Rep. Dana Rohrabacher yesterday asked Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales to investigate what he called "the exceedingly harsh prosecution" of two U.S. Border Patrol agents now facing 20 years in prison for shooting a suspected drug smuggler in the buttocks.
"This proceeding has garnered national attention calling into question the administration's commitment to secure our borders," said Mr. Rohrabacher, adding that the two agents -- Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean -- "were simply doing their jobs to guard our homeland by attempting to apprehend an illegal drug smuggler."
