DALLAS – Attorneys say two former Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a drug smuggler and covering it up have been released from prison.
Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean each had their sentences of more than 10 years commuted earlier this year by former President George W. Bush. Their commutation becomes effective March 20, and both will serve out the remainder of their sentences in home confinement.
The men were convicted in 2006 of shooting Osvaldo Aldrete Davila near El Paso and trying to conceal it.
Ramos left a federal prison in Phoenix on Tuesday morning on furlough, according to a news release from his attorney David Botsford. The office of Compean's attorney, Bob Baskett, says he was released Tuesday from an Elkton, Ohio, facility.
“You can imagine his family and children are very excited to have him home,” said Botsford, noting that Tuesday marks exactly 25 months since his imprisonment.
