El Paso, TX — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., said Tuesday they had repeated their requests for President Bush to commute the sentences of ex-Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean of El Paso.
'Mr. (U.S. Attorney Johnny) Sutton, whose office oversaw the prosecution of the agents, has acknowledged in numerous media accounts and Senate testimony that the agents' punishment is in fact harsh,' Rohrabacher said.
Bush has until Jan. 20 to act on the requests.

Imprisoned Border Patrol agent Jose Compean is finally speaking out from behind bars, asking for America's help in contacting President Bush for an 11th-hour pardon.
In a letter sent exclusively to WND from the Federal Correctional Institution in Ohio, Compean urged supporters to continue contacting the White House so he and fellow imprisoned agent Ignacio Ramos may reunite with their families before the president leaves office.
