Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos were border agents assigned to protect the border from illegal aliens and drug smuggling. Two years ago they ran into an illegal alien that crossed the American/Mexican border.
From here two different versions of what happened are told.
The Compean and Ramos story is they found Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila on the American side with 800 pounds of Marijuana in his van. Osbaldo fled from his van making a bee line for the border where apparently a ride was awaiting his escape.
Ramos hears shots fired and assumes his partner Compean was being shot at. Indeed, moments later Ramos saw Compean on the ground. Ramos continues his foot pursuit.
Ramos saw Osbaldo point something at him. Hearing the previous gun shots Ramos assumed it was a gun, therefore Ramos shot at Osbaldo. Ramos thought he missed for Osbaldo escaped to Mexico.
I have no idea why authorities would believe the illegal alien; however Osbaldo was offered immunity to testify his version of the occurrence.
According to Osbaldo, one the border duo knocked him in the head with the butt of a gun after he was pulled over. Thus Osbaldo fled for his life in fear the border guards were going to kill him. Osbaldo claims as he was running he was shot and wounded by these vicious rogue border patrol Agents.
A jury evidently believed the Prosecution and Osbaldo for Compean and Ramos were found guilty and sentenced to twelve and eleven years respectively by U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone in El Paso, Texas.
So check it out: Two American Border Agents working for the U.S. Government to prevent illegals and drugs from entering America were sent to prison for shooting a drug smuggler on the American side of the border as he fled and successfully escaped to Mexico.
Does that even sound right? If the Border Agents were over zealous they might warrant a suspension, but becoming convicted felons for striking fear into illegal alien drug smugglers? This is outrageous!
Twelve Congressman including Rep. Tom Tancredo (outgoing Chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus) have written and signed a letter to President Bush asking for a complete and comprehensive pardon for the convicted Border Agents. The White House refuses to discuss its intentions one way or the other.
There is also a petition circulating that has garnered 130,000 signatures. Could it be possible that President Bush will side with Mexican illegal alien drug smugglers?
