Justice: Another border patrol agent faces prison after arresting an illegal alien smuggling drugs. When not being killed by guns funneled into Mexico by their own government, they are prosecuted for doing their job.
In a case reminiscent of an earlier injustice against those protecting our borders, Border Patrol Agent
Jesus E. "Chito" Diaz Jr. has been sentenced to two years in prison by U.S. District Judge Alia Moses Ludlum in San Antonio. The illegal alien he arrested for drug smuggling goes free.
In November 2009, Diaz was named in a federal grand jury indictment after an October 2008 arrest near the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas.
He allegedly used excessive force in lifting the arms of a 15-year-old drug smuggler who was resisting arrest to force him to the ground, then put his knee in the suspect's back and yanked on the handcuffs.
If you believe the complaint filed by the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass within hours of the arrest, the teen smuggler was hit repeatedly for refusing to give the names of those for whom he was running drugs. Yet at trial, according to Andy Ramirez, president of the Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council, the smuggler did not claim any injuries attributed to the arrest.
The smuggler, who was given immunity from prosecution, complained of a soreness in his shoulders that was probably due to the 75 pounds of illegal drugs he'd carried across the border in his backpack.
The court sealed the photos of the smuggler's body. But according to Ramirez, "The only marks on his body came from the straps of the pack he carried containing the drugs."

Thank you, Federal Courts. /s
Where are the witnesses? Why would a drug smuggler’s word, bought with immunity, be accepted over the word of an officer of the law?
The judge and jurors should be shunned and run out of town on a rail.
Here’s more, including a radio interview with the wife of the agent.

Diaz was in jail in solitary confinement for 8 months, even though cleared by ICE and his superiors, twice.
Congressman Duncan Hunter has asked Eric Holder to explain why the officer, who was cleared by his employers, was prosecuted over 2 years by our own Justice Department.

I figure there are two ways we can go.
1. Do/say nothing (other than the few who are speaking out) and soon we will be living under an open dictatorship.
2. ???????
Yes. I pray it doesn’t come to that, but if it does....
We’re two body-armor suits and a shotgun short, but we’ll be ready soon.
You are thinking of the Athenian practice of Ostracism. Tjhe problem is that Tejas is being flooded with revanchist and irridentist Mexicans. The people (demos) are being replaced. This is a symptom of the virtual undoing of 1822-35.
