Remember the two U.S. border agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso, which were prosecuted and convicted in 2005 for shooting a border-crossing drug dealer in the buttocks? The convictions of these two men caused quite a stir in the local Texas community as well as the entire nation.
Well, it appears that the nation’s plight to free them has not gone unnoticed. On Bush’s last official day as President of the United States, he “responded to the calls for compassion” by granting commutations for both men. While I believe these men should have been completely pardoned, a commutation is almost just as good!
