Episode 574 - What In the Name of Gotham Is Going On!

In this week's episode, Art Del Cueto reflects on the growth of The Green Line podcast and its mission to give Border Patrol agents a voice—now 574 episodes strong. Art takes a hard look at recent shifts in leadership behavior, raising questions about some now vocal sector chiefs and hope they are truly committed but wonders why they were silent before?

He shares past experiences with Gloria Chavez, former chief of the Rio Grande Valley Sector, highlighting her removal and current involvement in an investigation dubbed “Tequila Gate.” While details remain sparse, Art notes the polarized reactions surrounding her case and defends his stance on only criticizing leadership when it directly harms agents.

This week, Art also spotlights the elite skills of Border Patrol’s specialized units—like BORTAC, horse patrols, and canine handlers—illustrating their critical role in navigating harsh terrain and apprehending dangerous criminals. He recounts the recent capture of a violent fugitive in a remote area as a powerful example of their effectiveness.

Turning his focus to the streets of Tucson and South Tucson, Art doesn't hold back in criticizing policies he believes promote lawlessness. He slams local leadership, especially Mayor Roxanna Valenzuela, for creating what he likens to a "Batman movie" scenario—where ICE is treated like the villain and chaos reigns.

Art wraps up the episode by discussing a South American theft ring’s arrest by Border Patrol, raising concerns about cartel-linked crime creeping into the northern border, and recommends a powerful documentary on life inside El Salvadoran prisons, drawing from his own time working in corrections.
