U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is one of 31 members of Congress to sign a letter to President Bush asking for a review of the sentences in high-profile border-patrol case with resulted in convictions for two law enforcement personnel
Thirty-one members of Congress on Wednesday asked President Bush for an “immediate review” of the convictions of former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who were sentenced in 2006 to lengthy prison terms for shooting a drug-smuggling suspect in the buttocks as he fled back to Mexico.
“Should you be unwilling to pardon Agents Ramos and Compean, as some of us have advocated, we ask that you then consider commuting their sentences to time served,” the Republican lawmakers said in a letter.
