Santiago Perez admitted, in federal court in Houston, to violating the civil rights of two immigrants while working in South Texas in 2006 and 2007

A former Border Patrol agent pleaded guilty Tuesday to hitting an illegal Guatemalan immigrant in the face with his pistol and to putting the barrel of his pistol against the head of another illegal immigrant while interrogating him.

Santiago Perez, of Edinburg, admitted Tuesday in federal court in Houston to both cases of violating the civil rights of the two immigrants while working as a South Texas Border Patrol agent in 2006 and 2007.

“Those who are sworn to uphold the laws are equally bound to follow them,” U.S. Attorney Don DeGabrielle said in a statement Tuesday. “An injustice has been recognized and accepted by this former agent’s admission today.”

Special agents from the Department of Homeland Security interviewed Perez a week after the 2007 incident where after picking up an illegal immigrant from Premont Police, north of the Falfurrias checkpoint, Perez drove him to a secluded area for interrogation.

Judicial Watch files lawsuit against US Government in Ramos-Compean case

By PMC General Comments Off

Osvaldo Aldrete-Davilla World Net Daily is reporting that Judicial Watch a so called “watchdog” group has filed suit against the US Government in an attempt to obtain details on the immunity agreement given Osvaldo Aldrete-Davilla for his testimony against ex Border Patrol Agents and convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who without provocation, shot him in the ass while he was attempting to flee back to Mexico.

How can we forget February 17, 2005 when Jose Compean, on Patrol in the Fabens area spotted a grey van being driven suspiciously by Aldrete-Davilla and the pursuit began that ended at the Rio Grande separating the US from Mexico. Aldrete-Davilla abandoned the van, later found to contain 750 pounds of pot and hot footed it towards Mexico. Encountering Compean on the levee, his last obstacle before the freedom of Mexico, he ducked as Compean tried to take him down with the butt of his shotgun. Compean lost his balance and fell on his face and came back up trying to shoot Aldrete-Davilla in the back. 15 rounds were expended and none found it’s mark. Ignacio Ramos coming to the aid of Compean who he thought was under attack, took one shot that hit Aldrete-Davilla in the ass, and causing immense internal damage. Instead of going to the downed suspect and rendering aid, and arresting Aldrete-Davilla,they turned around and made their way back to their cruisers where other Border Patrol agents had arrived and were searching the abandoned van. At that point, it was discovered that Aldrete-Davilla was a runner. Compean retrieved his brass and chose not to report the shooting to his supervisors as required.

By P.M. Corn Legal Actions View Comments

This would be a non issue and these two felons would be quietly serving their sentence were it not for the daddy in laws money. This was a point raised by the trial judge when she admonished Mr Loya about his attempts to influence public opinion during the trial.
