Lawmakers urge Bush to pardon 2 border agents (Ignacio Ramos, Jose Alonso Compean)

The Washington Times

A Republican congressman yesterday asked President Bush to have "some Christian charity and pardon" two U.S. Border Patrol agents facing lengthy prison terms following their convictions for shooting a suspected drug smuggler in the buttocks.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California said Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean are scheduled to begin serving 11- and 12-year prison terms, respectively, in January and called on Mr. Bush to "do the right thing and not allow the lives and families of these fine men to be destroyed this holiday."
