"House of Death" Informant Will Not Be Deported

In yet another blow against efforts by the US Government to cover-up the dirty truth beneath the House of Death case, a court ruling has been made against deporting informant Guillermo Ramirez Peyro back to Mexico. The Department of Homeland Security - after using Ramirez for a larger narco-trafficking case and covering up the crimes he committed in the process - had tried to send him back to his home country, where he claims he would face almost certain death. Bill Conroy, who has been following this story since it broke, writes that in the process of making this decision (a decision he already made in 2005 in the same case), the judge re-affirmed that the Mexican Government would be likely to cooperate in the informant's torture and murder.

Conroy reports:

"That's right, the immigration judge had to determine whether the evidence presented by Ramirez' attorney supported the contention that the Mexican government would essentially cooperate with narco-traffickers to assure retribution against Ramirez.

"...Ramirez claims that if the U.S. government is successful in deporting him back to Mexico, he, too, will be tortured and murdered by the narco-traffickers he betrayed. He argues further that the Mexican government will not protect him, as the U.S. government contends, but rather will, in fact, help to deliver him to his doom.

"...The BIA, in turn, remanded the case back to start - to the original immigration judge - likely hoping that Judge Dierkes would revisit his verdict and find it in his career interest to issue a new ruling that protects the Justice Department's interests in the House of Death case.

"But demonstrating both courage and a dedication to justice that is rare among the political class of this nation, the judge did not oblige today."
