Summary

Army veteran and former Border Patrol agent Ammon Blair takes The Anchormen inside the brutal reality facing immigration enforcement today—riots, agitators, and sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate. Blair argues ICE agents were sidelined behind desks during the Biden-Harris years, leaving them unprepared for a violent, physically demanding frontline. Drawing on firsthand experience, he claims Mexican cartels still control the border, have infiltrated CBP, compromised agents, sabotage drug busts from within—and that the Mexican government itself is a cartel and a leading sponsor of terrorism.
