Episode 565 – “Behind the Headlines: Asylum, Attacks, and Accountability”
Host Art Del Cueto opens the show with a reminder about the importance of knowing your location—using mile markers or landmarks—especially crucial for law enforcement and public safety. He explains the limitations of the asylum process, stressing it’s not a tool to resolve global poverty and that each case must be merit-based. Art criticizes politicians attempting to sidestep due process and calls out the hypocrisy of those supporting asylum seekers while promoting low-wage farm labor, likening it to modern-day slavery.
Art addresses recent reports of ICE agents detaining individuals outside courtrooms after asylum case dismissals, supporting both the practice and the agents’ use of face coverings for safety.
The show also covers a recent terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, where a visa-overstaying foreign national used Molotov cocktails and gasoline to target Americans based on religion—injuring 12, including the elderly. Art questions the reluctance to label the incident as terrorism and expresses concern over bystander inaction. The attacker’s family, also in the U.S. under questionable circumstances, is now under ICE investigation.
Art emphasizes the need for situational awareness at public gatherings and events. He wraps the show with updates on a bombing investigation at a Palm Springs clinic. The FBI has arrested Daniel Park of Kent, Washington, for shipping large quantities of fertilizer tied to the explosion—similar to materials used in the Oklahoma City bombing. The case remains under investigation with more charges possible.

Episode 564 – “The Border Is Quiet… Said No Agent Ever!”
For this Week’s The Green Line Radio Show, Host Art Del Cueto delves into the ongoing challenges at the U.S.–Mexico border, emphasizing that while media coverage may suggest otherwise, agents are busier than ever. He highlights the significance of recent funding legislation in process, which could allocate vital resources for border wall construction, deportation efforts, and the recruitment and retention of Border Patrol agents.
Art explores the deep entanglement between drug cartels and human smuggling networks, explaining how cartels control crossings and form alliances to protect their billion-dollar operations—especially in trafficking fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine. He also addresses how cartels use decoys to distract from real drug smuggling routes, creating additional challenges for agents.
Turning to asylum policy, Art focuses on recent stories in the media of asylum applicants which did not represent a viable Asylum claim and are ultimately denied and then removed after their court hearings and argues that the issue is often misrepresented by the left.
He reflects on the 101st anniversary of the Border Patrol and the unity and dedication among agents, despite changing leadership and ongoing adversity.
Art also addresses internal frustrations among agents, particularly policies requiring new hires to serve two years on the southern border before transferring north—leaving many veteran agents feeling overlooked. Still, he praises recent successes in prosecuting drug smugglers and traffickers.
Wrapping up, Art shares his experience at Tucson’s Memorial Day Parade, where he was recognized by listeners. He stresses the importance of public awareness, shares a humorous run-in with Tucson Mayor Regina Romero on a flight, and encourages listeners to stay engaged in local and national elections to ensure strong leadership.
