In order to gain a conviction against US Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, the US Department of Homeland Security has admitted it lied to Congress. DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner, testifying before the Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, admitted Tuesday that the charges he and his agency brought against the USBP agents were false and that DHS' agents had fabricated the evidence used to convict Compean and Ramos...Of interest is that the same prosecutor who gained the convictions of Compean and Ramos, US Attorney Johnny Sutton with a prosecution based upon bogus testimony, tried and gained a conviction for another US law enforcement officer who fired on illegal aliens. This time, it is Del Rio, TX Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez. In 2005, Deputy Hernandez fired on a van (smuggling illegal aliens across the US-Mexico border) that was trying to hit him. One of the illegals (ALL of these illegals have been given "amnesty") even testified that the van's driver attempted to run down Deputy Hernandez.
