Two New Outrages of Justice Department Abusing Border Patrol Agents

"It appears we are giving more credence to directions from Mexican government officials than we are to the dictates of our own Constitution and the security of the people of the United States." - Congressman Dana Rohrabacher

The American Conservative Union: If you're outraged at the treatment of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean -- who were railroaded for defending America's borders -- then make sure you've taken your blood pressure medicine before you read what's coming next. Two new outrages have surfaced -- two cases of law enforcement officers being hauled before a kangaroo court, accused of abusing illegal aliens who actually attacked them, and convicted by perjured testimony.

The first outrage: Texas Deputy Sheriff Guillermo "Gilmer" Hernandez saw a blue Chevy Suburban run a red light in Rocksprings, a favorite sneak alley for Mexican smugglers of drugs and illegal aliens. .... U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton charged Hernandez with "concealing facts" (Sound familiar?) and "Violating the Civil Rights" of an illegal alien. Yep, the same Johnny Sutton who persecuted Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean.

The Second Outrage: David Sipe, a Border Patrol agent -- while on duty in Penitas, Texas -- saw a group of 12 to 15 illegal aliens crossing the border. He ordered them to halt, but two fled into a thick patch of reeds. Sipe went in after them and, according to his testimony, was attacked by Jose Guevara, an illegal alien. Sipe defended himself and struck Guevara with a flashlight. As a consequence, Guevara required five stitches in his head. ...Sipe was subsequently charged with with Using Excessive Force and Causing Bodily Injury. That was in 2001. And incidentally, Guevara was subsequently awarded an $80,000 settlement from the U.S. government -- based on the guilty ruling. Fortunately, that's not the end of the story. Sipe appealed and was granted a new trial by the federal appeals court. Why? Because the U. S. Attorney's office lied to the court in order to gain a conviction. What happened at the new trial? Sipe was found NOT GUILTY!

THE RAMOS-COMPEAN, HERNANDEZ AND SIPE CASES -- WHEN TAKEN TOGETHER -- SHOULD ILLUSTRATE THAT SOMETHING DEEPER... IS GOING ON HERE! The similarities between the Hernandez case and the Ramos-Compean cases are simply too striking to ignore. Johnny Sutton pursued all three defendants with cruel disregard for their records of spotless service as law enforcement officers. In both instances the government's case was built on the perjured testimony of illegal aliens and smugglers. In both trials, Sutton charged the defendants with concealing evidence; and in both instances the "concealment," if it occurred at all, was trivial and irrelevant -- a measure of Sutton's obsession to shut down efforts by law enforcement to seal our borders. In both cases, the law officers were defending themselves after being attacked. In both cases, these criminal aliens were given immunity from prosecution, and treated like visiting dignitaries -- a disgusting spectacle to law-abiding citizens who despise dope dealers and smugglers of human cargo. ...

Tying It All Together! Evidence has now come to light that in both the Hernandez and the Ramos-Compean cases, the Mexican government was behind the aggressive prosecution of these three law enforcement officers! Apparently, our government genuflected before the Mexican government and rushed out to accommodate the requests! We now know that in both the Hernandez and the Ramos-Compean cases, the Mexican government sent written correspondence to our government and demanded that our government "fix" the situation.

Something smells... and it's up to the American people to make certain that Congress follows the stench to its source! An e-mail to the President or an e-mail to an individual Senator or Congressman is NOT going to do the job. The American people need a full congressional investigation and the 69 Members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations have the power to make that investigation happen!
