What he found will shock you. The three highest-ranking officials at the U.S. Border Patrol have all been implicated in sexual misconduct. The current chief bragged about paying for sex abroad — then abolished the agency's anti-fraternization policy. His two deputies left after sexually victimizing female employees. Three officials. Three sex scandals. Zero accountability. Frey documents over 170 cases of criminal behavior by agents nationwide — child sexual abuse material, assault, kidnapping of minors, convicted agents returned to duty with their firearms. And Congress just handed these agencies more money than they've ever had in history. Oversight dismantled. Hiring standards lowered. Accountability measures stripped out. This isn't a few bad apples. This is a system designed to protect predators — funded by your tax dollars. https://theraidpodcast.org/ https://open.substack.com/pub/raidpodcast/p/the-worst-of-the-worst?r=5r26a&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor (\"distributor's affiliates\").
