Agents Ramos and Compean entered Federal prison on January 17. 2007. and are serving 11and 12year prison sentences. These agents were convicted in March of 2006 for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler who brought 743 pounds of marijuana across our border into Texas. Ramos and Compean were doing their duty to protect the American people from an illegal alien drug smuggler. There Is bipartisan agreement among Members of Congress that the overzealous prosecution of these agents. and their excessive prison sentences. is a tremendous miscarriage of justice. While our calls for a pardon have gone unanswered. these agents continue to languish in Federal prison away from their families and loved ones.
