Glen Beck Interview of Border Patrol Agent Diaz' Wife

Border Patrol Agent Jesus “Chito” Diaz was arrested and convicted for what amounts to him ‘doing his job’, after being cleared of any wrongdoing by Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Office of Professional Responsibility.

Customs and Border Protection Office of Internal Affairs decided to pursue the matter on their own and convinced the United States Attorney in the Western District of Texas to prosecute Diaz.

Diana Diaz, a Supervisory Border Patrol Agent and the wife of Jesus Diaz was interviewed on the Glen Beck Show last week.  Diaz continues to maintain that he did nothing wrong and is a victim of both internal Border Patrol politics and corrupt U.S. - Mexico relations.

“Chito” Diaz has served for 8+ years in the Border Patrol. His wife Diana has been a BP agent for 15 years and currently is a Field Operations Supervisor (FOS). They have 4 children together, including an infant born in March 2011. Mr. Diaz also has 2 children from his previous marriage. Numerous family members also serve in law enforcement in Texas and New Mexico.

Jesus Enrique Diaz, Jr., a Border Patrol Agent, was maliciously prosecuted at the request of the Mexican Consul in Eagle Pass, Texas. After a thorough independent review, we concluded that this case was pushed in order to hand the Mexican Government a Border Patrol agent’s scalp.

This case was solely motivated by politics and is yet another example of prosecutorial abuse and misconduct while protecting Mexico’s narco-terror influences. The sole issue here is Agent Diaz was accused of pulling on the handcuffs of a doper while allegedly questioning him about a dope load. The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas who prosecuted this case for the Department of In-Justice painted the doper as a poor victim selling drugs to make money for his family.

Officials with the Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council said the prison term for Diaz was for “deprivation of rights under the color of law in allegedly lifting the arms of an illegal alien drug smuggler.”

“We have reviewed the paperwork … as well as the official court transcripts. … The government’s case is based on false testimony that is contradicted by the facts. This includes the charge that Agent Diaz was physically abusive to the then minor ‘MBE’ as noted by court documents and transcripts in that Diaz allegedly put his knee on his back and pulled back on his handcuffs,” said a statement prepared by Andy Ramirez, president of the LEOAC.

Other witnesses who claimed to have seen any misbehavior also could not, as it was 2 a.m. and dark at the time of the incident on Oct. 16, 2008, the organization said.

“The agent who stood next to Mr. Diaz, Marco Ramos testified that he did not see anything that was claimed to have taken place,” noted Ramirez.

Those who testified against Diaz not only didn’t raise any objection at the time, they “went off-duty to a local ‘Whataburger’ restaurant, got their stories straight and reported it hours later to an off-duty supervisor at his house.

“The doper claimed he suffered no injuries during his testimony during the trial. He was sore from his shoulders. However, that was due to the weight of the drug load, approximately 75 pounds that he carried across the border. There were two dopers apprehended during the incident and 150 pounds total drugs seized,” the agent’s support team said.

The then-minor lied to the field agents, the Border Patrol station, the government and the consulate, as well as the grand jury.

He “then admitted to his lies … after being granted immunity,” Ramirez said.

Diaz’ wife, in a statement released through LEOAC, said, “This is a bogus case to begin with as the facts clearly showed.”

“We will continue to lead this fight and stand by Chito, Diana, and their children until his name is cleared,” said Ramirez. “Having worked on as many cases as we have, this one is without question, the most atrocious yet. It is clear that our government gave Mexico City the scalp of yet another agent.”

He noted Diaz previously was cleared by the Office of Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility.

The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas previously prosecuted Border Patrol Agents Gary Brugman, Jose Compean, and Ignacio Ramos, FBI Special Agent in Charge Hardrick Crawford, Edwards County Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez, as well as Celerino ‘Cele’ Castillo a retired DEA Agent who blew the whistle on the Iran-Contra scandel.

The Obama Administration put the full weight of the Justice Department behind this prosecution to give the Mexican Government a Border Patrol Agent’s scalp and to send a message to all Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs agents: JUST SAY NO TO IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT in the United States of America.  Click Here to Support Agent Diaz
