The pro-illegal scum in the justice department seem hell bent on sucking Mexico's balls lately with the two border patrol guards and now this sheriff deputy. Apparently the pro-illegal scum seem to be kissing Mexico's *** alot lately.

Gilmer Hernandez: Injustice At The Border Part 2
The town of Rocksprings, Texas is a small town – population 1,200 – with a tough battle on its hands. It's an old wool-shipping center where God, church and the border are at the center of life. The Edwards County Sheriff's Office keeps watch over the city with just three deputies, and most of the department's cases have to do with illegal immigrants. These deputies are the officers on the front lines, keeping watchful for terrorists, illegal immigrants and gangs coming across the border from Mexico. One of the deputies on the force, Gilmer Hernandez, earned $20,000 a year trying to keep order in Rocksprings. Day and night, Hernandez would struggle with illegal immigrants trying to come into Rocksprings. It's a dangerous assignment, but Hernandez was happy to do it.
On the night of April 14, 2005, Deputy Sheriff Hernandez was on routine patrol. In the stillness of the vast desert night, a speeding Surburban ran through a red light, and Deputy Hernandez stopped the vehicle. Investigators say that, as he walked to the driver's side, the vehicle peeled away, almost running over his foot. The lawman fired several shots -- one of which blew out the rear tire, just like in the movies.
The vehicle stopped, and eight or nine illegal immigrants jumped out and took off running into the sagebrush. According to reports, one illegal immigrant, a woman named Marcela Rodriguez Garcia, remained in the back seat of the car. She was hit by one of the bullets, and it shattered some of her teeth. She was treated at the hospital, and was released to the care of her husband. Deputy Hernandez reported the incident to his supervisors, who -- according to procedure -- called the state to investigate.
But within days, the federal government was investigating too. The Mexican consulate had sent a letter to local and federal law enforcement officials in Texas demanding a full investigation. The U.S. Attorney's office charged Deputy Hernandez with violating the civil rights of the woman in the back seat of the car. Prosecutors say that, because the agent's life was not in danger, he shouldn't have shot at the vehicle. Defense attorneys argue he was doing his job, and he did believe that his life was in danger.
WorldNetDaily: Sheriff: Deputy prosecuted by Mexico's demand
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.
WND can find no documentation of any Border Patrol investigation launched against Ramos or Compean prior to that date.

Hernandez stopped a van full of illegals for running a stop sign April 14, 2005, in Rocksprings. The driver attempted to run over Hernandez, prompting the officer to fire his weapon at the rear tires. A bullet fragment hit a Mexican woman in the mouth, cutting her lip and breaking two teeth. Hernandez, convicted of felony civil rights violations, is incarcerated in Del Rio, Texas, awaiting sentencing.
