From the Washington Free Beacon: Texas Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred is featuring his wife in campaign ads to cast himself as tough on the border and immigration. Just four years ago, she sued to secure the release of dozens of illegal immigrants held at federal facilities in California, including one who was charged with assaulting and threatening to kill his girlfriend.
Alexandra Eber, who married Allred in 2017, sued federal immigration officials in 2020 on behalf of nearly 100 illegal aliens seeking their release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in California, according to federal court records. Eber, an attorney at the firm Cooley LLP, partnered with the liberal American Civil Liberties Union in the class-action lawsuit, which argued the illegal aliens should be released because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The attorneys fought for the release of 35 illegal aliens with other criminal records. Those immigrants included Anthony Alexandre, a Haitian migrant who was charged in 2016 with felony domestic violence for stalking, assaulting, and threatening to kill his girlfriend. Alexandre, who entered the Otay Mesa facility in February 2020, argued that his “asthma as a child” and “high blood pressure” made him a candidate for release from the ICE facility, according to the San Diego Tribune.
Now, Eber is appearing with her husband in television ads for his long-shot campaign against Republican senator Ted Cruz. In an ad entitled “Teammates,” Eber praises Allred for working with Republicans on a “common-sense bill” to secure the border. The couple does not specify the bill in question, but Allred’s campaign touts his support for a “bipartisan” bill, the Dream and Promise Act, which would grant amnesty to so-called DREAMers. And Allred has endorsed a controversial bill drafted by Sen. James Lankford (R., Okla.) that would raise the cap on foreign visas and allow nearly 2 million illegal border crossings each year.
Below is the ad just released last month:

The Democrats opened up the border because they believe that every single illegal alien is a future Democrat voter.
They don’t care how many Americans are harmed by illegal aliens. To Democrats, this is an acceptable price to pay to gain a partisan advantage. pic.twitter.com/epBHowKImj
