As reported on The Blaze yesterday, Federal Agent Jesus Diaz was sentenced to two years in prison for allegedly roughing up a suspected drug runner who was caught with other illegals, bringing 150 pounds of marijuana across the border from Mexico into the US.

- Agent Diaz has been in solitary confinement for eight months during this trial and his wife claims he has been shackled during the trial.

- A judge denied Agent Diaz bail, his wife Diana gave birth to a baby girl two weeks after her husband's incarceration, he has never held their child.
