Go behind the scenes in El Paso, Texas, where the job doesn’t stop and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this installment of 'TABS on the Ground,' @Chris_Hartsock rides along with @ICEgov agents working long hours under intense pressure to protect American communities. This is the frontline reality, dangerous operations, real consequences, and the responsibility of keeping people safe. While the debate plays out elsewhere, this is where the work gets done. No filters. No narratives. Just what’s happening on the ground. Watch now.

Today we remember Tierra Stansberry. Tierra was just 18 years old when her life was tragically taken in a deadly fire at a vacant building in Los Angeles, California. The fire was started by a Honduran illegal alien. Five people lost their lives, including Tierra. Gone too soon. Never forgotten. Tierra Stansberry 08/11/1997 – 06/13/2016

🚨HEARTBREAKING! TABS Angel Brother @thejodyjonessho shares the devastating loss of his brother, Rocky Jones, who was shot eight times at point-blank range by an illegal alien who had been arrested and released just 24 HOURS earlier. @ICEgov had issued a detainer, but California's SB 54 sanctuary law prevented local authorities from honoring it without a federal warrant. Rocky Jones should still be here today. This is why sanctuary policies have consequences.

🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Authorities have located 146,000 migrant children, yet nearly 300,000 remain unaccounted for. @SecMullinDHS's message is simple: every leader should support efforts to find these children, rescue those being exploited, and hold traffickers accountable. If you oppose efforts to locate vulnerable children, what exactly are you defending? EVIL. Finding missing and vulnerable children is not political. It's the right thing to do.

This week, The American Border Story brought Fentanyl Moms April Babcock, Jackie Long, Debbie Santini, and Deborah Dinocenzo, along with Angel Sister Chris Storie, to a press conference and filming with @SpeakerMJohnson, the Speaker of the House after House Republicans passed the Secure America Act to fund ICE and CBP. The Secure America Act is a huge step in the right direction. These courageous families have turned unimaginable loss into advocacy, ensuring that the voices of victims are heard at the highest levels of government. At TABS, our mission is to give Angel Families and Fentanyl Families a seat at the table, amplify their stories, and fight for policies that help protect American communities.

Our mission is clear: support victims' families, tell their stories, fight for accountability, and ensure these preventable tragedies are never forgotten.  TABS Executive Director @KiprilovNicole explains that The American Border Story exists to give Angel Families a voice after years of being ignored by the media and left out of policy discussions.  Follow us on social media and support our mission through your donation. Together, we can ensure these families are heard and their loved ones are never forgotten.

POLITICIANS NEED TO LISTEN. TABS Angel Dad @AngelDadJoe calls on policymakers to put ideology aside and listen to the families living with the consequences of failed policies. As Joe explains, reassessing policies in light of real-world tragedies is not weakness. It's leadership. Angel Families deserve to be heard, not ignored.

🚨BREAKING: @POTUS has signed the Secure America Act, a $70 billion funding package for our brave @ICEgov agents and Border Patrol officers. This funding will provide the resources, manpower, and support needed to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and protect American communities. A secure border starts with giving our frontline law enforcement the tools they need to do their jobs. This is a major step in the right direction.

FUND CBP & ICE. @SecMullinDHS warns that defunding @CBP and @ICEgov is reckless. These agencies exist to secure our borders, protect our ports of entry, enforce our laws, and remove dangerous criminals from our communities.  If we want safer communities and a secure border, we need to support the men and women on the front lines, not defund them.

TABS @AngelDadJoe response back to the daily script: “Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant...but only five people were killed in 2025 by intoxicated illegal immigrants driving in Illinois…” We should not normalize and contextualize these preventable tragedies! If we ignore them, it allows the unacceptable to become acceptable.

🚨 BREAKING: Vice President @JDVance says the administration is working to address cases involving immigration fraud and undo benefits that were granted through fraudulent asylum and refugee claims. U.S. citizenship is a privilege that must be earned legally and that individuals who obtained it through fraud should be held accountable.

Thank you @RepEliCrane   During a congressional hearing, @RepEliCrane honored several Angel & Fentanyl Families who recently shared their stories at The American Border Story roundtable at the Arizona State Capitol.  These families are living with a painful reality: their loved ones are gone because of tragedies they believe were completely preventable. At The American Border Story, our mission is simple: give victims a voice, support grieving families, and fight for the accountability and justice they deserve.

COMMON SENSE: A secure border should not be controversial. TABS Executive Director @KiprilovNicole explains that allowing millions of people to enter the country without meaningful enforcement or accountability is not a system that can function. Every nation has a responsibility to enforce its laws, secure its borders, and protect its citizens.

🚨 DISTURBING: Rioters fight law enforcement outside Delaney Hall @ICEgov Detention Center in New Jersey. "I went to [Delaney Hall]...unannounced, had lunch, with detainees, had the same meal they had!" - Tom Homan The facts matter. So does the rule of law. Violence, riots, and attacks on law enforcement should never be tolerated. Those who break the law should be held accountable through arrests and prosecution.

🚨 SEX OFFENDER ARRESTED IN TEXAS. Rufino Varela-Flores, a previously deported illegal alien from Mexico, was turned over to @ICEgov after the Randall County Sheriff's Office arrested him for public intoxication and discovered he was in the country illegally. His criminal history includes TWO felony convictions for sexual assault and FOUR drug possession convictions. After serving a four-year prison sentence, he was deported in 2015 but later reentered the United States. This case is a reminder of why cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE matters. Thanks to that partnership, a convicted sex offender is now in custody and no longer free to threaten American communities. It is also a reminder of why secure borders matter, so dangerous criminals cannot repeatedly reenter the United States after being deported.

THE TRUTH: Peaceful protest does not include assaulting law enforcement officers, damaging property, or threatening officers and their families. @SecretaryMullin calls out the anti-@ICEgov protests, noting that officers were hit, scratched, and threatened. Support our law enforcement officers. Violence is not peaceful protest.
