Border Patrol union chief says they're in it ‘for the long haul' as anti-ICE riots rage in LA
Dedicated Border Patrol agents deployed to Los Angeles to quell the anti-ICE riots are in it 'for the long haul,' with their union head saying they're reinvigorated and ready to crack down under President Trump. 'We are not going to leave until the job is done,' National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez told The Post this week. 'And that means making sure that Los Angeles is safe and secure and not chaotic and lawless like it's been in the past.' 3 National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez has vowed his agents won't leave Los Angeles 'until the job is done.' Getty Images Border Patrol agents, including from specialized units such as Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), have been sent in from Arizona to restore order in LA as rioters descended onto the streets, sources told The Post. It's unclear how many agents were deployed. But they're armed and ready with 'pepperball launchers' and 'chemical munitions' to deter the rioters, said Perez. 'Our agents are trained in riot control, it's something that every agent gets trained on,' said Perez. 3 Rioters assaulted federal agents, including those from Customs and Border Protection, with rocks and bricks over the weekend. Barbara Davidson/NYPost 'Our guys are mainly there in a support role to assist ICE and all the other federal partners because we have that specific training.' Rioters assaulted federal agents, including those from Customs and Border Protection, with rocks and bricks over the weekend as the anti-ICE protests took a violent turn in the City of Angels. Riots broke out after ICE began raiding illegal immigrant work hubs like Home Depot parking lots across the city. Some of the demonstrators attempted to block federal agents from making arrests of illegal migrants while looters broke into local shops. 3 It's unclear how many Border Patrol agents were deployed to Los Angeles. Barbara Davidson/NYPost President Trump later deployed 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to control the situation. But as some border agents are in LA, they're not done with their mission of securing the frontlines with Mexico even as illegal crossings have dipped to record lows. While the mission to achieve 'operational control' of the southern border is not yet complete, agents are nearing that goal, said Perez. And border agents are ready to hit the lofty objective with morale through the roof under Trump. 'I believe we're getting there really, really quick. Under President Trump's term, we'll definitely hit that,' said Perez. 'What happened to us under the Biden administration was the lowest of the low,' Perez said. 'And when President Trump came into office, this is the highest it's ever been as far as morale, so we're really enjoying working for President Trump.'

A Drastically Different U.S. Southern Border
Last night, President Trump touted his administration's first 100 days' accomplishments at a rally in Warren, Michigan. It was in Warren that the President continued to highlight his progress on securing the southern border, which was one of his most frequent campaign promises. President of the National Border Patrol Council, Paul Perez, joins to break down what they've seen so far in terms of border security and the administration's continued efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. President Trump and his administration have explained the goals of their tariffs are two-fold: first, to address U.S. trade imbalances, and second, to bring manufacturing back into America. The sweeping tariffs have caused some volatility in the market, but the President posted on social media that Americans must 'hang tough,' promising 'the end result will be historic.' U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer joins the podcast to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to grow the U.S. workforce, how reshoring manufacturing bolsters national security, and efforts to help supply American businesses with greater workforce numbers.
