their own government.
This wrong has been broadcasted to the American people over national radio shows - such as the John and Ken Show, George Putnam, Laura Ingraham and many more.
And we the people are fighting mad!
I called the White House - the woman who answered the phone knew of the U.S. Border Patrols' case because she is getting phone calls from furious American citizens. In fact, the woman who answered the phone AGREED - this case is just plain WRONG.
I am writing to express my revulsion that a hero like U.S. Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos is being convicted of a crime on TRUMPED UP CHARGES!!!!
Ramos has protected our nation from drug smugglers! He should be celebrated and showered in awards and accolades!
Since when did the U.S. Government base cases against our own law enforcement hinging on the testimony of a foreign national drug smuggler? Since when did foreign drug smugglers get to put U.S. law enforcement behind bars? Utterly outrageous.
The case that I read in the newspaper states that the drug smuggler changed his story YET that evidence was not presented to the jury - WHY? Below is the quote from the article:
"The Ramoses also contend Aldrete-Davila's story changed several times.
According to the memo, Aldrete-Davila told investigators the agents shot him in the buttocks when he was trying to enter the country illegally from Mexico. But according to Aldrete-Davila's later testimony and that of the agents, he was shot after trying to evade the agents upon his re-entry into Mexico.
The memo never was disclosed to the jury."
In addition, Ramos clearly states that supervisors were onsite - with him on the ground - and for that reason he did not contact them officially - SUPERVISORS WERE THERE!
US Attorney Debra Knof of El Paso, said that the drug smuggler did not have a weapon. How can you trust a drug smuggler to tell the truth??? WHY WOULD A DRUG SMUGGLER NOT HAVE A WEAPON???
There are so many holes in this OUTRAGEOUS case that is reads like a Twighlight Zone episode.
If the two brave US Border Patrol Agents broke with protocol during this dangerous and courageous pursuit - that should merely be handled internally. Period.
We the people are stepping forward to say to the US GOVERNMENT FREE OUR HEROES - heroes saving our nation from criminals and drug smugglers - FREE RAMOS AND COMPEAN!
