the CNN Town Hall with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in January 2017, attended the inauguration of President Trump and was invited by President Trump to witness him signing the Immigration Executive Orders at Department of Homeland Security in January 2017. I was also present at Sec Kelly announcement of the VOICE Office in Washington DC on April 26, 2017. I was invited to a Round Table discussion at the White House regarding Sanctuary Policies on March 20, 2018. I was also invited to the White House in June 2018 to talk to President Trump on the Permanent Separation from our children at the hands of illegal alien criminals in our country. I attended the press conference afterward and was able to speak on this issue. I have been a guest on numerous Fox News shows telling my sons story and pleading with our elected officials to protect Americans first and foremost.
