Mexico Intervenes in US Justice System?
| Investigators had no plans to bring charges against Texas Sheriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez until the Mexican government intervened and demanded it, the officer’s supervisor told WND.
Sheriff Don Letsinger of Rocksprings, Texas, said the Texas Rangers were not going to recommend prosecution, but federal law enforcement took over the case in response to the Mexican government’s intervention. Also, in the high-profile case of border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, the Department of Homeland Security investigation was opened March 4, 2005, the same date the Mexican Consulate demanded prosecution for the shooting of drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, according to numerous agency investigative reports authored by Special Agent Christopher Sanchez. |
