Finally, Ramos and Campeon Are Coming Home.

Former U.S. Border Patrol agents Jose Campeon and Ignacio Ramos are finally coming home on March 20. Former President Bush, after 2 years of letting the border agents sit in solitary confinement in prison, commuted their sentences right before his term expired last week.

Campeon and Ramos were convicted and imprisoned for an encounter with now-convicted drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila. He had dropped one-third of a ton of drugs in the United States and was fleeing into Mexico when the officers shot at him and wounded him. He was granted full immunity in exchange for his testimony against of the agents. While on that grant of immunity, he was involved in another drug smuggling incident, for which he later was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison. He was not charged for the first incident.

This has been a travesty of justice and Bush let these guys sit in prison so he could lend legitimacy to his immigration stance. I am glad that they are now set to go home. The only sad thing is that were not pardoned and returned home immediately.
