Second Border Patrol agent resentenced

EL PASO - A second former Border Patrol agent, Ignacio Ramos, was resentenced on Thursday to the same 11-year prison sentence that was originally levied on him in 2006 by U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone.
Ramos had to return to court in El Paso for resentencing after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans dropped a tampering-with-evidence conviction against him and ordered the resentencing. Ramos' partner, agent Jose Alonso Compean, was resentenced on Wednesday and he too received the same 12-year sentence he had previously been given.
Ramos and Compean, who were arrested, indicted and convicted for shooting a drug smuggler in the buttocks, have been at the center of a national movement to overturn their convictions.
