|
The speaker of the House of Representatives will be asked to hold hearings on the case of two convicted Border Patrol agents for the shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler.
The request, which comes on the heels of the Senate's decision to hold hearings last week on the case, was drafted by Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, and was sent Wednesday to all House members.
After the House members' signatures are collected the letter will be sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee; and Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
The case involves the conviction of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean last year for the shooting of Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, a Mexican national, who allegedly smuggled about 700 pounds of marijuana across the border
