Podcasts about Border Patrol

The world is exploding — Iran, Mexican cartels, border security, China infiltration — and Americans are asking one critical question: How do we defend our country WITHOUT repeating the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan? This is a legitimate question to ask, and we thread the needle today with my friend Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Blair, a former Border Patrol agent and Iraq War veteran, takes us through the strategic plays of the Trump administration in Iran and the Caribbean, while also raising concerns about the shortsightedness of administration policies dealing with the Mexican cartels and prematurely declaring the border secure. America must project strength — but with discipline, clarity, and strategy. What does that balance look like?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Big Bend National Park lately has drawn a lot of national attention, and not in a good way. Recently the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol announced that it wanted to build some sort of border wall along all or part of the 118 miles of border the national park shares with Mexico. Is that a good idea? Will it adversely impact the park? Can it even be done? To discuss those and other questions, our guest today is Bob Krumenaker, whose long Park Service career included a stint as Big Bend's superintendent. Bob also is chair of the Keep Big Bend Wild organization that is pushing to see a large portion of the park designated as official wilderness.

A disabled refugee was found dead days after U.S. Border Patrol let him off alone at a closed coffee shop — sparking widespread outrage and accusations of inhumanity within ICE and CBP. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee who spoke little English and was nearly blind, vanished and died in Buffalo after being left miles from home with no support — authorities are now investigating.Meanwhile in New York City, federal immigration agents sparked protests when they entered a Columbia University dorm under controversial circumstances to arrest a student. After public backlash, Mayor Zohran Mamdani secured her release following a meeting with President Donald Trump, showcasing a bold approach to resisting aggressive immigration tactics.In this video we break down:

The State of the Regime address presented a new reality of an American President openly defying the legitimacy of a Supreme Court ruling, even though that same court ruled to provide him with unprecedented protections from justice while serving...an odd choice to allow tariff greed to outweighing the self-serving importance of maintaining the court's illusion of authority. Then, we unpack the newly founded "Board of Peace" and how, yet again, our taxes will be funneled up to billionaires without Congressional approval. News about rapidly expanding detention centers/concentration camps leads to reports of Kristi Noem's demands and strain upon the Coast Guard, and how a fit over her lost blanket made headlines. With wellness influencer Casey Means' confirmation hearings to serve as Surgeon General continuing to take place, we delve into her online presence, statements, and why calling your Senators to demand they not confirm her matters. As ICE and Border Patrol continue to terrorize communities, letters from children in crowded detention centers shed light on their daily life, and the story of a recent immigrant from Myanmar makes clear the harsh reality of what we have become.

//The Wire//1300Z February 27, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: FINAL PREPARATIONS BEGIN FOR COMBAT OPERATIONS IN MIDDLE EAST. US MILITARY SHOOTS DOWN BORDER PATROL DRONE IN FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENT. CONFLICT FLARES UP AGAIN BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Middle East: As of this morning, Chinese satellite imagery indicates that Al-Udeid Airbase has been fully evacuated of tanker aircraft, with only a small number of other airframes remaining at this location. The *FORD* CSG has arrived on station off the coast of Israel, and most of the movement of fighter aircraft has slowed to a crawl, as all of the aircraft that have been forward-deployed throughout the region are in their final staging areas, awaiting the launch of the operation.Western Asia: Border clashes between the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan have flared up again, as intense fighting has been reported along the border in the east. Pakistani forces have bombed a few ammo dumps in the Afghan district in Nangarhar, with Taliban forces responding in kind by shooting at Pakistani observation posts along the border. Taliban forces have also claimed to have conducted drone strikes of their own, with improvised explosive drones being used to target several Pakistani military installations overnight.-HomeFront-Texas: Yesterday evening a friendly-fire shootdown incident was reported involving US military forces shooting down a Customs and Border Patrol drone, which was conducting patrols along the southern US border.Analyst Comment: Many details have not been provided on this shootdown incident just yet, however it looks like a CBP drone was operating along the border in the vicinity of Fort Hancock, and due to a lack of deconfliction measures they shot down one of their own drones using a laser-based defense system similar to the system that was being used in El Paso last week.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, so far everything is lining up for the next potential strike window to open up sometime this weekend, with weather conditions throughout Iran being favorable for most military operations. Lunar illumination is good, and there are no cloud ceilings throughout the nation for the next few days.This morning diplomatic efforts to draw down forces throughout the region continue as well. American Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sent an email to staffers at the Embassy this morning, telling them that departure is authorized, and that anyone who wants to leave "should do so today". This timeline lines up with the American tradition of conducting strikes after the stock markets close on Friday, though as to the exact hour of the operation beginning, it's anyone's guess. More broadly, we're now in the most optimal targeting window, and this window will be open for the next few days.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

On the program, we pick up where we left off yesterday talking about swearing and if you are a frequent user of profanity. Also, in the vein of language, what are some linguistic pet peeves you have, are there any verbal crutches people use that drive you nuts? Also, we discuss the story of a Williamsville student who was removed from school despite a ruling that a medical exemption would allow the student to attend, and we discuss Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a migrant who was missing for a time after being released from a Buffalo jail into the custody of U.S. Border Patrol on February 19th, and was ultimately found dead days later. What questions do you have about this case? To help answer some of these questions, we turn to retired Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo.

Retired Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo joins the show to provide some insight on the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a migrant from Myanmar who went missing after his release from a Buffalo jail into the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol on February 19th, and was found dead five days later.

In the second episode of our Latino Forestry Workforce series, guest host Gaby Eseverri speaks with Manuel Machado, who is the Natural Resource Workforce Program Coordinator for the Oregon State University Extension Program. This episode was made possible with support from Rivershed SPC, and we are immensely grateful for their help in making this series happen.  Manuel works with community-based organizations across the Pacific Northwest to develop bilingual learner-centric educational materials for H-2B and immigrant forestry sector workers, while developing programming that raises awareness of the labor-intensive forest workforce. His work aims to make this work safer and more equitable, particularly through engagement with the Latine forestry workforce in Oregon. Gaby Eseverri is a journalist based in Missoula, Montana, and originally from Miami. In addition to print journalism, she also helps produce Glacier National Park's Headwaters Podcast, which we highly recommend you check out.  In this episode, Gaby and Manuel spoke about the Latine forestry workforce in the Pacific Northwest, including the workforce's history, how H-2B and immigrant status contributes to a culture of exploitation rooted in a fear of deportation, as well as the nature of forestry and fire work. Gaby and Manuel also discuss the physical, economic and systemic risks faced by this workforce, and how the model and increasing demand for forest resilience work—which includes post-fire restoration, thinning/wildfire risk reduction, and other essential forestry tasks—relies heavily on often underpaid and easily-exploited H-2B and immigrant workers.  Please note that we will be releasing a third and final episode on this topic in a few days. This final episode—also hosted by Gaby with guest Manuel— will be published in Spanish, and will focus more on the resources, training and educational materials Manuel has created and made available for the Latine workforce on Oregon and beyond.  Another note: This episode was recorded in November 2025, just a few months after the incident in Washington State when two wildland firefighters were detained by Border Patrol on an active wildfire. More information about this incident can be found at the links below.  https://utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/08/30/immigration-raid-at-washington-blaze-stokes-fear-in-wildfire-crews-nationwide/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-agents-arrest-fire-crew-members-washington-wildfire-rcna227797   A few highlights from the conversation (full transcript can be found here):  "So a lot of the work that the Latine workforce is involved in what land management agencies refer to as forestry services. So this includes everything from planting work, hazardous fuels reduction work, tree thinning, forest restoration, pesticide application. Also, increasingly they're doing more work in fire suppression. So working on the fire line, much of that labor intensive work." "Many of these contractors are based in Southern Oregon, and although they're based here in Medford, in the Rogue Valley, and they travel all over the Pacific Northwest and the US, the workers themselves are brought primarily from Mexico and increasingly from Guatemala and Central America as h-2b visa workers. So the amount of h-2b visa workers is increasing." "The way the forest service handles contracting often awards the lowest bidder, and although this does ensure a lower price per acre, often means that the workers don't get paid as much as I believe they deserve." "With undocumented workers, you know there's that added layer of vulnerability, because they face deportation, and although they can change employers because they have specified documents which allow them that flexibility to change employers, if the employer, at any time, finds out that they are documented, they face that added risk of using that as a threat against them. Given the policies that we're seeing, there's likely to be an increase in labor violations and just less enforcement due to these policies we're seeing under the Trump administration." "It's really just an entire system that's turned on them at a time when I think their work so important, right? They are literally the ones planting trees after fire, or the ones who are fighting fire, the ones who are implementing those treatments that reduce fire risk and restore our forests." "I think a good example (of something actionable) could be for firefighters. We often hear them advocating for better pay and working conditions…but it's important for them to understand that, you know, if an increasing portion of the firefighting workforce is reliant on h-2b visa workers that don't have the same rights, well, then what can they do to build solidarity with those H-2b visa workers? A rising tide will lift all boats, so they have to really consider all of these different segments of the workforce if they want to be more effective at actively bargaining for those working conditions and better pay." "So I always ask the workers themselves, what's something that you would like the general public or policymakers or decision makers to know? What would you tell them, if you had the opportunity to speak with them? The most common responses that I've gotten is that they just want more for the important work that they do." 

How did the cartels get so powerful? Today's show digs into the explosive allegations surrounding past U.S. law enforcement operations, the fallout from Operation Fast and Furious, courtroom claims of federal “deals” with cartel figures, and why President Donald Trump is framing the current crackdown as a systemic war — not just border enforcement.

Nicolle Wallace covers the 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court to block Donald Trump from imposing global tariffs. The Supreme Court, while not suggesting that tariffs can't be imposed, is asserting that tariffs can only be imposed with the approval of Congress. Later, Epstein survivor Dani Bensky joins Nicolle to discuss the latest reporting that Epstein had ties to Customs and Border Patrol officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands who likely knew that Epstein would abuse women and children on his private island. Instead of intervening, they chose to gift Epstein concierge service and speedy security lines instead.

Federal fisheries regulators approved some limits on Western Alaska chum bycatch in the Bering Sea last week. The highly debated – and long awaited – decision aims to protect declining salmon stocks, a crucial food resource for Alaska tribes. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA has this story. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council voted to set a Western Alaska chum bycatch limit in the Bering Sea pollock fishery. The council said the move will balance protections for Western Alaska salmon returns, while also allowing pollock fisheries to continue their harvest. Council member Nicole Kimball voted for the motion. She says it addresses those needs and reflects best available Western and Indigenous science. “I think it’s going to change behavior. I think it’s going to reduce Western Alaska chum bycatch … I’m sure, as per usual, nobody is very happy, but all of the discussions have really helped … inform the outcome.” The trawl fishery in the Bering Sea near the Aleutian Islands is focused on pollock, but boats also scoop up other types of fish. That includes chum salmon, some of which migrates to Western and Interior Alaska rivers and is a crucial subsistence resource there. But chum runs have been declining, leading to repeated fishing closures in some communities. Alaska Native Council member John Moller, originally from Unalaska, is a commercial fisherman. He says he is fortunate to put fish up each year and feels for those who cannot. “I know how important that is to me, how important that is to my family, and passing that on to my children – I get that. And my heart is ripped out, speaking with all of you that are living on the rivers right now that don’t have that same ability that I have living in Southeast.” The council voted to support a motion that sets a limit to Western Alaska chum bycatch. Exceeding that limit would trigger a partial closure. Rachel Baker is the Deputy Commissioner at Alaska Department of Fish and Game. She presented the motion. Several members who voted against the motion said it is not likely to provide a meaningful improvement for salmon returns, but Baker argued. “We’re at this table used to thinking about large volumes of fish, in tons … we heard in testimony that four fish were able to provide the needs for a potlatch.” The plan goes to the National Marine Fisheries Service next before it can be implemented. (Courtesy AMC) This weekend saw the recent premiere of Season 4 of AMC's award-winning detective drama, “Dark Winds” which takes place in 1970s Navajo Country. As Brian Bull reports, tension and resentment threaten the romantic relationship between two main characters. After Bernadette Manuelito quits the U.S. Border Patrol and returns to the Navajo Tribal Police Department, it looks like a carefree and intimate rekindling of her romance with fellow officer, Jim Chee. But Lt. Joe Leaphorn shares a life decision with Manuelito that will shake up the force, a secret which Chee inevitably learns. Feeling affronted and mistrusted, a schism occurs between the couple. Actors Kiowa Gordon and Jessica Matten talk about bringing this conflict to their characters. “Leaphorn's coming from a place of understanding the matriarchy system, and in order to protect this relationship dynamic, she doesn't feel like she's lying to Chee, she feels like she's actually protecting him from what he doesn't need to know.  Y'know she's dealing with a lot of the PTSD of her just killing a man in season 3, and sometimes you just don't want to tell the truth right away because you might actually spiritually just drown, because it’s too much.” “And he is dealing with his own demons that he's been pushing away but now they've come to collect. And having to deal with that and trying to maintain your professionalism when you're working with the love of your life at the same time, and so there's a lot of dynamics being played out.” (Courtesy AMC) Meanwhile, an investigation takes the pair and Leaphorn to Los Angeles. Gordon and Matten say much of the filming still happened in New Mexico, parts of which resembled L.A. more than 50 years ago. New episodes of “Dark Winds” air Sunday nights on AMC and a fifth season has already been greenlit. The premiere episode of “Dark Winds” season 4 ended with a tribute to executive producer Robert Redford, who passed away last September.

On Chicago's Southwest and East sides, the presence of federal agents lingers long after they left town. The mental health of many communities needs attention. Businesses are still struggling to bring back customers. Chicago's journalists are processing their exhaustive coverage of people taken, and teargas deployed.On today's Block Club Chicago podcast, reporter Francia Garcia Hernandez, details the long lasting impact of Operation Midway blitz, and how the city is responding.Host - Jon HansenReporter - Francia Garcia HernandezRead More Here Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Governor Josh Shapiro has unveiled his Housing Action Plan, a proposal aimed at lowering costs and building more homes across Pennsylvania. ICE and Border Patrol agents raided a Montgomery County home last week, detaining Jose Manuel Cordova Lopez.

A group of Blair County volunteers is asking for help to restore a nearby abandoned town. An area historian is leading the charge and wants to turn the now-wooded area into a historical attraction. The outlook for Pennsylvania's rural hospitals is grim, in the face of decreasing federal dollars and budgetary challenges.

This week, Congress ended a partial government shutdown, approving funding for several federal agencies through September. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees I.C.E and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, was not among those agencies. Democrats say they won't fund the D.H.S without restrictions on federal immigration agents. In this shifting political landscape, how will congressional Republicans respond?We'll discuss the Democrats' demands. How might congress realistically check President Trump's immigration enforcement policies, given the violent and seemingly indiscriminate tactics we're seeing in Minneapolis and nationally? With the midterms looming, will it be possible for the two parties to come together and compromise?Speaking of elections, President Trump this week repeated a call to “nationalize” elections, saying Republicans should “take over” voting in 15 states. Are free and fair elections under threat? Here's the Carter-Baker Commission report. Producer: Robin EstrinHost: David Greene Guests:  Mo Elleithee, executive director at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service - @MoElleithee Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch - @whignewtons
