EL PASO - The wife of one of two ex-El Paso Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting a man says her home was broken into and vandalized earlier this month.

Monica Ramos, wife of Ignacio Ramos, said in an interview on blogtalkradio.com that the family was robbed and that the intruders opened up the gas lines inside the home on Jan. 3.

The two ex-Border Patrol agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, have been in jail nearly two years.

In October, Ramos was sentenced again to 11 years while Compean was sentenced to 10 years in prison after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ordered Ramos and Compean to be resentenced after the appeals court dropped a tampering-with-evidence conviction. The dropped conviction did not change their overall sentence.

At the time of their resentencings in El Paso, the U.S. District Court judge reiterated the amount of time the two ex-agents were sentenced to could not change because one of the charges they were convicted of contained a mandatory 10-year sentence.

Both agents were found guilty of discharging a firearm during the act of a crime, an offense that includes a mandatory 10-year sentence. Ramos was sentenced to an additional year because he was also convicted of an assault charge.
