A U.S. Border Patrol agent has been sentenced to two years in prison for improperly lifting the arms of a 15-year-old drug smuggling suspect while handcuffed - in what the Justice Department called a deprivation of the teenager’s constitutional right to be free from the use of unreasonable force.
* OH... FOLKS... JUST WAIT TILL YOU READ THE REST OF THE STORY!
Agent Jesus E. Diaz Jr. was named in a November 2009 federal grand jury indictment with deprivation of rights under color of law during an October 2008 arrest near the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas, in response to a report that illegal immigrants had crossed the river with bundles of drugs.
In a prosecution sought by the Mexican government...
* YEP... YOU READ THAT RIGHT!
...and obtained after the suspected smuggler was given immunity to testify against the agent, Diaz was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge Alia Moses Ludlum in San Antonio.
(The Mexican consulate in Eagle Pass had filed a formal written complaint just hours after the arrest, alleging that the teenager had been beaten.)
Defense attorneys argued that there were no injuries or bruises on the suspected smuggler’s lower arms where the handcuffs had been placed nor any bruising resulting from an alleged knee on his back. Photos showed the only marks on his body came from the straps of the pack he carried containing the suspected drugs, they said.
(*BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST THE DESK*)
Border Patrol agents found more than 150 pounds of marijuana at the arrest site.
* AND... THE "BAD GUY" IS... THE AMERICAN BORDER AGENT...??? THE HISPANIC AMERICAN BORDER AGENT...?!?!
* FOLKS... THE AGE OF OBAMA/HOLDER IS INDEED AN AGE OF INSANITY. THE INMATES ARE CLEARLY RUNNING THE ASYLUM!
The defense claimed that the smuggling suspect was handcuffed because he was uncooperative and resisted arrest, and that the agent had lifted his arms to force him to the ground - a near-universal police technique - while the other agents looked for the drugs.
The allegations against Diaz, 31, a seven-year veteran of the Border Patrol, initially were investigated by Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of Professional Responsibility, which cleared the agent of any wrongdoing.
* CLEARED!
But the Internal Affairs Division at U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled differently nearly a year later and, ultimately, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas brought charges.
* ERIC HOLDER.
The Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council said the government’s case was “based on false testimony that is contradicted by the facts.” In a statement, the council said that because the arrest took place at about 2 a.m., darkness would have made it impossible for the government’s witnesses to have seen whether any mistreatment took place. It said Marcos Ramos, the Border Patrol agent who stood next to Diaz, testified that he did not see any mistreatment of the smuggling suspect. The council said other witnesses made contradictory claims and some later admitted to having perjured themselves. Such admissions, the council said, were ignored by the court and the government.
* "IGNORED BY THE COURT AND THE GOVERNMENT" - MEANING ERIC HOLDER'S "JUSTICE" DEPARTMENT.
* FOLKS... I'M NOT BEING SNARKY WHEN I SAY THAT THE LEFTISTS OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ARE DELIBERATELY ATTEMPTING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY.
The council also noted that the teenager claimed no injuries in court other than sore shoulders, which the council attributed to “the weight of the drug load, approximately 75 pounds, he carried across the border.”

Tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities jumped 8.3% nationwide for the 2011-2012 school year...
* O-BAM-A! O-BAM-A! O-BAM-A!
* OH... BTW... KEEP ON BELIEVING THAT "THERE'S NO INFLATION."

* SUBTITLE THIS NEWSBITE: "AND YOU WONDER WHY I SAY WE'RE FUCKED?"
The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston has been treating [illegal alien and Mexican citizen] Francisco Martinez for three months since a workplace injury left him paralyzed from the chest down.
* Hmm... I WONDER HOW MUCH PER DAY HIS CARE AMOUNTS TO - ALL ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE TEXAS/AMERICAN TAXPAYER.
Since Martinez does not have insurance, the hospital is trying to point him back to Mexico...even offering the illegal immigrant a free flight back, which he doesn’t want to accept.
* QUITE UNDERSTANDABLE - ON BOTH POINTS! IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WE WANT HIM GONE... IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO.
The matter is a complicated one for UTMB, though not an uncommon one, frequently occurring in the border states.
“Under state and federal laws, we are obligated to provide emergency treatment without regard to citizenship, legal status or ability to pay,” UTMB spokesman Raul Reyes told CBS Houston. “There are no reimbursement provisions to the laws."
* YA, SEE... RIGHT THERE... THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A CLEARLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATE AND YET...
(*SHRUG*)
"Such a patient admitted to a hospital can be discharged after he or she is stabilized, with a patient’s consent or when the patient’s condition requires a transfer to a facility better equipped to continue treatment.”
* INSANITY...
* THE HOSPITAL SHOULD TRANSPORT HIM TO THE NEAREST U.S. GOVERNMENT OFFICE. PERIOD. LEAVE HIM AT THEIR DOORSTEP!
* OH... AND BTW... THE ILLEGAL ALIEN HAS A WIFE - BRANDI CULLEN VALDERRAM. AND GUESS WHAT?! (KEEP READING!)
Valderram tells the CBS that she and her son are staying in a shelter, while Martinez continues to be hospitalized.
(*SNORT*)
* THIS IS AMERICA 2011, FOLKS... OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS ARE SCREWED...
