“It’s not uncommon right now for the cartel to push a group of 100 or 200 people across in remote areas like Columbus, New Mexico, and that will wipe out an entire station for an eight-hour shift. What that does is it leaves about 75, 80, up to 100 miles of border completely unpatrolled for that next seven, eight hours. That is happening again and again.”
In this episode, we sit down with former chief of U.S. Border Patrol Rodney Scott to understand the current situation at the border since the end of Title 42.
“We really turned over complete and total operational control to the cartels … They’re in the power seat now, by having this massive group of humanity to push at law enforcement and overwhelm them every day,” Scott says.
