commutation at the border

Upon leaving office, an outgoing president usually pardons and/or commutes multiple sentences of convicted criminals. The commutations usually happen in the last days of a presidency and are usually the types of crimes for which the outgoing president has some form of sympathy, political or otherwise. Today, former president Bush signed only two commutations. They were for a high profile case in El Paso for two Border Patrol agents who shot a fleeing border crosser (in possession of drugs).
