                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress with regard to pardoning Border Patrol 
                 agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

Whereas Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean protect America's 
        border;
Whereas the charges brought against Agents Ramos and Compean are unprecedented 
        and ill-conceived;
Whereas the Government's case is almost solely reliant on the testimony of 
        Aldrete--an illegal alien drug smuggler--a man committed to hurting 
        America's youth by increasing the availability of drugs;
Whereas the Department of Justice prioritized finding Aldrete and offering him 
        immunity from his actions;
Whereas the Department of Justice opposed allowing Agents Ramos and Compean to 
        remain free on bail while the appeals process moves forward; and
Whereas agents Ramos and Compean have reported to Federal prison: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of Congress that the President should swiftly and 
unconditionally pardon Agents Ramos and Compean.
