Agents Voice No Confidence in Border Patrol Chief
The 100 leaders of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents the agency's 11,000 field agents, are unanimous, the Washington Times reports: They have no confidence in Border Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar. The council's vote to approve a no-confidence resolution stems in part from the fact that Aguilar has not publicly supported Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean, who were convicted of violating the civil rights of a drug-smuggling suspect they shot as he fled back into Mexico after abandoning more than 700 pounds of marijuana. Border Patrol spokesman Xavier Rios told the newspaper that there was "no greater advocate than Chief Aguilar for the agents in the field" and that Ramos and Compean "shot a man and made an effort to cover it up."
