I was impressed with the Chair. Senator DIANE FEINSTEIN from California. and the questioning of Senator JOHN CORNYN of Texas at the hearing. The hearing brought to light the overzealous. overreacting and overreaching prosecution of these two Border Patrol agents. Ramos and Compean. It also showed us and the American public the difficulty our border protectors have on the U.S.-Mexico border. Chief Aguilar of the Border Patrol said today that violence against border agents has increased. In just the first 4 days of last week. 11 assaults occurred against border agents. Over 2.000 assaults have occurred in the last 2 years. and 12 officers have been killed in the last few years.
