The facts as I know them. (Please correct me where I'm wrong.)
Two Border Agents attempted to apprehend a drug smuggler enterring the US from Mexico illegally. They shot him in the tush, but he was able to escape back to Mexico. The smuggler raised a stink, and was granted full immunity current and future crimes in exchange for his testimony against the Border Agents. The agents were convicted and sentenced to ten years for covering up the incident because they failed to file paperwork properly. I also heard the Federal prosecutor withheld evidence.
Is this what Bush means when he babbles about homeland security - immunizing drug smugglers to nail Border Agents? Have the agents appealed yet?
numerous sources, that's why I'm trying to find out the truth.

Wolfpacker: thanks for details. While the President does not "control every charge or court case," he is responsible for the Department of Justice, which prosecuted these agents, and for appointing the judges who oversee the case (assuming this particular judge was appointed this century). He is also responsible for the actions of the Homeland Security Department, which lied under oath to help frame these two agents.

VineyardTech: thanks for details, although I wouldn't go out and shoot 1000 illegals, just the five who beat up Agent Ramos.
I smell a big fat lawsuit coming, which I as a taxpayer will have to pay for.

Agent Ramos was placed in general population. After the last airing of America's Most Wanted, Agent Ramos got the crap beat out of him by 5 illegal aliens wearing steel toed boots. Although Agent Ramos was beaten so severely that he was bleeding from his ears, he was refused medical treatment for over 48 hours. Kind of makes one want to shoot 1000 illegals for every Border Patrol agent that gets assaulted.

You have the basic facts which you twisted as almost unrecognizable. The Homeland Security did lie & claim they had paperwork that the 2 agents had admitted wrongdoing. The President was not involved or mentioned to be ivolved in any way. Do you people think he controls every charge or court case? For someone you say is dumb he has superhuman abilities to control everything happening in the world.
Homeland Security just admitted this morning that they did not have paperwork to back their claims thanks to Texas Congressman McCaul insistence of answers in hearing today. Yes, he is a Republican. One officer was beaten badly by illegal Hispanics in jail after the system put them in medium security prison instead of minimum security like they promised. It was suppose to be minimum security or isolation from inmates. I hope they are out soon as the doctor testified the illegal was turning his upper body with arm raised (sounds like gun aiming to me when you are running away). He has over 200 lbs of marjuana in his van & even his mother testified against him. Juries do not always work - 3 said they believed agents but were told they had to agree so they went along with the other 9.
I want a true jury of my peers if I ever go to court - they must be educated & reasonable people.

Wow I had never heard about this but I am certainly going to look into it. That was wrong for them to do. He was a smuggler and they were trying to keep him out of the country. That is some crazy sh*t.

You shoot someone unarmed, you must go to jail.
That is called justice.
Now, if you don't like the skin color or country of origin of the person being shot, that's a whole lot different: it's called racism.
