    Two Border Patrol Agents Could Face Life In Prison

    On Wednesday, Border Patrol Agents Jose Alonso Compean and Ignacio Ramos were found guilty of intentionally covering up a shooting of a drug smuggler that happened at the U.S.-Mexico border near Fabens last February.

    After the verdict, neither man would comment after being allowed to be out on bond until being sentenced.

    "I can't make any comments, as much as I like to, I just can't. Sorry," Compean said.

    Prosecuting attorney Debra Kanof said both agents were found guilty of multiple crimes including two criminal assault charges, several counts of tampering with an official proceeding, including destroying the scene and not reporting the shooting.

    They were also found guilty of the use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime and a civil rights charge.

    This civil rights charge has the highest maximum sentence with both agents facing life in federal prison.

    Kanof said she believes jurors made the right choice.

    "If we can't have federal agents to respect the law, how do we expect the citizens to do the same?" Kanof said.

    But, Ramos' family said they were shocked and hurt when they heard the verdict.

    "There was no crime committed. These agents had 15 years experience between them. They have been involved in many drug busts, and have never fired their pistols and never aimed at anybody. They were responding in self-defense," said Joe Loya, Ramos' father in-law.

    "I thought the government was going to protect our agents and now I feel sorry for all of the border patrolmen who want to do their job, but they can't do it because of this," said Ernacina Loya, Ramos' mother in-law.

    Ramos and Compean sentencing is on June 8 at 9 a.m. in the federal courthouse.

    This is such a complete outrage? And yet, how many of these illegal drug dealers are serial killers and if they are caught they are just given a slap on the wrist, if that.

    Well, we have at least 12 million who don't respect the law.
    I guess they don't count since they aren't citizens.

    I don't know the facts in the case as I wasn't there to hear any testimony...but this sure appears to be a railroad operation.

    And when I think of how the prez and congress are ignoring our laws, aiding and abetting illegal activity...watching terrorism in our streets with not a word said...I wonder how long we can sustain such a country? We'll be ripped apart by the bias...good people railroaded to serve an unworthy aim, non-contributors lauded and given undeserved rights.

    Sadly,
    MJ

    It looks like the illegal drug smugglers,illegal murderers,illegal rapists, illegal child molesters, and illegal law breakers now have more rights than the legal American citizens do! They certainly have the media and and the pro-illegal advocates on their side What is happening to our country? What has happened to "the land of the brave and the home of the free"? I am so disgusted with our government right now, I feel I'm gonna hurl
    "My ancestors gave their life for America, the least I can do is fight to preserve the rights they died for"
