The Greenline

In this episode of The Green Line, host Art Del Cueto shared updates on border security, recent news events, and his personal experiences advocating for agents and communities impacted by border issues.

Art opened the show by recounting his participation in a Tucson roundtable discussion with Congressman Juan Ciscomani and local business leaders. The focus was on clarifying details of what supporters call the “Big Beautiful Bill,” emphasizing its importance for both border security and economic support. Art highlighted the positive impact the bill could have on agents in the field, particularly in providing much-needed vehicles, equipment, and resources.

He then addressed a recent tragic incident near a Home Depot, where a man lost his life after running into freeway traffic. While initial media reports suggested Border Patrol had been pursuing him, Art clarified through his sources that the individual was not being chased by agents. He criticized what he described as misleading coverage, arguing that such reporting unfairly paints Border Patrol as villains.

Art also commented on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s remarks attacking immigration enforcement, including sarcastic comments directed at former ICE Director Tom Homan. Art responded bluntly, saying Newsom “couldn’t lace Tom Homan’s shoes,” and discussed his appearance on Newsmax where he defended agents against political attacks.

Another major topic was the ongoing case of Agent David Maland, who was killed during a traffic stop in Vermont earlier this year. Art shared his strong view that the suspect should face the maximum penalty, noting that federal prosecutors are pursuing capital punishment. He underscored the seriousness of the crime and expressed unwavering support for fellow agents.

Closing the show, Art acknowledged the challenges agents face across the country, especially in California, while reminding them of the widespread support they continue to receive. He expressed his gratitude for their dedication, reaffirmed his stance on holding criminals accountable

In this week's episode, Art Del Cueto reflects on the growth of The Green Line podcast and its mission to give Border Patrol agents a voice—now 574 episodes strong. Art takes a hard look at recent shifts in leadership behavior, raising questions about some now vocal sector chiefs and hope they are truly committed but wonders why they were silent before?

He shares past experiences with Gloria Chavez, former chief of the Rio Grande Valley Sector, highlighting her removal and current involvement in an investigation dubbed “Tequila Gate.” While details remain sparse, Art notes the polarized reactions surrounding her case and defends his stance on only criticizing leadership when it directly harms agents.

This week, Art also spotlights the elite skills of Border Patrol’s specialized units—like BORTAC, horse patrols, and canine handlers—illustrating their critical role in navigating harsh terrain and apprehending dangerous criminals. He recounts the recent capture of a violent fugitive in a remote area as a powerful example of their effectiveness.

Turning his focus to the streets of Tucson and South Tucson, Art doesn't hold back in criticizing policies he believes promote lawlessness. He slams local leadership, especially Mayor Roxanna Valenzuela, for creating what he likens to a "Batman movie" scenario—where ICE is treated like the villain and chaos reigns.

Art wraps up the episode by discussing a South American theft ring’s arrest by Border Patrol, raising concerns about cartel-linked crime creeping into the northern border, and recommends a powerful documentary on life inside El Salvadoran prisons, drawing from his own time working in corrections.

In this week’s episode of The Green Line, Art Del Cueto dives into the evolving tactics of drug cartels at the border. While illegal crossings may have declined, the cartels continue to innovate with sophisticated smuggling operations, including high-tech tunnels. Art recalls an infamous 1990s tunnel in Douglas equipped with hydraulics, power, and even a flood system—warning that modern-day versions are likely even more advanced and harder to detect.

Art emphasizes the importance of practical technology and proper resource allocation within Border Patrol. He stresses that newly purchased vehicles—along with essential tools like night vision goggles and tasers—must be prioritized for field agents, not office-based supervisors. He expresses hope that under Chief Banks’ leadership, resources will be strategically distributed to support agents doing the actual patrol work on the ground.

The show also explores the use of body cameras in law enforcement. While Art supports body cam use as a tool for transparency, he warns that footage can be easily misinterpreted without full context. He notes that video doesn’t always capture the officer’s perspective or the entire situation, and media clips can sometimes distort the truth. Art calls for better public understanding of how these technologies are used—and their limitations.

Art also tackles the criticism surrounding immigration enforcement operations, particularly the arrests of undocumented individuals without criminal records. He explains these often result from targeted enforcement where agents encounter additional undocumented persons at the same location. Art highlights how "snitching" from detainees often leads to follow-up arrests and urges more public education to clarify these realities. He wraps by addressing controversial statements from Mexican officials, criticizing sanctuary city policies, and reminding listeners of the increasing issues at the northern border. He encourages everyone to share The Green Line and stay informed about border security beyond media spin.

This Week on The Greenline Radio Show, Host Art Del Cueto voiced frustration over the national media’s focus on riots in Los Angeles while downplaying unrest in other areas, linking the coverage to political tension between Governor Newsom and President Trump. He criticized the lack of response from local law enforcement—noting it was likely due to directives from leadership—while emphasizing that Border Patrol agents were willing and ready to assist, as they’ve historically done even beyond immigration-related duties.

He shared concerns about law enforcement officers—especially in left-leaning cities—feeling discouraged and retiring early due to policies that limit their effectiveness. Drawing from personal experience in Tucson, Art described confrontations between protesters and officers, including violent outbursts where Border Patrol agents acted professionally in detaining aggressors.

Art highlighted the destruction of historic Latin-owned businesses on Olvera Street during the protests and the lack of accountability for those responsible. He estimated the damage—factoring in vandalism, canceled events, lost wages, and insurance claims—could cost the city millions.
