It is not how they died that make them heroes,
but the selfless service, courage, and honor 
that they demonstrated during their lives.

Border Patrol Agent Dies in the Line of Duty

BORDER PATROL Agent ERIC CABRAL

National Border Patrol Council, Local 2366 is deeply saddened to report the death of United States Border Patrol Agent Eric Cabral. 

On July 26, 2007, Agent Eric Cabral and his partner were tracking a group of illegal aliens North of Interstate 8 near Jacumba, California when they separated.  At some point, the agents lost contact and his partner called for assistance from other agents.  Upon searching the area, Border Patrol Agents found Agent Cabral unconscious.  CPR was administered and emergency medical services were rendered on scene.  Agent Cabral was airlifted to a hospital in San Diego where he was pronounced dead.

Agent Cabral entered on duty with the Border Patrol on September 29, 2005.  He was a member of class 601.  Upon graduating from the Border Patrol Academy, Agent Cabral was assigned to the Boulevard Border Patrol Station, San Diego Sector.

Local 2366 sends our deepest condolences to Agent Cabral's family, friends, and coworkers.  Our thoughts and prayers will be with them during this difficult time. (07-29-07)
