The federal government has obtained an indictment against Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez for drugs found in his safe-house in October 2005, but still has failed to pursue action against Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, the drug smuggler in the Ramos-Compean case, who reportedly delivered those drugs to the safe-house, according to documents WND has obtained.

Ortiz-Hernandez has been named in a federal drug indictment that alleges federal agents discovered about 5,000 pounds of marijuana at his house over a period of several visits from March 2004 to October 2005. But Aldrete-Davila, who made that 750-pound delivery on Oct. 23, isn't being pursued, apparently because of the immunity U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton gave him for an earlier smuggling operation when he unsuccessfully brought a van load of drugs into the U.S., documents indicate.

"This shows that Ortiz-Hernandez was a major drug dealer," Joe Loya, father-in-law of Agent Ignacio Ramos, told WND. "It also should prove that Aldrete-Davila lied on the stand in the Ramos and Compean case when he said he was an amateur who only did this one offense because his mother was sick and he needed to buy her medicine he could not afford. Aldrete-Davila's story is lie, after lie, after lie. He crossed the border and drove the second load directly to Ortiz-Hernandez's home."
