Ignoring calls for leniency, the Justice Department has told a jailed former Border Patrol agent it will start docking his commissary account as a way to begin assessing nearly $7,000 in fines, even though a judge told him he wouldn’t have to start paying immediatelyJesus E. Diaz Jr. was sentenced to prison for two years for using excessive force in arresting an illegal immigrant who was suspected of smuggling drugs. His case has become a cause for defenders of the Border Patrol, and Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, has sent two letters asking Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to intervene and delay the fines.
But the Justice Department has not responded to Mr. Hunter and instead told Diaz they will begin taking $25 a month from his account at the prison commissary, beginning next month, according to Diaz’s wife, Diana, who is also a Border Patrol agent

Our bureacracy isn’t just laughing at us. I think I feel a little spit.
Let’s slide down the rabbit hole, shall we...?
1. The US gov’t smuggles machine-guns to Mexican drug dealers, arresting NO ONE.
2. The US gov’t launders money for drug-dealers, arresting NO ONE, as before.
Isn’t it a perfectly natural extension of that thinking to actively KILL your own officers, and even IMPRISON them, when they do their jobs too well?
Chilling, sure, but logical? Yes.
How would you like being a SEAL now, seeing your friends zapped by the bro’s the Prez HANGS OUT WITH, but then serving as the primary political fodder for an ObaMugabe re-election..?
Beam me up.
sonsof b1tch’s.
Who the hell are these people?
I know that people have tried to raise funds on the wife’s behalf. Do you have any update on the efforts?
No sorry I do not. I just happened on what is here. This should be national news across this country. Election year, the medica could pressure Obama, asking what is going on here ?
Whatever it is, it ain't raining.
Why don’t the “calls for leniency” people save their stamps and breath, and chip in to some sort of legal aid sufficient to get that judge to tell DOJ he really means it when he says hands off until the man is out of jail, for starters? The judge isn’t an idiot and can see this going on, but the proper motions have to be run through the court to stop it and that isn’t free.
a gang in the business of making conventional hypocrites look like saints

The Justice Department...told Diaz they will begin taking $25 a month from his account at the prison commissary, beginning next month.
The commissary account is used to pay for necessities such as shoes while Diaz is in prison.
The judgment in the case laid out a schedule of payments of “no less than $220.00 per month, due by the third day of each month beginning no earlier than 60 days from the date of release from imprisonment.”
Entertainment for the illegales that the Bummer just-us department is sucking up to?
With Obama, what formerly would be considered hyperbolically crass has become reality. And a transfixed people stares at this idol and goes DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH in a trance.
The gates of hell have opened wide and we are RULED by demons!
