In this week’s episode of The Green Line, Host Art Del Cueto honors the life of Border Patrol Agent Eric Cespedes, who tragically drowned while rescuing his children from a rip current. Art reflects on the selfless sacrifices agents make, both on and off duty.

The conversation shifts to growing concerns in Tucson, where illegal dumping near washes and parks along with homeless encampments creates environmental and health risks. Art questions the city’s inaction and criticizes local leaders for focusing on protests over federal policy rather than solving issues like homelessness and infrastructure.

Art recounts a disturbing incident where a Border Patrol agent in Los Angeles was attacked during a protest, emphasizing the dangers agents face and the legal limitations they must navigate—especially in places like California. He also shares a case where a U.S. citizen was arrested after damaging a patrol vehicle, they seemed surprised that Border Patrol can and will Arrest those that even if US Citizens break the law, pointing out public misunderstanding of agents' duties. Art advocates for stronger support of law enforcement, calling for mandatory sentencing for those who assault officers.

Art also examines the media narrative around a Phoenix sushi restaurant owner now facing deportation, criticizing the failure to address legal status despite years of opportunity.

Lastly, Art sheds light on the cartel-related chaos in Sinaloa, Mexico, urging activists to address real issues there before targeting U.S. policies. Art takes in a Movie and shares his thoughts about F1.
