Dyna - isn’t there a deputy sheriff that Sutton prosecuted for assaulting a van load of illegals - by firing on the van AFTER it tried to run him over? I’m sketchy on the details.

Millions of Americans will never forget the unjust persecution of these two brave border agents. W is very lucky that he at least commuted their sentences, as otherwise he would have been persona non grata in many grassroots conservative circles, it seems to me. Had he not at least ended their incarcerations, I would never have been able to look at him without thinking of what he had done.

Best of luck, Ramos and Compean! What goes around comes around. Your best days are ahead of you.

Ignacio Ramos, Jose Compean, Gilmer Hernandez, David Sipe, Gary Brugman...

It’s happening too often.

I think you are probably referring to Gilmer Hernandez:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1799044/posts

Guillermo “Gilmer” Hernandez, former Edwards County deputy sheriff, says he feared for his life and was just doing his job when he shot at the tires of a vehicle carrying Mexican nationals after, he says, the driver tried to run him down.

But federal prosecutors say that because the vehicle was heading away from him, he illegally used deadly force, violating the civil rights of a woman slightly wounded in the 2005 incident.

Hernandez, 25, faces sentencing March 19 in Del Rio, where he has been held in a federal detention facility since being convicted, in December. He faces up to 10 years in prison.

....Officials say an investigation by the Texas Rangers and other law enforcers initially cleared Hernandez. But more than a year later, the U.S. Department of Justice reopened the case based on the testimony of some of the illegal immigrants involved.
