In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," host Ali Bradley takes viewers inside the 2026 Border Security Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, where over 175 vendors showcase the next generation of security tech. From a thumb-sized thermal drone called the “Black Hornet," to a thermal robotic K-9 that can detect just about anything, vendors say all of this can be used to improve security at the nation's borders.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott also spoke with Bradley, sharing that the U.S. now has “the most secure border in the history of the entire United States,” citing more than 80 miles of new border barriers.

On this episode of "Bradley on the Border," Ali Bradley speaks with Chris Clem, a former Yuma sector Border Patrol chief. Clem tells Ali there could be increased concern about immigrants who are already in the United States, including those with ties to Iran.

Ali also speaks with Stephanie Creasy, the deputy director of the U.S. Marshals Service, about the task force’s progress in Memphis. Creasy tells Ali the biggest challenge the task force faces is communication and “winning over the hearts and minds” of community members.

A notorious Venezuelan transnational criminal organization may be working with drug trafficking networks run by an Iranian militant group to smuggle illicit drugs into the United States, security officials believe. In this episode of "Bradley on the Border," host Ali Bradley sits down with Jesus Romero, a former U.S. intelligence officer. He tells Bradley that “no one is safe,” as concerns over Iranian sleeper cells loom. Romero believes the relationship between Venezuela and Iran goes back decades, with the goal of destabilizing the U.S.
