PRESS CONFERENCE

Bipartisan Members Continue Fight To Save Imprisoned Border Agents

Announce Letter Of Support To U.S. Pardon Attorney

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 19, 2008
When: Thursday, November 20 , 2008

11:30am

Where: House Radio/TV Gallery

H-321

U.S. Capitol

What: Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and William Delahunt (D-MA) will be leading a press conference to announce a bipartisan letter to the U.S. Pardon Attorney asking for commutation of sentence for unjustly imprisoned Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. The agents are currently serving 11 and 12 year prison sentences, respectively, for shooting and wounding a self -admitted illegal alien drug smuggler. Both men have already spent almost two years in solitary confinement. Thus far, eighty-two Members of Congress, representing the entire political spectrum, have signed on to H.Con. Res 267 in support of commutation.

Members will discuss the injustices of the case, as well as, the misapplication of 18 U.S.C. 924(c), “the unlawful discharge of a firearm in commission of a crime of violence,” which placed a mandatory minimum 10 year sentence onto the agents’ convictions.

Hello folks!

After speaking with family and friends of Ramos and Compean I would like to ask everyone to purchase an American flag to be flown at the capital in honor of Ramos and Compean. We are asking that you request it be flown on January 17th as this is the date they started their prison sentence. Please send this request to everyone on your list. Since this request takes 4 to 8 weeks to process, the request needs to be made by Nov 21st, let's send a message to the White house. So request January 17th in honor of Ramos and Compean!!! Order one, order two, but let's get hundreds flying!!!! Please also fly your flags at home that day too!!!

U. S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher

Washington, Nov 13 - Washington, DC-November 13, 2008- Today, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher issued the following statement in reaction to U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone’s decision to leave the sentences of Border Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean unchanged:

“Many patriotic Americans are dismayed by the continued persecution and legal torture of former Border Patrol officers Ramos and Compean. The legal establishment has obviously taken its directives from senior levels of the Bush Administration.

“All decent Americans are now calling on President Bush to show some mercy towards these unjustly convicted men who never should have been prosecuted in the first place.

“This case is an ongoing travesty of justice that needs to be set right and I call on President Bush to do the right thing and commute their sentences

Thanks to Bonnie From Florida!

UPDATE. Bonnie in Florida won the gifts and the hearts of the Ramos and Loya Family.

Dear Bonnie, The Ramos family, Ignacio, Monica, little Jacob, Ryan and Aaron want you to know how much we appreciate you coming on board to help fight this travesty. What you heard on the radio Saturday was the truth and nothing but the truth. This was a case of aggravated perjury by not only the witnesses who testified under immunity from prosecution but also under the threat of indictment by the prosecutors. The prosecutors also committed perjury but the real killer was when the government admitted at our Appeal in New Orleans that the illegal alien and admitted drug smuggler had also told some lies as a key witness for the government at the trial. This is the worse miscarriage of jusctice that I have ever seen. God bless you and your loved ones. Joe A. Loya

I don't mean just signing a petition, or sending a fax.

Last Wednesday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans
denied the request for a new hearing by Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean.

The same court upheld their convictions in July, and offered
no reason for the denial for a new hearing this past Wednesday,
but one thing is certain...

the only way Nacho and Jose will see their children
before they are grown, is if grassroots America gets
involved.

I don't mean just signing a petition, or sending a fax.

It's more than that. I need you to be passionately involved--
making the Ramos and Compean plight your own, and committing
to doing whatever it takes to return them
as free men to their families!

Max, in short, you and I are their last hope.

I'm thrilled that you answered my call and took fast action by
scheduling your personalized faxes to the White House and key
members of the House and Senate.

I want you to know that your faxes have already been sent!

But, as I said earlier, we need to remain passionate--EVERY DAY
for Ramos and Compean. With that in mind, I'm asking you to do
two things right now:

First, call the White House. Weigh-in on the Ramos and
Compean tragedy, and leave a message demanding the
President do the right thing by pardoning them before
he leaves office.

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance


+ + +
Our last chance effort to move the White House to free U.S.
Border Agents Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean is underway,
and I believe Americans are indeed getting passionate
about the plight of these two dedicated family men and
law officers.

Max, on behalf of the Ramos and Compean families,
thank you for taking a leadership role in our effort to
bring them home.

Now I need you to take their plight and what we are doing
to your friends and family members. Please copy and paste
the below message, and send it to 30-40 friends--urging
them to get passionate for Ramos and Compean!

Follow up the message with a phone call. Max, grassroots
Americans are Ramos and Compean’s last hope for freedom and
I'm counting on your help in the days ahead to rally more
support for them.

Again, forward the message below.

Here is the White House comment line: 202-456-1414.

Please also call your Representative,
and urge him to champion a move to free Ramos and Compean.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I'm depending on our
team to help Grassfire grow this final push to free Ramos and
Compean. It simply won’t happen without tens of thousands more
citizens getting involved. Please forward this message, and
urge them to get passionate by clicking on the link below and

Ramos and Compean Petition Sign Tell Bush to Commute Pardon

HELP WITH 2 MONTHS OF BLITZING FAXES STARTING NOW

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

This week, many of our nation's top conservative voices and
organizations are in our nation’s Capitol pressing their concerns
about illegal immigration, and demanding former U.S. Border
agents Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean are set free.

Following the crushing ruling from the Fifth Circuit earlier this
year, I believe right now is our best opportunity to free
Ramos and Compean...

But how you and I respond over the remainder of the President's
term in office may well determine if they are set free, or
continue to languish in solitary confinement.

Click here for more:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=10726&CID=142&RID=18076253

++ "Mr. President, Pardon the Agents!"

Plans to appeal their case to the U.S. Supreme Court are at
best a long shot. Even if the High Court does agree to hear
the case it could be months--perhaps years...

These men need to be returned to their wives and
children--while they are still children!

Between now and the end of the President's term, I want
to "full court press" him with tens of thousands of faxes,
phone calls and petitions like he's never seen--each
demanding he pardon Agents Ramos and Compean.

It's no secret that every President pardons political cronies and
others who run afoul of the law before leaving office. We just need
to impress upon him that Ramos and Compean must be atop his pardoning
list!

Sadly, that's the only real, remaining hope for Ramos and Compean,
and I'm counting on our team to once again lead the charge and end
the long-suffering of Ramos, Compean and their young families.

Schedule your personalized faxes to the White House and other
key officials--including your two California Senators and
Representative by clicking here:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=10727&CID=142&RID=18076253

As always, if you prefer, please send the faxes on your own--
but do send them.

We have a short window to impress upon the President
the need to do the right thing regarding Ramos and Compean, and
we MUST make a profound and resonating statement.

Our FaxFire service is ideally set up for your convenience. But
even if you send faxes on your own you can easily access the
contact information and sample fax text by clicking here:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=10728&CID=142&RID=18076253

Again, this is probably our last, best opportunity to free Ramos
and Compean, and I NEED you to take action with me.

On behalf of the Ramos and Compean families, thanks for standing with
Grassfire.

RIDE FOR WHAT'S RIGHT: Maricopa County AZ

Quick Throttle Magazine hopes you will come out and support this important event:

On October 4th, 2008 RAIA Southwest will be sponsoring a benefit rally for wrongfully imprisoned border patrol agents Ramos and Compean.

In 2005, during a failed drug smuggling attempt these men were involved in a shooting resulting in the wounding of an admitted drug runner from Mexico. For doing their jobs, defending our border, and capturing a van loaded with over 700 pounds of marijuana, these agents were sent to federal prison for 11 and 12 years.

Join us in assisting their families.

Registration for the run is from 7 to 10am at Tosos Sports Bar & Grill, 2401 W. Union Hills Drive. Admission is free, but we are asking for donations to help the Ramos and Compean families. There will be breakfast provided at no charge.

The run will leave promptly at 10am. We will ride to the state capitol at 17th Ave and Jefferson for surprise guest speakers. Once the speakers have finished there will be a road march of bikes and cars heading up I-17. We will ride past the federal prison at the Pioneer Rd exit where Nacho Ramos is currently being held.

The ride will end at the Roadrunner Saloon in New River. Live music, raffles, vendors, and discounted food will be provided.

More information will be released soon. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

HELP NEEDED!

The families of the imprisoned Border Patrol agents are in dire need of financial support. They have lost homes, incurred large medical bills due to lack of insurance, cashed out retirement accounts, and the children of the agents have endured taunting by unsympathetic neighbors, among other things. The legal fees alone are in the multiple thousands of dollars!

By purchasing these bracelets, you are supporting the families of the agents and are also able to wear a fabulous conversation starter to get the word out to release these men and reunite these families! The bracelets are "border patrol" green in color with white lettering that reads "FREE RAMOS AND COMPEAN". Donations will be collected and after costs (about a dollar per bracelet if mailed) the proceeds will be split between the families.

For a minimum donation of $5 (five) anyone can be the proud owner of one of these silicon rubber bracelets. Buy one, buy a dozen. They make great gifts! Please make checks payable to "Ramos and Compean Support Bracelet."

Donations may be sent to the following address:

Ramos and Compean Support Bracelet

PO Box 159

Litchfield Park, AZ. 85340

Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing.

This group was formed by friends of the Ramos family to help collect money to defray their expenses and the expenses of the Compean family as well as to spread the word about these two decorated Border Patrol agents plight. After costs, all money will be dispersed to the Ramos and Compean families.

We are in the process of establishing a website.

San Diego Highway Dedicated to Ramos & Compean

San Diego Minutemen Freeway Sign near Border Patrol Checkpoint is Back Up!

24 Jul 08

28 days after a Federal Judge ruled that Caltrans did "irreparable harm" to the Constitutional rights of the San Diego Minutemen by unlawfully revoking our legal adopt-a-highway permit, thereby squelching our free speech, Caltrans finally put our sign back up today that they had ripped out of the ground literally in the middle of the night on Jan. 28th.

We are all thrilled to see our adopt-a-highway recognition sign back up standing more proudly than ever. The U.S. Constitution has thankfully trumped the lies and coercion of the illegal alien activists and the corrupt California Mexican Caucus, especially Assemblymember Lori Saldana who joined forces with Enrique Morones late last year to wage a destruction crusade against the fine, multi-ethnic Patriots of the San Diego Minutemen. Her malicious lies have been exposed for the judge and the world to see!

Judge Hayes also saw clear evidence that even the Mexican Government, via their Consulate in San Diego and agents like Morones who works for the Mexican Govt., put pressure on Caltrans to violate their own rules and the American Constitution, which District Director Pedro Delgado and Director Will Kempton then caved in to (see attachment).

We've all won a huge battle against the open border reconquistas and their agents in elected office, but the war is not over. Caltrans has still not given us our second AAH site on southbound I-5 that they unlawfully denied to us on May 15th. They are obviously still trying to please Saldana, Gil Cedillo and their ilk rather than follow their own written regulations and the LAW! We will be asking them one more time, nicely to give us that site or we will haul them back into Federal Court where will again hold them accountable for their deeds.

Also, the entire program is still suspended for new applicants while they continue to attempt to rewrite their regulations to exclude pro-law enforcement and border security groups from participating. That will never pass Constitution muster either. They are just wasting time and millions of precious taxpayer dollars. This long suspension is also leaving many California highways uncleaned or having to hire work crews to clean them. Gov. Schwarzenegger needs to get control of our state now, before the pro-alien liberals and special interest groups in Sacramento destroy it completely.

Thank you to Americans nationwide who helped us win this critical legal fight for our rights and to have our message heard by all America!

We dedicate this adopted freeway site to Border Patrol Agents Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean who are still fighting for their rights and freedoms that were stripped from them by corrupt Federal Government forces in the George W. Bush Administration.

Now lets all work to get these American heroes out of prison!! The time is now to release these political prisoners!

The San Diego Minutemen sign stands proudly next to Camp Pendleton (home of the 1st Marine

Division - the command I last served with before I retired in 2003) and right before the U.S. Border Patrol Station at San Onofre! There is no better spot in all of San Diego County for the dedicated Patriots of SDMM to be recognized!

Cheers!!

Judicial Watch Sues State Department to Obtain Documents Related to Jailed Border Patrol Agents

Regular readers of the Weekly Update will remember the names Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. They are the two Border Patrol agents shamelessly prosecuted by the U.S. government for shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler, Oswald Aldrete-Davila, on February 17, 2005. (The two Border Patrol agents were sentenced to 11 and 12 years respectively. Aldrete-Davila, who attempted to smuggle 750 pounds of marijuana into the U.S., was given medical treatment and immunity for his testimony.)

Well, on June 12 Judicial Watched filed a lawsuit against the Department of State to obtain documents related to the government's decision to prosecute Ramos and Compean and to strike a deal with Aldrete-Davila for his testimony. Judicial Watch filed its original FOIA request on April 17, 2008. The government failed to respond within the statutory 20-day period, forcing us to file our lawsuit.

(Incidentally, this is the second FOIA lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch related to the jailed Border Patrol agents. Click here for more information.)

Here's essentially what we're after in this lawsuit.

• Information pertaining to government deals that were made with the government of Mexico to bring Aldrete-Davila to the U.S. to testify.
• Any internal communications between the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department related to the decision to permit the lawful entry of Aldrete-Davila into the U.S. for medical treatment and for meetings with government prosecutors.
• Any and all records of the Diplomatic Security Services (a branch of the State Department) related to the shooting incident.

There is enormous public interest in this incident. Many people, myself included, suspect these Border Patrol Agents were railroaded by the government for simply doing their jobs. Given the controversy surrounding the case, the more the American people know, the better.

We continue to aggressively pursue documents related to the incident, and I will keep you posted on what we find.

LAWMAKERS JOIN JONES TO REQUEST INVESTIGATION OF PROSECUTOR IN BORDER AGENTS CASE Complaint of Prosecutorial Misconduct Filed Against U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton Washington, D.C. –

In a letter this week to the U.S. Department of Justice, Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC) – joined by Reps. Ted Poe (R-TX), Virgil Goode (R-VA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), John Culberson (R-TX), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Don Manzullo (R-IL)

– requested that the Office of Professional Responsibility investigate the actions of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton in the prosecution of U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. The agents entered federal prison on January 17, 2007, to begin serving sentences of 11 and 12 years respectively for shooting and wounding a Mexican drug smuggler who brought 743 pounds of marijuana across the U.S. border in 2005. Excerpts from the letter follow below.

“As Members of Congress, we write this letter to bring to your attention for investigation what we have concluded to be a serious miscarriage of justice by United States Attorney Johnny Sutton. Mr. Sutton supervised, and has vigorously defended, his office’s actions in a case wherein two United States Border Patrol agents – Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean — have been convicted, and each are now being punished by imprisonment of 10 years, for a crime that does not exist, and therefore, for a crime that could not have been committed.” “Specifically, Mr. Ramos and Mr. Compean were charged with violating 18 United States Code Section 924(c)(1)(A) by the ‘knowing[] discharge[] [of] a firearm ... during and in relation to a crime of violence.’ (Emphasis added). There is, however, no such crime. Rather, Section 924(c)(1)(A) makes it a crime to ‘use or carry ... during and in relation to any crime of violence’ or to ‘possess a firearm’ ‘in furtherance of’ any such crime.

And, as the United States Supreme Court recently pointed out, ‘discharge’ is only a sentencing factor to be considered by the judge after conviction, not by the jury in the effort to determine whether the law has been violated. United States v. Watson …(2007).” “United States Attorney Sutton secured an indictment charging Mr. Ramos and Mr. Compean with the non-existent crime of ‘discharging’ a firearm ‘in relation to a crime of violence.’

By this charge Mr. Sutton facilitated the conviction of the two border control agents by means of jury instructions that focused the jury’s attention upon the ‘discharge’ of the agents’ firearms, rather than upon the lawfulness of the possession, carrying, and use of such firearms in the ordinary course of their employment. Moreover, by this indictment and these instructions,

Mr. Sutton obtained a conviction of an offense that carried a minimum 10-year sentence, as provided by the statute, rather than the lesser-sentence for violation of Border Patrol rules and regulations.”

“It is our firm conviction that, by these actions, Mr. Sutton is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct, which has imposed an irreversible and substantial effect upon Mr. Ramos and Mr. Compean and their families. Prior to the return of the indictment against Mr. Ramos and Mr. Compean,

Mr. Sutton must have known that it was impossible for there to be probable cause for a ‘crime’ never enacted by Congress, as authoritatively and previously decided by the United States Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

According to Rule 3.09 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, a prosecuting attorney is to ‘refrain from prosecuting ... a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by probable cause.’”

“Mr. Sutton has manipulated the federal criminal code to obtain a conviction against two U.S. Border Patrol agents, preferring to win at all costs over his duty as a United States Attorney, and his duty under the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct. This is a matter which your office has a duty to investigate and, on the basis of what we now know, to remedy.”

The American People Deserve An Investigation of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton

Dave Gibson

June 06, 2008

Though he is sworn to protect the American people, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has been operating more as an agent for George Bush and the corrupt Mexican government, than as an advocate for the American people. Since taking office, Sutton has been persecuting American law enforcement officers when they dare to defend our border or block the path of drug smugglers. It could be easily argued that Sutton´s actions through his position as a U.S. Attorney, are contributing to the growing violence being perpetrated by drug gangs on both sides of the border. Read More
