U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso, has written a letter to President Bush asking him to commute the sentences of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean.
The men are currently serving long-term federal prison sentences for a 2005 incident in which they shot a fleeing Mexican drug smuggler and then covered up the incident.

Several congressmen have rallied behind Ramos and Compean saying the pair was unjustly convicted and are calling on President Bush to issue a pardon in the case.

Others say Ramos and Compean were tried properly in a court of law and should continue to serve their sentences.

"While I do not condone the actions of Mr. Ramos and Mr. Compean, I do believe they received excessive sentences due to mandatory sentencing guidelines," Reyes wrote to President Bush. "I once again encourage you to consider commutation of their sentences."

Johnny Sutton was on Glenn Beck this evening. Glenn really pounded on him. Johnny said that all you have to do is google his name and you'll see all kinds of hate against him.

For crying out loud, he gave a drug smuggler immunity and then a visa for the country. What else would be expect?

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS FUNNY considering reyes use to be border patrol chief in that area. and when they asked for help, he never offered or gave them any help, according to interviews given by the family. and he also went on the record aws saying hes wasnt at the time going to support them but he was going to support the judy and the decision.

i wonder what made him change his mind????

i dont trust Reyes
