The shooting of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent by an illegal immigrant in New York City has reignited intense political debate over sanctuary cities and immigration enforcement. The incident, which occurred during a routine operation, has drawn sharp criticism from law enforcement groups and conservative lawmakers who argue it highlights the dangers of lax border enforcement and sanctuary policies.
Guest host Joey Jones welcomed Sheriff Mark Lamb to the show to dissect the circumstances of the shooting and its broader implications. Lamb emphasized the need for stronger federal oversight of local policing decisions, particularly in jurisdictions that have historically resisted federal immigration enforcement. ‘This incident underscores the risks associated with sanctuary cities and the urgent need for a coherent national strategy on immigration security,’ Lamb stated.
In addition to the shooting, the segment also explored recent developments in the ‘Russiagate’ saga. DNI Tulsi Gabbard, the former chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed new information that could reshape the understanding of Russian influence in U.S. political affairs. The revelations have raised questions about the extent of foreign interference and its potential impact on national security policies.
