At 3 a.m. mountain time, former Border Patrol agent Jose Compean was released from the Elkton Federal Prison in Elkton, Ohio. Former agent Ignacio Ramos was released about five hours later from the Phoenix Federal Prison in Phoenix, Ariz.

Ramos and Compean will officially be released from Federal Bureau of Prison custody on March 20, but on Tuesday both were allowed to rejoin their families. They had been in prison since January 2007.

Ramos and Compean were in prison for shooting drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete Davila and then trying to cover it up.

On President George W. Bush’s last day in office, Jan. 19, 2009, he commuted the sentences of the two former Border Patrol agents.

KFOX has a crew in Phoenix covering the reunion and will have much more on KFOX News at Six, KFOX News at Nine and kfoxtv.com.

If Bush pardoned them why does it take so long to get out?

To give the other prisoners time to make one last strike at them. Ramos and Compean got lucky, they were supposed to die before their release.

He didn't pardon, he commuted sentences.

The 1st messican (ex)preznit, alberto gonzalez and johnny sutton owe much more for this crime against these men, their families and America.
