AndyRamirez.com is pleased to provide both press clippings from 1993-2005 and tv news coverage from 2005-2009. I've also added my news reports as National Correspondent for the Liberty News Network here at the Videos Center. I've posted interviews by some of tv's biggest names, including: FNC's Fox & Friends, Hannity & Colmes, Neil Cavuto, as well as CNN's Lou Dobbs, and local network affiliate coverage from ABC-7 (LA), and FOX-6 (San Diego). I have just added 4 clips from my appearance before Congress as an expert witness on July 5, 2006. Additionally, I've posted my War on Law Enforcement Press Conference, which I conducted outside the Department of Justice in Washington on April 24, 2007. My guests included a number of victims of questionable prosecutions or their representatives. However, as the Ramos/Compean case was so well covered by the media, I have chosen to focus on those whose stories are not as well known. There is no question that Gary Brugman, Robert Rhodes, and David Sipe did their jobs and the government's cases had zero merit whatsoever. Just added is my latest news story, the US Dept of Justice has gone after another BP Agent at the request of the Mexican Government (see the first story below).

In Andy's latest exclusive report, he exposes CBP Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar as an person akin to the infamous "Baghdad Bob" of the Saddam Hussein regime given the years of Aguilar's misinformation and doubletalk.
In Andy's exclusive interview with retired BP A-Chief Kent Lundgren, Chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers they discuss the Border Patrol, DHS, Legacy INS, & Obamnesty. It's a straight forward, candid interview with a patriot who tells is as it is!
In Andy's newest report on the Border Patrol also addresses a Congressional bill H.R. 98. This sizzling reports features exclusive obtained footage of David Aguilar discussing the bill and amnesty. Does he support it or not, you decide!
In Andy's report on the failure of DHS to secure the borders, Andy reports from Port Huron, MI at the U.S. - Canadian border. Andy talks about illegal immigration, smuggling, and how it happens in this part of America.
In Andy's report on the U.S. vs. BP Agent Jesus Diaz case, I am joined for an interview by Jesus wife' Diana and his brother Luis to discuss the bond hearing and update us all on this case of unbelievable injustice. Just when you think a clear cut case of government misconduct can't get worse, it does. Yet further proof our justice system is not too far from how things are in Mexico and elsewhere.
Andy's report on the bogus prosecution against Border Patrol Agent Diaz --- In this story, we know that Shawn Moran, NBPC (agents union) spokesman, called into the Roger Hedgecock radio show and attempted to sabotage the Diaz family efforts to seek justice but contradicted himself admitting the case is an overreach. However, we examine Moran's role as official union spokesman and a few other things. You won't want to miss this latest report.
Andy's report on the bogus prosecution against Border Patrol Agent Diaz --- In this story, Shawn Moran, NBPC (agents union) spokesman, calls into the Roger Hedgecock national radio show after Roger interviewed Mrs. Diana Diaz. Moran than contridicts himself repeatedly and tries to sabotage Diaz' family efforts to seek justice for the questionable prosecution, which was pressed for by Mexico. Mrs. Diaz is given her chance to respond to statements by union officials afterwards. It's a stunning development that you won't want to miss.
Andy's update on the Diaz case --- Border Patrol Agent Jesus Diaz was prosecuted by the government after receiving a complaint from the Mexican Government. In this exclusive report, Andy examines the case and where BP agents' legal defense fund dues go. Where you ask? PORAC, or Peace Officers Association of California, provides legal defense while paying out massive amounts to pro-amnesty/open borders politicians throughout California including the California Democratic Party. Yet, the union is not going to help Diaz beyond PORAC. This shocking story, continues to get worse.
Andy's breaking national news story--- Border Patrol Agent Jesus Diaz was given 10 years in prison for pulling on the handcuffs of an illegal alien doper. Johnny Sutton started the prosecution, which was finished by Obama's Justice Dept. How did this happen? Request by the Mexican Consulate in Eagle Pass, TX. Andy interviews Diaz' wife Diana, who has been a BP agent for 15 years. If this story does not leave you outraged, consider this. A BP agent doing his job will be in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 10 years, while the doper got immunity and a free pass for smuggling dope into the US.

Adrienne Alpert (KABC-TV): Andy Ramirez is Chairman of Friends of the Border Patrol, a citizens group supporting
Border Patrol Agents....this week you announced that you are moving the start date of your border watch to September 16,
Mexican Independence Day and you picked that day to be in solidarity with Mexican citizens.
Ramirez: Absolutely. The big reason we picked that date is that we feel that...the people of Mexico have long been
exploited and enslaved by their own government....the President of the United States has talked about jobs Americans won't
do. He is wrong. These are jobs that Americans used to do and are not being offered.
