Texas Deputy Imprisoned For Defending Himself From Illegal Aliens
If you're on medication for high blood pressure, take some before reading this one:
After a Texas deputy sheriff fired shots at the tires of a fleeing vehicle that had tried to run him down, he was arrested for injuring one of the passengers, a Mexican who was being illegally smuggled into the USA.
Edwards County Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez could get up to 10 years in prison for doing his thankless job after being prosecuted by the office of Bush-appointed US attorney Johnny Sutton, which recently was able to obtain draconian prison terms for Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean for wounding a drug-smuggling illegal alien who had assaulted Compean.
Hernandez's boss Sheriff Donald Letsinger confirms that he "followed the letter of the law" in defending himself — for what little that's worth.
As Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) observes:
Once again, our government is on the wrong side of the border war.
When Hernandez is thrown in jail for violating the "civil rights" of Mexican invader Maricela Rodriguez-Garcia, he will leave behind a wife and 4-month-old daughter.
Prosecutors had offered Hernandez probation in exchange for a guilty plea, but he turned down the deal on the grounds that he had done absolutely nothing wrong. Unfortunately, trusting in the fairness of our moonbat-infested judicial system is hardly a safe bet — particularly in cases involving our invasion by Mexico, which has been sanctioned by treasonous authorities who unlike Hernandez really do belong in jail.
On a tip from Jimbo.

At least he won't be in Mexican Prison. (Any chance the leftist whackjobs will take a break from protesting Club Gitmo to pay attention to the horrific conditions in Mayhico?)

Sigh...another unbelievable story...why the heck do we bother having any kind of law enforcement?

Prosecutors offered Hernandez probation of a plea. Sound familiar? Compean and Ramos were first offered a one year sentence for a plea. When they refused, as did Hernandez, Johnny Sutton piled the charges on, just as he has done Hernandez.
So an offence that the U.S. attorney feels is worth probation is now worth 10 years for shooting a illegal hiding in a trunk (where he could not see her) along with her hand gun and shells.
Not to mention, she in now going to sue the government for violations of her civil rights.
Are we beginning to see a patter here with Sutton? I understand that he also has prosecuted an FBI agent for doing his job.
When will this out of control U.S. attorney be made to answer for HIS crimes?

Nice post. Illegal aliens are above the law and have rights superior to citizens. Citizens need auto and health insurance, need to obey laws governing wire transfer of funds out of the country, need to pay taxes, and can't get away with identity fraud.
Now, officers of the law are starting to get a taste of what President Bush and his support for illegal immigrants has meant to ordinary citizens for years. I regret the Border Patrol agents' and the deputy's persecution, but we should seek redress for all American citizens, not just law enforcement officers. We need equal justice under law.

Amen Loma, and I would add that we need a major reduction in immigration from third world nations, period. Many Mexicans love to brag about what they are going to do to white people when they become the new majority, and how they are going to take over... The famous George Lopez is one of them. During a televised celebration in Washington (with Bush in the audience) at Ford Theater, he told a joke that he looked forward to being able to tell his grandkids about an America where people still had white skin and his grandkids will say, you mean like that guy that mows our grass?? I find statements like that revolting.

This isn't the first scandal Johnny Sutton has been involved in.

A recently retired, high-ranking DEA official is calling on Congress to investigate the role played by a U.S. Attorney in the cover-up of an informant’s participation in mass murder in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
The DEA official, Sandalio Gonzalez, is pointing the finger squarely at Johnny Sutton, the U.S. Attorney in San Antonio, Texas. He claims that had Sutton taken action sooner in the case, more than a dozen people might still be alive today. As a result, Gonzalez says Congress must act now to get to the bottom of what Sutton knew, and when he knew it.
According to Gonzalez, who, until January of this year, served as special agent in charge of the DEA’s El Paso field office, Sutton was clearly aware of the informant’s participation in the murders by at least Feb. 24, 2004. That’s when Gonzalez fired off a letter to Sutton blowing the whistle on the informant’s role in the murders.

While working as an ICE informant, Lalo participated in up to a dozen murders between August 2003 and mid-January 2004 at the House of Death in Ciudad Juárez. Lalo had penetrated a narco-trafficking organization — headed by Heriberto Santillan-Tabares — that employed police officers in Juárez to help carry out the murders.
Public records show that Lalo assisted with the murders, with the knowledge of his ICE handlers and an assistant U.S. attorney in El Paso, Texas. Once the news of the murders became public, the law enforcers involved in the botched drug-war case went to great lengths to cover up their involvement — with the assistance of high-level officials within DHS and the Department of Justice, including the U.S. Attorney in San Antonio, Johnny Sutton.
In February 2004, Sandalio Gonzalez, who was the head of DEA’s operations in El Paso, wrote a letter to Sutton and an ICE official to express his concerns about the ICE agents’ complicity in the murders — which ultimately led to an attempt being made on the lives of a DEA agent and his family by narcos connected to the House of Death.
