The sister of Vanessa Guillén, a U.S. Army soldier murdered and dismembered at what was formerly called Fort Hood in Texas, is floating a potential congressional challenge to Rep. Al Green, D-Texas. 

Mayra Guillén said she was considering running against Green after watching his outbursts during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress last week. 

After watching Green “disrespect” not only the president, “but our district, state and country, I believe it’s time for me to get into the fight like I did for my sister Vanessa Guillen!” Mayra Guillén wrote on X on March 6. “It’s time to end the propaganda displayed by these politicians, and time to help support [Trump] and his amazing [administration] to Make America Great Again! Al Green I’m coming for your seat.”

Local outlets, including the Houston Chronicle, picked up her potential congressional run in reports published Wednesday but said Guillén has yet to file the appropriate paperwork for a campaign. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Guillén for comment Thursday but did not immediately hear back. 

Green has represented his heavily blue Houston congressional district since 2005 and was unopposed in last year’s election. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., ordered the Sergeant at Arms to remove Green from the chamber when he repeatedly shouted over and wagged his cane at Trump during the president’s first congressional address back in office, and Republicans later voted to censure the long-time Democratic congressman. 

In 2021, Mayra Guillén founded the “I am Vanessa Guillén Foundation,” an advocacy group intended to give a voice to survivors of sexual violence in the military.

Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Hood, was declared missing in April 2020 from the base outside Killeen, Texas, prompting a months-long search. 

Authorities eventually said she was murdered and dismembered in an armory room by a fellow soldier, Army Spc. Aaron Robinson, who died by suicide on July 1, 2020, when authorities were closing in on him a day after Guillén’s remains were found. 

The only person criminally charged in Guillén’s death was Robinson’s girlfriend, Cecily Aguilar, who authorities accused of helping him mutilate and hide the body. Aguilar was sentenced to 30 years in prison in August 2023 for accessory to murder.

Guillén’s family has said they believe she was sexually harassed during her time at the Texas military base. While Army officials have said they do not believe Robinson harassed Guillén, they admitted in a report a year later that Guillén was harassed by another soldier at the base. 

Then-U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said during a visit to the Texas base that it had one of the highest rates of murder, sexual assault and harassment in the Army, later adding that the patterns of violence were a direct result of “leadership failures.” State and federal lawmakers passed legislation in 2021 honoring Guillén that removed some authority from commanders and gave survivors more options to report abuse and harassment.

Army officials disciplined 21 commissioned and non-commissioned officers in connection with Guillén’s death. Fort Hood was renamed to Fort Cavazos in May 2023.

The woman who accused Kansas City Chiefs wideout Xavier Worthy of assaulting her, resulting in his arrest last week, has been granted a protective order by a Texas judge, according to her attorneys. 

Worthy, a 2024 first-round draft pick out of Texas and the silver lining in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss last month, was arrested in Williamson County on a charge of assault on a family or household member in which their breath was impeded. 

Tia Jones, who made the allegation, was granted a protective order against Worthy after the district attorney declined to press charges against the NFL player. 

“Ms. Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself,” her attorney, Angelica Cogliano, said in a statement to The Associated Press. “In doing so, she looks forward to the facts and circumstances of that night coming to light through the formal legal process, and getting the justice that she deserves.”

Her attorneys added that Jones is “fully cooperating” with law enforcement as they continue to investigate the allegations. 

Details of the alleged assault were not immediately known, but Worthy’s attorneys said in a separate statement that the allegation was made after a female living in his home refused to leave when repeatedly asked.

CHIEFS’ XAVIER WORTHY AVOIDS CHARGES FROM ARREST, DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS

She was allegedly asked to leave “upon discovery of her infidelity.” 

“She has refused to vacate the residence and made a number of extortive efforts prior to resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr. Worthy,” the lawyers’ statement said. “The complainant further destroyed a room in the residence, scratched Mr. Worthy’s face and ripped out parts of his hair, which there is photographic evidence of. Worthy told law enforcement at the time of the incident he did not want to press charges against the complainant.”

Worthy was released Friday, and Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick later told the Austin American-Statesman his office had decided not to pursue the case at this time after speaking to multiple witnesses.

He noted that Worthy was cooperating with officials. 

The Chiefs said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Saturday, “We are aware and gathering information.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is launching a probe into the city of Dallas over the region’s sanctuary city policies that protect illegal immigrants. 

On Thursday, Paxton announced the investigation, as well as a formal request for city and Dallas Police Department records concerning the police department’s refusal to comply with state and federal immigration laws. 

“The law is not optional. Local governments do not have the authority to disregard state and federal immigration laws,” Paxton said in a statement. “The people of Texas expect law enforcement agencies to uphold public safety, not to implement sanctuary policies that put our communities at risk.”

“My office will take all necessary legal actions to ensure compliance with state law and hold accountable any local entity that defies its legal obligations,” he added.

Paxton’s office has requested all policies, training materials and communications related to Dallas’ enforcement or non-enforcement of immigration laws, including any records reflecting decisions to decline cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Paxton said the chief’s remarks “raise serious concerns” that the city and police department are possibly violating Texas law, which prohibits local entities from adopting sanctuary city policies that limit immigration enforcement.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the city of Dallas said: “We are reviewing the letter received from the Texas Attorney General’s Office and will respond at the appropriate time.”

Texas has taken a hard stance against illegal immigration, particularly during the Biden administration. The state deployed authorities to its border with Mexico and took on a campaign of bussing migrants to Democratic-run cities to bring attention to the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S.
