FOBP launches new FOBP News site
FBP has launched FOBPNews.com our newest website. Prior to March 2007, FOBP was noted for providing up to date border news including unjust persecutions of law enforcement, breaking news stories, and results of our own border investigations. Due to the time consuming nature of the prosecutions, and the fact that a consultant was managing content, we had ceased providing information for a few months. However, since making some internal changes, FOBP has gone back to the basics, which includes providing hot news items. We will be updating our site as often as possible though that will depend on time availability.
As history has repeatedly shown, when others have refused to take on tough tasks and cases no one else would, FOBP has stepped up to the plate and broken major national news during appearances before Congress or via news media, informing them about Raytheon's Project Athena, and the Great Miscarriage of Justice better known as the U.S. v. Compean & Ramos. We hope you'll come back and continue to visit our website and spread the word about our work as we continue our work to improve national security and the quality of life of America's citizens.
FBP's Ramirez to Testify before Congress Thursday
FBP launched our overhauled and updated corporate site on Thursday, March 8, 2007, which coincided with Andy Ramirez, FBP Chairman testifying in Washington, DC before the House Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Border, Maritime, and Global Counter-Terrorism.
Mr. Ramirez discussed issues pertaining to the hearing's subject entitled, "Border Security: Technology, Infrastructure, and the Human Element." History again took place as our chairman broke more major national news as he has done during previous appearances before Congress such as informing them about Raytheon's Project Athena, and the Great Miscarriage of Justice better known as the U.S. v. Compean & Ramos. His testimony is available at the Special Reports Section.

Man agents shot ran drugs into U.S. after he was given immunity, DEA report says
Published by the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin - February 27, 2007
The Mexican national shot by two Border Patrol agents in a drug-related incident in February 2005 brought a second van load of drugs into the U.S. while he waited to testify against the agents, according to Drug Enforcement Administration reports obtained by the Daily Bulletin.
Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila - who was given immunity by U.S. prosecutors in exchange for testifying against former agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean - is the focus of a November 2005 DEA report that identifies him as the person responsible for stashing more than 750 pounds of marijuana in a van parked at a house in Clint, Texas, in October of that year.
"(A witness) stated that Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila was the individual that dropped off the 1990 Chevy Astro van," according to the DEA document. "This van contained approximately 6 bundles of marijuana."
DEA interviews with the Clint house's owner, Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez, led to Ortiz-Hernandez's brother, Jose Ortiz, who told DEA agents that Aldrete-Davila had moved the narcotics from Juarez to El Paso , adding that the van Aldrete-Davila was driving needed work, so he referred him to his mechanic brother, Cipriano.
"Jose Ortiz thought for a minute, and then stated that we should know Davila's identity because he is the person who was shot by Border Patrol agents six months ago," the report states.
Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez also identified Aldrete-Davila as the van's driver after seeing a photo array, according to the DEA documents.
Aldrete-Davila was shot in the buttocks after fleeing a van filled with marijuana and running away from Border Patrol agents in a February 2005 incident near Fabens, Texas, about seven miles from Clint.
Ramos and Compean are now serving 11 and 12 years, respectively, in federal prison after being convicted in March 2006 of assault with a deadly weapon, attempting to cover up their actions, and violating Aldrete-Davila's civil rights.
Both men testified that they thought Aldrete had a gun in his hand while they were chasing him, and feared for their lives when they fired on him.
Aldrete-Davila was given immunity to testify against the agents, along with a special border crossing pass and free medical treatment at a U.S. Army medical center.
Western District of Texas U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, whose office prosecuted Ramos and Compean, has denied numerous times that Aldrete-Davila brought a second load of narcotics into the United States after being granted immunity.
Sutton said in a Jan. 17 "Myths vs. Reality" press release that "Aldrete has not been subsequently arrested for drug smuggling. Our office is in the business of prosecuting drug traffickers and alien smugglers ... If we had a provable case against Aldrete, we would prosecute him."
Sutton's assertion that Aldrete-Davila has not been arrested is accurate. However, an
Oct. 25, 2005, DEA report shows that DEA investigators believed they had sufficient evidence to indict Aldrete-Davila, but their requests to do so were denied by prosecutors.
According to a high-level source close to the investigation, Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Gregory was notified in October 2005 that Aldrete-Davila was being investigated by the DEA and that the agency had new evidence against him.
Gregory dismissed the warning, the source said.
Shana Jones, special assistant to Sutton, said she could not comment on Gregory's meeting with the DEA, or on the DEA documents.
"We have posted the transcript of the (agents') trial," Jones said. "We are not going to comment about matters that are under seal or are ongoing investigations."

Ramirez' statement on Compean/Ramos case @ Hannity & Colmes
Andy Ramirez, chairman of Friends of the Border Patrol appeared on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes show to talk about his charges against U.S. Attorney Sutton Johnny Sutton that a false statement was sworn against Border Patrol Agents Compean & Ramos last night regarding the March 18, 2005 ballistic report as well as the arrest warrant against the agents. Andy's official & complete statement is as follows:
On page 83 of the transcript of Agent Vasquez who was being cross-examined at the time, Judge Cardone says and I quote..."... Mr. Aldrete-Davila is not on trial. And everybody knows he's got a phone and everybody knows he was transporting the drugs, ..."
Clearly the dope was tied to the load van by Agent Compean, admitted to on the stand and to investigators by the doper, and here is recognized by Judge Cardone, while U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton continues to lie about it.
We need a special prosecutor from the outside who is not tainted by what's going on in El Paso, and who can investigate this mess and clean it up before we place more agents lives in danger. Right now agents are afraid to draw their guns to defend themselves for fear of being prosecuted while doing their job, though facing an enemy that's armed far superior than he or she is. This case places them in grave danger, but I guess that's okay if you want willing workers, terrorists, and drugs to get across and don't mind giving a spouse a flag to an agent killed in the line of duty.
As I testified last August before Congress, the region is filled with corruption as the drug cartels have infiltrated our government. That's why you do not hear of the bloodshed in El Paso that you hear about in Nuevo Laredo, and elsewhere. The dope is successfully crossing the border, and this case only further undermines law enforcement as the dopers know they won't be prosecuted, while the Border Patrol and other law enforcement officers will, including Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez of Rock Springs, TX, who was prosecuted and convicted by Johnny Sutton's office, too.
Congressman Ted Poe awarded FBP's Defender of the Year Award
Friends of the Border Patrol held our first annual National Border Security Conference & Luncheon in San Diego, CA on January 20, 2007. We also honored Judge Ted Poe, Member of Congress, with our inaugural Border Defender of the Year Award.
Congressman Poe was presented this inaugural award for his outspokenness on border security and illegal immigration, his support of law enforcement and his leading efforts to exonerate and pardon convicted El Paso Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. When FBP learns new but verifiable information, Mr. Poe responds immediately.
