Attorneys Office prosecuted the agents and granted immunity to the drug smuggler. who claimed he was unarmed. The illegal drug smuggler received full medical care in El Paso. Texas. was permitted to return to Mexico. and is suing the Border Patrol for $5 million for violating his civil rights. Madam Speaker. he is not an American citizen. He is a criminal. Madam Speaker. it is ironic that one of the Federal prosecutors dismissed by the Justice Department. who never should have been terminated. was criticized for not doing more to try cases of illegal immigration. Yet we have a Federal prosecutor in western Texas. Johnny Sutton. who. instead of prosecuting an illegal alien. who was also a known drug smuggler. decided to give immunity to the illegal alien drug smuggler and prosecuted the two HispanicAmerican border agents who tried to apprehend the smuggler. Madam Speaker. this makes absolutely no sense. Johnny Sutton also prosecuted another law enforcement agent. Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez. Hernandez was recently sentenced to a year in jail for shooting the tires of a car transporting illegal aliens after the driver attempted to escape a routine traffic stop by aiming the vehicle at the deputy. Hernandez was charged with violating the civil rights of one of the passengers. an illegal Mexican national. who was struck in the lip by bullet or metal fragments. Citizens across this country and many of us in Congress want to know why does the U.S. Attorneys Office in western Texas choose to go after law enforcement officers while protecting the illegal aliens who commit crimes? The President has the power to immediately reverse this injustice by granting a pardon to these two men. who were doing their jobs to protect the American people. But. so far. the President has refused to stand up for justice in this case.
