Ignacio Ramos

He was convicted of causing serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, and a civil rights violation.

[3] Ramos was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to 11 years and one day in prison for shooting a then-unknown Mexican National in the buttocks, Osvaldo Aldrete Dávila, who was caught with over 800 lbs.

[4] According to U.S. attorney Johnny Sutton, after the shooting the officers disposed of their shell casings, made no further attempt to apprehend the suspect, lied to their supervisors, and filed a false investigative report.

[6] Congressmen Ted Poe and John Culberson indicated that the Department of Homeland Security lied to them about the case when it indicated that it had evidence that the agents "plotted and conspired that day to go out and shoot" Mexicans.

[11] On April 23, 2007, the border patrol union released a no-confidence resolution against Chief David V. Aguilar for his failure to back up Ramos during the case.

[16] Although Bush commuted the two men's sentences, he did not grant them a full pardon, thus leaving Compean and Ramos with criminal records that made it hard for them to find jobs.
