Feinsteins
letter to Bush
Finally, even U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has
conceded that concerns about the fairness of the sentence are legitimate.
Given these facts,
we believe clemency is warranted for Agents Ramos and Compean. Agents
Ramos and Compean have now been in prison for more than six months. Agent
Ramos has been physically assaulted while serving his term and the
Agents’ request to remain out of prison while their appeal was pending
was denied by the Fifth Circuit. Both agents will remain incarcerated for
many more months, even if their conviction is ultimately thrown out –
unless action is taken quickly.
 Feinstein:
Yes. I learned what I wanted to learn. And, basically, I think this is
a case of prosecutorial overreach. Senator Cornyn and I have talked and we
have decided that we will write a letter to the president and we will urge
commutation of the sentence, both of Border Patrol Agent Ramos and Border
Patrol Agent Compean.
Dobbs: Senator Feinstein, can I just say thank you?
That's amazing.
And Senator Cornyn, it is -- I think for those of us who have been
following the case, to watch the five senators in that room today, to
watch each of you, it was restore -- I think we could call it restorative.
Border Patrol Agent - Jose Compean and Wife
Mr.
George Bush is going to be so embarrassed when
WE
THE PEOPLE demand
Ramos and Compean release from prison that he will have to beg for
forgiveness from his Mexican Masters!
It
is now time to send a boiling fax to all 100 Senators and 435 Congress
men! Tell them we want our heroes back, and we want them back
NOW!
CLUSTER FAX THEM ALL
435 CONGRESSMEN AND
100 SENATORS 2 TIMES!

U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, brought the issue
to the attention of Congress recently, where he outlined the
circumstances under which Hernandez fired several shots, including one
that left one illegal alien with a minor injury.
“Mr. Speaker, in the small border town of
Rocksprings, Texas, where drug smugglers and human smugglers sneak
across the Rio Grande into America, lone Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez
was on patrol. In the stillness of the vast night, a speeding Suburban
runs a red light. Deputy Hernandez, 25, stops the vehicle, but suddenly,
without warning, the vehicle takes off.
“Deputy Hernandez says the vehicle tried to
run him down. The lawman fires several shots, one of which shoots out
the rear tire, just like in the movies. The vehicle stops, and eight or
nine Illegals jump out and take off running into the sagebrush,” he
said.
The U.S. government then rounds up the Illegals
and, “Guess what, prosecutes Deputy Hernandez, claiming he recklessly
discharged his firearm and uses the Illegals as witnesses against the
lawman during a trial,” he said.
“Mr. Speaker, another example of how the
Federal Government is more concerned about people illegally invading
American than it is about the men who protect America,” he said.
The case is starkly like the case involving two
former U.S. Border Patrol Agents, Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos, who
were convicted of shooting at a fleeing drug smuggler who escaped back
into Mexico. They currently are serving prison terms of 11 and 12 years.
