I definitely think Ramos and Compean should be freed. This was a grave injustice to them and I think it is shamefull that they were so badly treated.

7. Commutation Prospects: Former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean

Status: Convicted in 2006 of shooting fleeing drug smuggling suspect who was illegal alien; Compean sentenced to 12 years in prison; Ramos to 11 years

Pros: Crusade for clemency led by CNN anchor Lou Dobbs; commutation supported by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and John Cornyn (R-Tex.), as well as conservative lawmakers

Cons: Dobbs was no friend of Bush’s immigration policy; could be seen as endorsing police abuse

Politico Odds: 3 to 1
