"Gomez was captured on video bringing her children out of the building herself. She also said she saw no police officers inside the building."
She did what the cowardly incompetent police didn't do rescue children.
She isn't obstructing anything, and that threat is stupid because if it was indeed a decade old then the police screwed that up.
She needs to find a good attorney and press charges against the officer(s) involved and the police department for making unlawful threats.
And sue them as well if they start making her fearful for her well being, including her freedom.
The police REALLY don't like being made to look bad, but retaliation by people who are supposed to conduct themselves with a certain level of professionalism is twice as bad as when it's done by a common criminal.
OR she could send the video of her rescuing her own children to the FBI along with the recordings of the police threatening her. If she doesn't already have some, she should began and NEVER talk to the police without recording it
Recording Conversations Without Consent in Texas | Wiretapping Laws
With roadway cameras at nearly every street corner, video surveillance in businesses, doorbell cameras on homes, web cams on computers, and recording capabilities on mobile phones – we must navigate carefully in a digital world. We’ve seen titillating news reports exposing a secret audio tape of a public figure having scandalous phone conversations, or video surveillance of questionable traffic stops that escalate in shocking fashion. You may have had a suspicious feeling that you were being recorded, or on the other hand, felt as if you needed to record a conversation with another for your own protection.
With privacy seemingly harder to come by as compared with days long past—what does Texas law say about recording conversations? Is it illegal to record a phone conversation with another person? What about in person?

Under Texas Law, it is a crime intercept or record any wire, oral or electronic communication without the consent of at least one party. The good news is that you count as one party and if you’re recording then you have probably given yourself consent to record the conversation
