Lewis "Scooter" Libbys prison sentence. I am writing to express my deep disappointment that U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean remain unjustly incarcerated for wounding a Mexican drug smuggler who brought 743 pounds of marijuana across our border. While you have spared Mr. Libby from serving even one day of his "excessive" 30month prison term. agents Ramos and Compean have already served 167 days of their 11- and 12year prison sentences. By attempting to apprehend an illegal alien drug smuggler. these agents were enforcing our laws. not breaking them. Mr. President. it is now time to listen to the American people and Members of Congress who have called upon you to pardon these agents. By granting immunity and free health care to an illegal alien drug trafficker and allowing our law enforcement officers to languish in prisonour government has told its citizens. and the world. that it does not care about protecting our borders or enforcing our laws. I urge you to correct a true injustice by immediately pardoning these two law enforcement officers. Sincerely.
