Tara breaks down the latest tactics in the ongoing battle over U.S. immigration enforcement. She exposes how recently removed “ICE tracker” apps allowed mobs to monitor and dox federal agents in real time, enabling violent confrontations and intimidation. Tara highlights the Democrats' push to create a “Master ICE Tracker” via oversight committees, effectively continuing the doxxing and surveillance under the guise of transparency. She unpacks how liberal officials, radical activists, and court rulings are limiting federal ICE operations, giving local authorities power to arrest federal agents for enforcing immigration law. From threats on agents' lives to politically motivated legal overreach, Tara explains why these measures escalate into a guerrilla-style conflict against federal enforcement.

To understand what an escalation of federal agents means for San Francisco, and especially Latine immigrants in the Bay Area, we spoke with El Tecolote Investigative Reporter Yesica Prado.

Protests begin in the Bay Area as federal agents arrive at Coast Guard Island in Alameda. We'll open the lines and find out how communities are preparing.

AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports federal agents are now being sent to San Francisco.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports President Trump is taking focus away from San Francisco.

Tara breaks down the latest revelations surrounding January 6, exposing how Speaker Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for not deploying the National Guard, while the Pentagon and top military officials allegedly ignored President Trump's requests. She explores reports of FBI operatives disguised as protesters, “black bloc” agitators, and Antifa-style actors infiltrating the crowd. Tara connects the dots on how federal agencies may have strategically prevented arrests of violent individuals, raising serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the orchestration of events at the Capitol.

Today on Truth in Politics and Culture, President Trump prepares for a meeting with President Zelensky at the White House. The topic will be Ukraine receiving tomahawk missiles and more air defense capabilities, The Mexican drug cartels are using Chicago gangs to go after federal agents, Young republicans are demonstrating a disturbing trend toward racism in online chats. Does it belong in the same category as the disgusting remarks made by Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones?

October 8th, 2025, 5pm: Following shocking scenes of treatment by ICE and federal agents in Chicago, hundreds of national guard troops from Texas and Illinois have descended on the city.

On episode 33 of the Executive Perspective, Ron and Rob discuss the recent incident where Chicago Police Officers were ordered by their Chief of Patrol not to respond to calls for help by federal agents under siege by protestors. What were sanctuary cities established for and what have they “evolved” into? Could this happen in NYC? What should the NYPD do when responding to calls for assistance by federal agents?

Leaked dispatch audio from Chicago reveals something chilling: police were ordered not to assist federal agents who were cornered and calling for backup. The dispatcher hesitated — then relayed it.▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶Original, Made in the USA Neznation Patriot Merch: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/all

On this week's podcast, I speak with Special Air Service Regiment & Australian Federal Police veteran Doug Sheridan, Doug enlisted in the regular army in 1991, posting to 5/7 RAR. In 1997, Doug attempted and completed SASR selection. He served 33 years in the Australian Army and Special Operations in both full-time and reserve capacities. During his service, he deployed to various locations, including Tonga, Malaysia, East Timor, the Solomon Islands, and Afghanistan. Additionally, he served with the United Nations in West Sahara. He also served for 10 years as a Federal Agent with the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Doug talks about reaching rock bottom, having suicidal ideations, and losing purpose. The steps he took to find purpose again. This is a story of true grit, determination, courage, and owning your mistakes and succeeding at the elite level. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Doug Sheridan Editor: Kyle Watkins

This weekend in Chicago, a deeply troubling revelation came to light: the city’s Chief of Patrol reportedly issued a stand-down order to CPD units who were in route to assist federal agents embroiled in an officer-involved shooting. Any officer who obeyed this unlawful order to stand down needs to resign immediately. According to internal dispatch recordings and reports, Border Patrol agents were boxed in and under threat amid anti-ICE protests. When they radioed for backup, police were directed to “clear out … per the Chief of Patrol,” effectively abandoning a federal counterpart in peril. Some CPD units initially moved to the location but were held several blocks away and later told to pull back entirely. In the face of this dereliction, the response from rank-and-file officers and law enforcement unions was fierce. The National Fraternal Order of Police called the move a “shocking violation of duty,” arguing that when any officer — local or federal — requests help, one’s first obligation is to intervene. Meanwhile, legal experts have raised the specter of official misconduct, reckless conduct, and even liability under civil rights statutes for depriving a law enforcement officer of protection. In short: by refusing to respond, CPD leadership may have signaled that political posturing takes precedence over the core mission of protecting the public — and even protecting fellow officers. That decision, whether justified by policy or ideology, paints a grim portrait: in Chicago, loyalty to radical left political currents seems to outweigh loyalty to law enforcement itself. Why the Democrats Might Fold on the Budget Shutdown Meanwhile, in Washington, Democrats are locked in a budget showdown, betting that Republicans will cave under pressure. But the same political forces at play in Chicago—posturing over principle, fear of appearing weak, internal party fractures—may work against them. Once real consequences hit — furloughed workers, delayed services, public backlash — Democrats will struggle to hold the line. Their leverage is limited: if the shutdown drags on, they’ll be forced to negotiate or be blamed for dysfunction. Eventually, at least some will crack, bend to pragmatic necessity, and agree to a compromise short of disaster.

After “fixing” crime in DC, Trump is off to “fix” Chicago. But since Chicago is in an actual state, he may encounter one or two legal issues. And after the Supreme Court shook its finger at the president and said not to fire members of the Federal Reserve, he's trying to do it anyway. Whodathunkit?

Send us a textSean was interrogated by federal agents. They were asking him to turn informant. And he did. That moment — terrifying, surreal — was the culmination of years spent running from trauma, shame, and addiction. Raised Mormon and queer, Sean lived in silence and meth helped him feel connected and accepted. But it almost killed him. From suicide attempts rising to the top of Washington DC's drug trade  to spiritual healing, Sean's story is one of collapse and slow, intentional rebirth.=============Key Learning Points

Jonas Nelson grew up in the streets of Hartford, CT, surrounded by poverty and pain. With his father behind bars and no clear path forward, he dropped out of school at 16 and turned to the drug game — making $5,000 a week selling crack. But that fast money came with a price. At just 20 years old, Jonas was caught in a sweeping federal RICO case and sentenced to 60 months in federal prison. In this interview, he shares what life was really like on the streets, how the feds built their case, and what prison was like for him. #PrisonStory #FederalPrison #StreetLife #HartfordCT #RICOCase #DrugGame #RedemptionStory #LockedInPodcast Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 Street Dreams and Federal Nightmares: The Jonas Nelson Story 00:05:38 Discovering Personal Faith and Beliefs 00:11:57 Life Lessons from a Protective Mother 00:18:02 Reflections on Selling Drugs and Street Life 00:24:29 First Encounter with Federal Agents 00:30:27 Undercover Surveillance and Phone Tapping 00:36:24 Arrest Over Alleged Car Theft 00:42:28 Navigating Legal Challenges: Probation Violation and Safety Valve 00:48:33 Arrival and First Impressions in Prison 00:54:29 Incarceration Experiences and Challenges 01:02:48 Preparing for Life After Prison 01:06:30 Meeting Mobb Deep: A Connection from Prison 01:12:26 Building Lasting Connections in Prison 01:18:37 Guiding Kids Away from Bad Choices 01:24:45 Teen Entrepreneurial Journey 01:32:55 Reflections on Past Mistakes and Financial Growth 01:37:00 Future Music Releases and Projects Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. When most people imagine the Caribbean, they think of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, rum cocktails, and vibrant island music. The idea of violent crime, drugs, and federal law enforcement operations rarely comes to mind. But behind the postcard-perfect scenery, the Caribbean plays a major role in the global drug trade, and with it, comes a dangerous underworld of money, guns, and organized crime. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent Jack McFarland knows this world all too well. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Jack spent over three decades in the trenches with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). From his early days as a football coach and teacher to chasing drug traffickers through the Caribbean, his story reflects the global reach of America's drug war, and the brave men and women fighting it on the front lines. Now retired and a keynote speaker, Jack shares stories from his work with the DEA, including international interdiction operations, violent shootouts, and the complex partnership between the DEA and the police in the Caribbean. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Hidden Drug Highway in Paradise. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. “The Caribbean is beautiful, but it's also a major hub in the global drug trade,” Jack said during a recent appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, and major TV and podcast platforms. Much of the Caribbean lies along major smuggling routes between South America and the United States. Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin often move by sea, carried in everything from high-speed boats to drug submarines. Once in the Caribbean, the drugs are repackaged and rerouted, often with the help of armed criminal groups. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. As a Supervisory Special Agent with the DEA's Caribbean Division, Jack helped lead operations that intercepted everything from cartel-run aircraft to high-seas smuggling vessels. One of the division's most notable seizures came on March 31, 2014, when the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF) intercepted a Zodiac-type vessel off Dorado, Puerto Rico. On board? Two Venezuelan nationals and 1,774 kilograms of cocaine. “These arrests are a clear indication of the continued success of the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force,” said Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. “This is just another example of the fine work our state and federal law enforcement partners accomplish every day.” When Interdiction Turns Violent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Not all operations end smoothly. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. On November 17, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents engaged in a shootout while trying to intercept a suspicious vessel near Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. As agents approached, a gun battle broke out, leaving one DEA partner agent dead, others wounded, and two U.S. citizens arrested after over 1,300 kilograms of cocaine were recovered. It's a grim reminder that the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean isn't just about seizures, it's a deadly, high-stakes war against violent criminals. The Broader Impact of Crime in the Caribbean Many are shocked to learn that the Caribbean is one of the most violent regions in the Americas. Fueled by transnational gangs, economic struggles, and a deterioration of social structures, violent crime has exploded in several countries. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. In Haiti, where gangs have seized control of much of the capital, over 2,500 people were killed or injured in just the first quarter of 2024. This disturbing trend has sparked deep concern among Caribbean leaders. At a recent Caribbean Community (Caricom) summit, regional heads of state cited “levels of crime and violence... fueled in part by firearms and ammunition trafficking, transnational criminal networks, and a deterioration of social structures.” DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Jack puts it bluntly: “Where there are drugs, there are guns. And with guns, there's always violence.” The DEA's Mission in the Caribbean The Drug Enforcement Administration, established in 1973 during President Nixon's war on drugs, is the lead U.S. agency for combatting illegal narcotics. While most Americans associate DEA operations with big city drug busts or cartels, the agency plays a vital role in the Caribbean, partnering with local and international police forces to stop the flow of drugs into the U.S. The DEA Caribbean Division covers a wide area, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, the Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and others. Its mission is not just enforcement, but also coordination, training local police, gathering intelligence, and working alongside global partners. With units like the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force, the DEA focuses on interdiction, cutting off drug shipments before they reach U.S. soil. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. From Football Coach to Federal Agent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Before he was chasing smugglers, Jack McFarland was a high school teacher and football coach. His path from the classroom to DEA headquarters in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is a testament to how varied law enforcement careers can be. From his early work in Philadelphia to leading international operations out of Baltimore, Jack has lived a life filled with purpose, and danger. Now retired, he uses his experience to speak, consult, and train law enforcement agencies across the country and beyond. He's also active on various social media platforms, where he shares insights on crime, policing, and global drug trends. Modern-Day Pirates and Real-World Consequences While pirates might sound like a fantasy from the past, modern-day piracy is a real concern in the Caribbean. Smugglers and traffickers are often armed, mobile, and ruthless. Some target commercial vessels; others engage in violent turf wars on land. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In fact, many violent crimes across the region are tied to gang warfare over drug territory, made more deadly by a steady influx of weapons. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. The DEA, working closely with the police in the Caribbean, continues to be a frontline force in stemming this tide. But as Jack McFarland reminds us, “This isn't a job for the faint of heart. It's dangerous, complicated, and essential.” Behind the island sunsets and steel drum music lies a battle that few tourists ever see. The DEA and the police in the Caribbean are locked in a constant struggle against violent drug traffickers who exploit the region's geography for global operations. But thanks to seasoned agents like Jack McFarland and dedicated Caribbean law enforcement officers, progress continues. Their courage and commitment protect not just U.S. borders, but the people of the Caribbean as well.

Hello!Today, we talk about what the hell ICE is wearing out in the streets of American cities, “operator cosplay” which is the phenomenon of yahoos dressing up like they're in special forces, and we talk a whole lot about ICE's policy of wearing masks in public. We also continue our long search for the pod's Joe House and bring on Kang's college roommate, a veteran Green Beret who explains what ICE is wearing and why. This is a public episode.

Kimberly thought she was meeting a charming real estate manager. She had no idea he'd already been stalking her for a month—or that his entire identity was a lie. He was actually a U.S. Department of State special agent with a 30-year history of using his badge and gun to terrorize women across the country. What began as quiet digital surveillance spiraled into a brutal campaign of threats, harassment, rape, and attempted murder. Kimberly fled more than 1,300 miles—twice—but he used his federal ties to track her down, even pulling other law enforcement into his twisted pursuit. Eight officers in five states turned her away. But Kimberly wouldn't stay silent. She was determined to expose the predator behind the badge.**The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphics depictions of physical violence and sexual assault.
