Has it occurred to Joe that they're taking the action to protect Ramos' life?
I think it's standard practice to hold new prisoners in solitary confinement. Suicide prevention and new prisoner protection is what I've been told.
"run of the mill rapists"
Not true. I hear they just want to deport an ILLEGAL child molester. Citizens here have NO legal rights compared to our south of the border neighbors.
Has he even gone through the inmate classification process yet?
So explain the heavy shackles and the schedule. Explain the lack of exercise.
There's a rumor that a pardon is in the works. Someone could be leaning on them to drop appeals and accept a pardon. If they accept a pardon, they'll always be pardoned ex-convicts, even if their rights are restored. Capiche?
This is about more than who shot at whom, or who ran from whom. Something really stinks here, and the fact that these guys are being leaned on in prison is a convincing whiff.
Same thing.
I think the entire reception phase lasts from 2 weeks to a month. And that is with a gradually increasing degree of "freedom."
If we had a prisons expert here, we could answer the question.
Make no mistake, I think those guys are unjustly imprisoned and deserve a pardon.
Just once, I'd like to see a prosecutor offer a LEO a deal to testify against a perp who accused the LEO of something. How come the prosecutor didn't offer these BP agents a deal, to testify against the smuggler? World upside down.
You have to remember that this is "our" Justice Department, meaning one under a conservative president.
*ANY* kind of law enforcement officer will not last behind bars. Their only hope is solitary confinement.
That would have required L - O - G - I - C.
I'm way too pissed to properly respond at this time.
Not on immigration, he isn't. Nor on the subject of Mexico more generally.
Remember, just before 9/11, Dubya was calling the President of Mexico our "new best friend," and the Canadians were asking, editorially, "hey, what are we -- chopped liver?"
Then the sky turned black with smoke, Presidente Fox remembered something important he had to attend to back at his estancia, and for "best friends" we had to settle for whoever showed up when we needed them.
So who showed up in the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives when President Bush made his post-9/11 address to the Congress? It was Prime Minister Blair, his pockets bulging with old Royal Navy brass knuckles. Tony Blair ran toward trouble and caught our back, when other "friends" walked away. Remember that, as we discuss Mexico and Dubya's affinity for the Mexicans.
I disagree. If the BP agents are innocent, they deserve nothing less than full exoneration, restoration to their duties, and back pay, plus an emolument for having stood up to malicious prosecution.
And let's not forget -- if they're innocent, then someone else needs to be in those cells. Starting with that roach, the drug smuggler Aldrete-Davila, and possibly extending to the U.S. Attorney's office.
If this all starts to unravel and there's a stink, look for Aldrete-Davila to turn up dead or "disappeared".
I think they should go after what works.
If it's a pardon that will work, then that's what they should go for.
No sense chasing the unlikely.
Get free first. Then fight the other stuff.
