The shocking decision of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton to throw the book at Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos, two brave and effective Border Patrol agents, will have a devastating effect on our efforts to secure our Southern borders. People nationwide are outraged. Many have expressed their indignation at this sickening misuse of our judicial system, which further hamstrings and intimidates our Border Patrol.

Tom Tancredo – Congressman, anti-immigration activist, and author of In Mortal Danger -- said: “This is not the message that our legal system should be giving to the drug cartels that are smuggling drugs, people and terrorists across our borders.” Andy Ramirez, of the non-profit Friends of the Border Patrol , said: “This is the greatest miscarriage of justice I have ever seen. This drug smuggler has fully contributed to the destruction of two brave agents and their families and has sent a very loud message to the other Border Patrol agents: If you confront a smuggler, this is what will happen to you.”

Congressman Tancredo and Mr. Ramirez are right. The drug cartels – and the Hispanic gangs like MS-13 – have just seen the light turn green. The Border Patrol has been stripped naked. It can’t fire a gun without risking ten years in prison. It can’t violate the speed limit without saying, “Mother, may I?” And if it detains an illegal alien dealing drugs, it may be violating his civil rights.

Twelve Congressmen have already expressed their deep concern to the President, saying: "[W]e ask that you use your power of presidential pardon, as granted by the United States Constitution in Article II, Section 2, to pardon these two Border Patrol agents.” The President MUST pardon these good men. The American people will not tolerate the imprisonment of two outstanding law officers who did nothing more than pursue an enemy of their country. This terrible wrong must be righted, if only to empower our Border Patrol to seal our borders.

Sincerely,
