Mr. Speaker. today is the 64th day of incarceration for two U.S. Border Patrol agents. 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 agents never should have been sent to prison. There are legitimate legal questions about how this prosecution was initiated and how the prosecutors office proceeded in this case. To prosecute the agents. the U.S. Attorneys Office granted immunity to a known drug smuggler. While the Mexican drug smuggler waited to testify against our agents. DEA reports confirmed that be brought a second load of marijuana. 752 pounds. into the United States.
