A hearing has been scheduled in federal court on a request by Judicial Watch for access to government documents about any deals it cut with Mexico in the prosecution of two former U.S. Border Patrol agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.
As WND has reported, government documents already have disclosed the fact that Mexican consular officials were the ones who demanded a prosecution of Texas Sheriff’s Deputy Guillermo “Gilmer” Hernandez, who was brought to trial after two illegal immigrants were injured when he fired at a van that had tried to run him down.
