About this episode

Ali Bradley discusses a cartel tunnel discovered beneath San Diego and the evolving tactics of cartels in response to border enforcement.

Ali Bradley, senior immigration correspondent for NewsNation, joins Joe Pags to reveal a cartel-engineered tunnel discovered 55 feet beneath San Diego — 2,000 feet long with rail systems, lighting, and ventilation. The DOJ seized over a ton of cocaine worth $45 million and tied the operation directly to CJNG. Ali breaks down how the cartels are adapting after the border crackdown: cloning semi-trucks, stuffing people into train cars where seven just died from heat exhaustion, and charging a $5,000 baseline per person. Plus: Tren de Aragua's quiet expansion across America, the coordinated agitators at Delaney Hall, and why a former Border Patrol chief says he cannot confidently tell Americans the border is secure.
