GOVERNMENT IS COVERING UP 13 MURDERS,

AND IS SENDING THE ONLY WITNESS TO SURE DEATH AT THE HANDS OF THE MURDERERS......Another Cover Up at Border.....In what increasingly appears to be pattern of framing anyone who dares enforce the law at the border, it has been revealed that "respected" prosecutor Sutton is involved in covering up 13 murders and is a participant in shipping the only witness back into Mexico for sure execution by the drug cartels.

A paid Mexican informer for the U.S. government who worked in an undercover operation targeting a major narcotics cartel allegedly "went off the rails" and was involved in more than a dozen murders. Amid allegations of a bungled investigation and an accompanying cover-up, at least one member of Congress (Rep. Dana Rohrabacher ; R-Calif ) is calling for hearings into the matter.

Guillermo Ramirez Peyro, the alleged perp in this case, is now fighting an attempt by the U.S. government to deport him and said he fears for his life at the hands of the cartel should he be sent back to Mexico. And there are charges that our government is trying to get him killed. Period. No doubt.

Like in "what else is new" there is now a serious dispute between U.S. government agencies. Relatives of five people allegedly killed by the cartel in the Mexican town of Juarez - directly across the border from El Paso, Texas - have brought a wrongful death suit against the U.S. federal government. The suit, filed in Texas last September, cited government documents and contains claims that Ramirez had knowledge of or participated in 13 murders committed by the cartel - murders the claimants said the federal authorities could have and should have stopped.

Ramirez himself has admitted only to knowledge of the murders, two of which he says he witnessed. Should his appeal against deportation fail, Ramirez's removal from the country would rob the lawsuit's plaintiffs of a key witness. Meaning they can't win and all our government officials get off scott free.

In the view of a retired top Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent, that's exactly what is intended by those who are pushing for the former informer's deportation. "He would be the key witness," ex-agent Sandalio Gonzalez told Cybercast News Service. "What else could it be [but a cover-up]? They have protected him all the way. Now they want to get him killed."

U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, (the same guy who is railroading the Border Patrol Agents) whose office supervised the investigation, declined to speak about the matter since it is in litigation. Sutton is the same federal prosecutor who has drawn national attention for his role in the controversial prosecution of two U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot an illegal immigrant attempting to smuggle drugs across the border.

This disgusting saga began in began in early 2002, when the DEA, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Antonio initiated "Operation Sky High," a multi-agency bilateral investigation also involving Mexican authorities, targeting the notorious Vicente Carrillo Fuentes narcotics cartel. So we have a beef involving four of our brave government agencies wanting to cover up their guilt. How better than to murder the key witness?

Sandalio Gonzales was the DEA's pointman in the operation. A decorated DEA special agent, one-time president of the Federal Hispanic Law Enforcement Officers Association, and an official who was called on to testify on the agency's behalf before Congress, Gonzales was to become the most vocal government critic of how the investigation was conducted.

In January 2003, according to the wrongful death suit, the agencies tasked Ramirez to infiltrate the cartel in Juarez, with a key goal being the arrest of top cartel member Heriberto Santillan-Tabares. Within six months, however, the first sign of trouble appeared, when Ramirez was caught attempting to sneak about 100 pounds of marijuana across the border into New Mexico.

Now here we go: the agencies discussed the matter, and it was decided that the informer should stay in place. "After a lengthy discussion, the consensus was that if the CI [confidential informant] was closely monitored he could continue to be effective and provide significant information on" the cartel's criminal activities, (after they knew he was smuggling pot into the country). Assistant U.S. Attorney Juanita Fielden confirmed all this in a later sworn affidavit. (Fielden worked for Sutton's office and was directly involved in the cartel case.)

But if the agencies thought they had their agent under control, matters were about to get dramatically worse. On Aug. 5, 2003, an ICE agent contacted Fielden at her home with the news that a murder had taken place in Juarez involving Santillan-Tabares - and that Ramirez had played a key role. But according to the court documents which cite an ICE debriefing, Ramirez ("our" guy) not only participated in the murder but "supervised" it. The victim was a Mexican lawyer, Fernando Reyes Aguado, who was suspected of losing a delivery belonging to the cartel. The court documents say cartel members bound Reyes with duct tape and a rope and used a plastic bag and a shovel to kill him.

Upon learning about the informer's involvement in the gang slaying, DEA agents suggested arresting Santillan-Tabares immediately and urged ICE to "take down" the operation, Gonzalez confirmed in an interview.

Oh no, said ICE. Both ICE and the U.S. Attorney's office rejected the recommendation, Gonzalez said. In her affidavit, Fielden said she reviewed the Attorney General's guidelines regarding criminal activity by a confidential informer. "ICE management in El Paso and in Washington D.C. approved the continued investigation of Santillan-Tabares," she wrote.

In Gonzales' view, the decision not to capture the gang boss and wind up the operation ended up costing the lives of at least 13 other people who were killed in the ensuing months by the cartel in Juarez.

Statements from key players and documents before court shed light on a drama involving an out-of-control operative, dangerous druglords, crooked Mexican police, and a serious dispute between U.S. government agencies.

Relatives of five people allegedly killed by the cartel in the Mexican town of Juarez - directly across the border from El Paso, Texas - have brought a wrongful death suit against the U.S. federal government.

Our ever vigilant MSM continues their silence. You can read all the gory details HERE. It looks like thirteen murders will be "overlooked" and the only guy who can blow the whistle will be murdered by our government. See a shorter story here.

Whoopsie, my bad. The original link is over at the best blog on the Border Patrol thing on the web. It's called Sue Bob's Diary.
