Leaked video footage shows that Border Patrol agenda in Laredo, Texas, engaged in a tense exchange with Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz on Friday over policies enacted by the Biden administration.
The exchange came two days after Border Patrol agents who work in southern Arizona turned their backs on Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas in protest of the Biden administration’s immigration policies. What happened in the video?
The video shows Border Patrol agents confront Mayorkas and Ortiz over low morale among Border Patrol agents, which was attributed to the Biden administration’s lenient immigration policies.
One agent asked Mayorkas what steps the Biden administration would take to “get the ball rolling in a positive direction,” but Mayorkas declined to answer the question and asked Ortiz to respond.
Ortiz then admitted that “morale is at an all-time low,” but stressed that Border Patrol agents need to do a better job of taking care of agency leaders and agency leaders need to do a better job of taking care of rank-and-file agents.
“I get it. You come to work, you’re frustrated. You’re upset because you didn’t get the desired outcome that you want,” Ortiz added. “Doesn’t mean you give up.”
“We’re not,” one agent shot back.
“I know you’re not,” Ortiz replied. “That’s why I’m saying, we don’t give up. We stay focused, we continue to do the job and the mission that we signed up for. We all signed up for it, we all raised our hand.”That is when the confrontation became heated.One agent fired back that Border Patrol’s job is to “defend the Constitution, not the administration.” Another agent said “it’s kinda hard to say that,” referring to Ortiz’s previous comments, but Ortiz screamed over that agent.”It’s not hard to say it,” Ortiz screamed. “It may be hard for you to say it, I’ve been doing this […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
