EPISODE 546 - Land of the Lost

This Week on The Green Line Radio Show, Art Del Cueto reflected on his retirement from the agency and his still demanding schedule, focusing on keeping the public informed about border issues. He shared candid thoughts on recent leadership changes and the hypocrisy of critics now reversing their stances.

Art recounted a harrowing experience during his Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) days, where he overcame his fear of swimming through grueling drills and near-drowning incidents. Despite efforts to learn, his hesitation to swim still affects him, even deterring visits to Hawaii.

The conversation highlighted Art's concerns about technology misuse, particularly drones used by Mexican cartels for surveillance over the Tohono O’odham reservation. He shared alarming incidents, including a Russian mercenary caught with a drone and explosives, and the discovery of a tunnel in El Paso. Art questioned the lack of authority action on such threats.

Art addressed the troubling trend of US-born children being recruited by cartels, citing the need to reevaluate birthright citizenship for those with criminal ties. He also criticized the agency's leadership for denying compassionate requests, such as an agent’s plea for temporary relocation to be with her dying spouse. He called for stricter accountability and retraining for management in these cases.
