Count them! Thirty-eight lawmakers want a probe into the jailed border agents case. They have written to the Speaker of the House urging action
Thirty-eight Republican congressmen have written to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi asking for hearings to investigate the prosecution of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are in prison for their actions in the shooting of a drug smuggler given immunity to testify against them. The sharply worded letter, sent Tuesday, is critical of the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, and federal investigators.
The congressmen say “serious questions remain unanswered by our federal government over the apparently misguided prosecution of two distinguished U.S. Border Patrol Agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.”
Part of their letter stated…
Our Border Patrol Agents have an especially dangerous and difficult job, and because of the outcome of this case, many are now second guessing themselves and questioning when and where they should draw their weapons out of fear of prosecution. The safety of our agents and their ability to defend our borders has been materially damaged.
Lets see if the Dems pony up to the table on this one. We are thankful that at least some of our lawmakers are concerned enough to want to look into their case more closely. Hopefully it will come sooner tha later.
