I've been following this one, and it is indeed incredible. Instead of the commendation they deserve, our nit-wit federal government decides to jail these two agents.

A real life demonstration of the truth of that old maxim: "No good deed goes unpunished".

It appears we finally have gotten the federal government some of us deserve.

It's almost as bad as the guy in Az that was sent to prison for 5 yrs and the illegals got his land to boot. Pretty sad when a man can't defend his own property and the tresspassers win his land.

And there were FrOBLs giving each other cyber high-fives over it.

Thanks for that letter from the AZ BP. The U.S. Govt. has gone mad. The policies are insane.

Watching a CourtTV program called "Inside: Border Wars" which illustrates how you guys not only have to contend with potentially homicidal apprehends, treacherous terrain and unbelievable weather extremes but must be ready to perform as paramedics or soldiers on split-second decisions.

That our government is stabbing dedicated agents in the back by shorting you resources and technology is one (bad) thing - but trying to cow you from performing your duties with this court case is nothing short of reprehensible. If I judge someone as well as I think I believe their cause will be taken up by the House Immigration Caucus quickly...with embarrassment and humiliation doled out for the corrupt responsible.

The events for the agents start on Aug 11 and go to Dec 25-it can be extended. On Aug 22 "Nation to mourn the loss of FREEDOM for, Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean" is posted-I encourage anyone going to the calendar to click requests for any updates to be posted. The press is watching the calendar,

I am not an agent, I do all I can to help them get the word out to the country so everyone can understand just what the he!! is going on.
local2544 is one of the best sites to go to for messages from BP ground agents.

I would strongly suspect that the Mexican tendency to have law enforcement involved in drug activity, has been brought into the US melting pot, and is not melting.

It just takes a judge to lay down the rules in advantageous ways for the prosecution. The jury may never hear what they need to make a sound decision.

It makes my blood boil over what happened to two good men trying to enforce the laws of our country. And a drug smuggler goes free.

The Willcox Connection
Agent Tied to Drug Cartel Blabbed on Buddies
http://americanpatrol.com/
Lou Dobbs tonight - CNN - August 21
Wian:... Davila did have a bullet wound in the buttocks. And the smuggler had a childhood acquaintance, a Mexican-born U.S. Border Patrol agent named Rene Sanchez from Willcox, Arizona.
Bonner: As to why this Border Patrol agent, who was in cahoots with his childhood friend drug smuggler, why he's not being investigated, you would have to ask the Department of Justice and the Office of Inspector General.
Wian: The smuggler received immunity from prosecution, as did several other Border Patrol agents on the scene. But Agents Compean and Ramos now face 20 years in prison.
