Bush commutes sentences of two former U.S. border agents
President George W. Bush commuted the prison sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, two former U.S. Border Patrol agents, ending years of debate over their 2005 shooting case. Critics say the men were unfairly harshly sentenced, while supporters view them as defenders of the border. They are expected to be released within about two months after serving roughly two years.
