CNSNews.com) - A Christian group has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to have the photographs of the beating of Border Patrol Agent Ignacio Ramos released to the public.
As Cybercast News Service reported, Ramos and fellow Border Patrol Agent Jose Compean were sentenced to 11 and 12 years, respectively, for shooting a suspected drug smuggler.
"I believe once the photographs of this disgusting event are released, the anger that is growing among the American people about this case will reach a boiling point," said Rev. Don Swarthout, president of Christians Reviving America's Values (CRAVE).
"And President Bush will have no choice but to pardon Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean," Swarthout added.

The Truth keeps coming out time and time again with our Border Agents, and frankly I don't want to see the pictures it will only fire me more. Something has to be done, and pictures of what has happened to our Border Agents should not be what it takes. It should be the TRUTH!!! I cannot believe that it would take this level. I agree what someone else has posted, what kind of message are we sending about protecting our Borders from drugs from our children if we are going to lock up those who are protecting us?

I hope so, But you know as well as the rest of us. Its still not enough for him to see.
Think about this. Since Bush has been in office how many people have came over illegally. More then any number in history if I do recall.

what's wrong with us? why we are mean to our poeple who trying to protect our country our children from drugs. is this the reward. I am so mad at bush that I think he feal as president. look at our system is so corrypt. our politician are plying games on each other forgetting about the taxepayers.
I think they need to get those patrol officer out of the jail right now. Also I think they need to focus on our borders and country before we go out there and mess up or fixe somebody else country like Afganistan or Iraq.

It's a good idea.... people ought to see the reality of what's going on, it might give everyone a better appreciation of the injustice.
But Dubya is really good at ignoring even the most obvious facts.

the government dares to try and pass bills like HR 4437 after they've murdered the peoples culture, after they keep the people in extreme poverty so they can rob them of their resources in cooperation with the countries' corrupt governments? You still dare to blame these people for all of your countries ill's? You dare to say that these "illegals" as you call them kill so many of your people when in fact you've killed millions upon millions by bleeding them for their natural resources and cooperating with their governments (which you probably hand picked yourselves) to keep them starving and poor?
