3 The War on Law Enforcement How the Executive and Judicial Branches have compromised National Security while Congress does nothing about it As a result of information gleaned actively investigating The War on Law Enforcement between 2004 and 2008, FOBP Chairman Andy Ramirez has been able to factually identify what it all means and why law enforcement officers have been sacrificed for Globalism. This Executive Summary has been made possible due to the cooperation of active duty and retired law enforcement officers and the extraordinary legal counsels who have represented America s front-line law enforcement officers. The Customs and Border Protection Agencies known as Office of Field Operations, formerly Legacy Customs under the Treasury Department, and the Office of Border Patrol, formerly under the Justice Department a part of Legacy INS, have hung officers out to dry for prosecution and persecution. These agencies and others, in the words of hundreds of CBPOs and BPAs, are guilty of attempting to erase the institutional memory of legacy. Here is how it works: Law Enforcement Officers are prosecuted on flimsy evidence by the corrupt and morally bankrupt Department of Justice primarily centered on charges involving deprivation of civil rights of criminal illegal aliens including human traffickers and narco-terrorists. The names include Sipe, Brugman, Mohr, Ramos, Compean, Rhodes, Hernandez, Voorhees, and Corbett. Law Enforcement Officers have also been persecuted by DHS on trumped up charges to hide the incompetence of managers and SES level officers and agents, where the sole aim has been to destroy the credibility of federal officers and agents charged with the defense of America s Borders and Ports of Entry, including our interior. When officers file complaints through EEOs, grievances, formal complaints, and lawsuits, the agency s top managers have perjured themselves, conducted corrupted investigations, targeted honest officers and use tactics of intimidation and outright terror tactics such as placing an officer in harms way by stripping them of badges, firearms, and agency credentials. Additionally, senior agency managers use OIG, and OIA for political intimidation and retribution of officers, and not to investigate criminal matters let alone misconduct on the part of ineffective and corrupt employees regardless of rank and status. CBP has the worst reputation among any and all federal agencies for these tactics, which are effectively destroying previously proud agencies noted for high morale and esprit de corps. The processes for discipline and justice through offices such as LER, DRB, EEO, MSPB, and which includes the Office of Special Counsel (created by Congress), are absolutely corrupt and uphold termination decisions regardless of the facts and circumstances including factual presentations of substantiated willful and malicious ethnic, gender, age, and medical discrimination on the part of the 3

4 agencies as a motivational factor. Each board uses an Administrative Law Judge or Mediator who though technically independent appears and rules as if they were employed by DHS. I personally witnessed sworn testimony during an MSPB hearing by a local NTEU president, where it was stated that officers are constant victims of abuse and discrimination and to file reports would result in even greater abuse and retaliation. There has been a purge at DHS in CBP where Border Patrol Agents from all ranks including Chief Patrol Agent, Deputy Chief, A-Chief, and other top ranks, as well as Customs where senior officers, as well as sups, and mid-management officials have all been purged or are retiring years ahead of the mandatory retirement of age fifty-seven. Many of these officers and agents, I understand were so disgusted and unhappy with orders coming out of Washington, DC that rather than stay on for the sole purpose of collecting their paychecks, they retired early. This is experience that cannot be replaced as many had a minimum of 25 years of service. The agents and officers who have replaced these senior agents and officers include many who spent extensive time as bureaucrats at Headquarters instead of serving in the field. They have years ahead prior to retirement, and have bought into the philosophy. It has been proven in court and through investigative reporting that a number of senior officials at CBP are compromised and plagued by notorious scandals and misconduct such as a sex ring where officers received promotions based on the sole qualification of sex with the right superior officers, where lower ranking officers pimp fellow officers to provide willing partners for the sole purpose of sex, which has happened while agents were on regular and overtime duty and at agency facilities including garages while still in uniform. This process called is screw up, move up, or where monkey-boy officers have bought into the trade and commerce priority over national security a practice known as get along to go along. Agents and officers are being financially broken trying to defend themselves from trumped up charges, as they go through a process completely unfair and corrupted. When the officers and agents lose their agency provided appeals of termination/suspension process, they go to the same Federal Court system and face Bush 43 judicial branch appointees who have suborned perjury, protected dopers and human traffickers regardless of the facts, and where US Attorneys have participated in witch-hunts and directly prevented prosecutions of criminals in violation of our laws. These judges, such as federal judges in Miami, are not held accountable for their decisions including ignoring US Supreme Court rulings, and even when in conflict of interest due to outside or previous employment still continue to preside over cases and rule in favor of government agencies and former/current clients regardless of the facts and criminal activities by the agencies and officials including admissions of perjury. Here are some of the names of federal officers from a number of agencies being persecuted administratively, to destroy their names and credibility for doing their 4

5 jobs and standing up for their rights: Acevedo, Callaja, Cavicchi, DeSantis, Dopico, Jackson, Quesada, Saeed all sacrificed for doing their job. It is clear that the Executive and Judicial Branches are guilty of not protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States and are incapable of providing fair and just hearings, investigations, and trials. As such, we are confronted by a constitutional crisis, which as a result has reduced the United States to no better than a 3 rd world country. While two branches of the Federal Government continue to wage war against our law enforcement officers who continue to try to secure the nation and enforce the laws of the land, the third or legislative branch sits idly by and refuses to provide the redress of grievances by our law enforcement officers whose very departments and agencies are funded by the Congress under the U.S. Constitution going back to the founding of the Republic and since the adoption of our living Constitution itself. This raises the question, why is Congress sitting quietly and allowing this to take place? Should we construe this inaction as the adage goes, the silence is deafening. It is also clear that by failing to protect the citizens of the United States by continuing to place illegal treaties and trade agreements, which have yet to be passed by the Congress, let alone be heard in public hearings before the people of the United States that the Executive Branch of our government has compromised the security of the nation. In doing so, and considering the fact that the federal district courts are equally culpable in their inability to provide fair and just hearings and trails, both branches should be independently investigated by a nonpartisan special investigator who shall have the powers to issue subpoenas and prosecute those elected and appointed officials of our government that are responsible for this nightmare that are destroying lives, families, and reputations. Sadly, nothing can bring back Border Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar to his family, friends, and fellow agents. An agent of the Yuma Sector, he was killed in the line of duty on January 19, 2008, and is the first KIA casualty as a result of this administration s War on Law Enforcement. 5
