Instead. the U.S. Attorneys Office prosecuted the agents and granted full immunity to the drug smuggler for his testimony against our agents. The drug smuggler received full medical care in El Paso. Texas. was permitted to return to Mexico. and is now suing the Border Patrol for $5 million for violating his civil rights. He is not an American citizen. He is a criminal. Although it is clear that the agents fired shots in selfdefense. Ramos and Compean were convicted mainly on the testimony of a habitual drug smuggler who claimed he was unarmed. Despite my repeated requests for an investigation of this case and a request by more than 50 Members of Congress for the President to pardon these agents. this administration has ignored the concerns of countless citizens who have cried out against this injustice.
