Madam Speaker. today is the 55th day of an injustice. This Injustice began on January 17 of 2007 when two U.S. Border Patrol agents entered Federal prison. Agents Ramos and Compean were convicted last spring for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler who brought 743 pounds of marijuana across our border into Texas. These two agents were doing their job to protect the American people. They never should have been sent to prison. There are legitimate legal questions about how this prosecution was initiated and about how the prosecutors proceeded in this case. To prosecute the agents. the U.S. Attorneys Office granted immunity to a known drug smuggler.
