Border agents who testified against convicted co-workers will be fired
Men who were at scene of shooting terminated for changing their stories
by Sara A. Carter
Two Border Patrol agents who testified against two co-workers convicted of shooting a drug smuggler will be fired for changing their stories about events surrounding the shooting, according to documents obtained by the Daily Bulletin.
Sources inside the Border Patrol also say Oscar Juarez, a third agent who testified against Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, resigned from the agency last month shortly before he was to be fired.
All three agents gave sworn testimony against Ramos and Compean for the U.S. Attorney's Office, which successfully prosecuted the shooting case in March. The agents were given immunity in exchange for their testimony despite changing their accounts of the incident several
"When you give deals to witnesses like immunity, the government usually gets the testimony (it wants)," said Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, a former judge and prosecutor. "This case is a perfect example."

I doubt, DC, that you have to deal with the consequences of large numbers of illegal aliens in your neighborhood. Your business gets to profit from the availability of illegal labor, you go home and leave others to cope with the crime.
Oh! They comment alright. Hear the screams of "racism"! They've got no other argument. I think they know it too and they succumb to the lowest of the low...the liberal "race card".
It was interesting to me that there was nothing on his site about any of this. You would think given his location and job description he would have at least weighed in. He sure is keeping a low profile.
That's what the prosecutor wishes you to believe, but it's not what really happened.
Border Agents Ramos and Compean
That looks like a pretty appropriate conclusion to me.
Does anybody think these agents would have been fired if there wasn't a public spotlight on this case? It took two full years to finish up their adminstrative actions?.... uh, huh, sure.
If not for the close to 200 million third-worlders and their third-world ways - corruption, socialist sympathies, inferior culture, etc. - that would necessarily come with that arrangement it would be great ;)
I can see the demographics personally...as I work in the entry level and lower move-up markets.
There is no crime to cope with, dirtboy.
As I wrote in here previously, I patronized the local 7-11 which became national news because of the hordes of day laborers loitering in the parking lot. Dozens and dozens of them. Not bothering anybody.
Yet, 100 feet adjacent, there is a homeless shelter filled with another minority group that incessantly begs for money and handouts.
The county has trampled on the citizen opposition to their plans to build another (3rd) day laborer shelter in the area.
And yes, I have indirectly profited...just like the County, State and Federal government is doing.
The vast majority of them are hardworking, honest and decent people. Get over it and stop whining.
The illegal immigrant is responsible for the economic boom in this country...like it or not.
That's totally hosed! I grant you immunity, yet you lie. I definitely have issues with this process. Very frustrating. First we have a drug runner crossing the border, and engaging two of our agents in a fire fight; Second, our border agents are prosecuted for following a perp who wrongfully entered the U.S. to conduct illegal business, which is illegal both in the U.S. and Mexico; Third, we have two agents who lied on the stand about the whole incident - they were granted immunity, after the government knew the two agent's lied. Something is very wrong with this picture.
You are dead wrong. I don't supposed you LIVE in neighborhoods with illegals.
If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck....
The entire chain of custody on the bullet fragment was ruined when the Army doctor (they took Davila to an Army hospital to remove the bullet) gave the fragments to Sanchez of HLS who took Davila and the bullet fragment to his home for the night; therefore breaking chain of custody and ruining the DNA in the process, too.
I just recently moved to the Villages of Urbana just over the border to the north..into Frederick County.
The only reason we don't see them now is because the houses are only a couple of years old and sell for $600K to $900K.
I hated to leave Montgomery Village for the logistics, but I traded a 1142 sq. ft. condo with a $500 monthly condo fee...for a 5,400 sq. ft. colonial where I can play on my 9 ft. pool table without ever having to use 'stumpy', the short cue. ;^)
In reading your posts, you are less involved emotionally then most of us. That can be a good thing. Allows more clear thinking frankly.
But one thing is troubling me. I agree that it would be better if these agents got their appeal heard and have there names cleared, that would be ideal. I believe the trouble is that, that may not happen.
These transcripts are sealed, are staying sealed, and I don't see and movement by our government to shine the light of day on what really went on here.
Why weren't they allowed to be out on their own while the appeal went forward? Why not? It happens everyday. Something is very major wrong here. It is driving the "close the boarder" crowd sense of justice bonkers.
The drip, drip, drip of the lies is only making matters worse.
