At 3 a.m. mountain time, former Border Patrol agent Jose Compean was released from the Elkton Federal Prison in Elkton, Ohio. Former agent Ignacio Ramos was released about five hours later from the Phoenix Federal Prison in Phoenix, Ariz.
Ramos and Compean will officially be released from Federal Bureau of Prison custody on March 20th, but on Tuesday both were allowed to rejoin their families. They had been in prison since January 2007.
Ramos and Compean were in prison for shooting drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete Davila and then trying to cover it up.
On President Bush’s last day in office, Jan. 19, 2009, he commuted the sentences of the two former Border Patrol agents.
KFOX has a crew in Phoenix covering the reunion and we will have much more on KFOX News at Six, KFOX News at Nine, and kfoxtv.com.

Release scheduled to avoid media, I’m guessing.

Never happen. Scooter is of the wrong political persuasion.

They are not out of the woods.
They need jobs...I wonder if Rush or Hannity could use a couple of bodyguards.

Typical for high profile releases.

They need jobs...I wonder if Rush or Hannity could use a couple of bodyguards. They were given commutations not pardons...therefore they cannot own firearms.

I wouldn’t say it’s a correct outcome. How does one get a job with a prior felony conviction?

I’m happy for these two men and their families. I’m happy that Bush swallowed his pride and did the right thing. He should have pardoned them, though.
