PRESS RELEASE:

Chesapeake, VA--According to Monica Ramos, wife of imprisoned U.S. Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos, her husband has been moved to a federal prison where he is serving time alongside immigration and drug offenders -- the same types of criminals Ramos is in prison for attempting to apprehend.

“The news is not good. I have heard from my husband and since being moved, conditions are worse as he is in general population,” Mrs. Ramos writes on her blog hosted by FireSociety.com, a new online community for grassroots conservatives that officially launches this week. “Inmates keep approaching him asking who he is and what he's in for,” she adds, noting that many of the inmates are serving time for immigration and drug-related offenses.

“We are so thankful that Mrs. Ramos has agreed to keep concerned citizens updated through this new blog on FireSociety.com,” says Steve Elliott of Grassfire.org, a participating organization in FireSociety.com. “Grassfire.org has rallied more than 290,000 citizens calling for President Bush to pardon these agents and this will help our team members stay informed.”
