The Hill reported in 1997 that Jackson Lee had asked NASA officials whether the Mars Pathfinder photographed the U.S. flag that Neil Armstrong had planted on Mars. When this incident was reported, her chief of staff wrote a letter to the editor suggesting that she was targeted because she was black.[28][30][31]

In February 2013, Jackson Lee called herself a "freed slave" while talking on the House floor.[32][33][34][35]

The first (known) program of this type was started during the Bush Administration, and then known as "Wide Receiver". The plan was to take a few semi-automatic rifles, put tracking devices in them, and then sell them to people who would then take them, unwittingly, to the cartels. The plan almost backfired on the BATFE when the thugs who purchased them disabled the tracking devices. The BATFE, from what I gather, alerted the Border Patrol, who helped interdict the weapons before they crossed the border into Mexico. Move forward in time, multiply the number of guns by a LOT, no attempt to put tracking devices in them, actually let the weapons get to the cartels and have a pure political agenda for doing all of this...that is how "Fast and Furious" was done during the current administration.
