A D.C. federal appeals court vacated two convictions of Los Zetas cartel assassins who murdered an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in 2011.
Jose Emanuel “Zafado” Garcia Sota and Jesus Ivan “Loco” Quezada Pina were convicted of four counts in 2017, including for the murder of Special Agent Jaime Zapata, from Brownsville, Texas. The men have been remanded to a lower court and will face limited re-sentencing for the murder and attempted murder of a federal officer. The pair is currently serving life in prison for the killing.
The ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit came on Jan. 21.

I hope that limited re-sentencing includes the DEATH PENALTY.
