On February 3, Fox TV’s “America’s Most Wanted” ran a story featuring Agents Ramos and Compean. From the AMW website:

For Border Patrol Agents Joe Compean and Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos, February 7, 2005 [sic: February 17] was just another day of endless watching and waiting
for illegal immigrants to cross the Rio Grande into the U.S. But catching illegals was a piece of cake compared to their battle against
the drug cartels who are better-armed and whose foot soldiers outnumber them.

Over the last ten years or so, agents have been involved in a guardians of the Border have

suffered no casualties. But the though is always there: "Is this gonna be my day? Will I make it home tonight?" growing number of gun battles with drug runners on this side of the border. To say the least, the bad guys are getting more brazen and trigger-happy. So far, at least four smugglers have been killed.

Compean and Ramos may have been wondering that very thing as the events of February 7 began to unfold.

According to the National Border Patrol Council, the Department of Justice twice asked that the show not be aired! Watch the video and then take action to free these border agents!
