David Allen Navarro and German Verdugo, assigned to the El Centro sector, were released Saturday from the state prison in Mexicali after each posted a bond of nearly $2,000, according to the attorney general's office.
The agents are back in the United States and on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the charges, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.
Okay... so they're in the US, but all charges have not been dropped.
Why would these guys go back to face trial and possible (likely) imprisonment? Why would the US force them to, suggest that they do so, ask them nicely to do it, or do anything but tell Mexico "Go piss up a rope. You have murderers that you won't extradite to us because you're afraid they might be punished 'too harshly' "?
What makes me want to scream is, I know that the two agents will be forced to go back to Mexico. They could face long prison terms just for having "military ammunition" (Oh, God, the horrors!) The US government will bend over backwards to defend Mexico's sovereignty. But we won't make a peep about the absolute lack of respect for our national sovereignty in the form of the hordes of illegal aliens they send us or the criminals they shelter from prosecution.
