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!!

From the Desk of Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton:
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.
We continue to aggressively pursue documents related to the incident, and I will keep you posted on what we find.
