In an in-depth conversation with Joe Pags, security expert and former ICE Special Agent Victor Avila shared his thoughts on the recent attempted assassination of former President Trump and the alarming issues surrounding U.S. border security. Avila started by questioning how the would-be assassin was still at large despite being known to local authorities, suggesting something may be “off” with the way the case is being handled. He praised the Florida authorities for conducting their own investigation but expressed concerns about trusting the FBI in such a high-profile case.
Avila highlighted the importance of bolstering Trump’s security team, insisting that private security should complement the Secret Service. He tied this to broader issues within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Mayorkas, explaining that current leadership has led to compromised national security, particularly in relation to the open borders.
Discussing the crisis at the border, Avila pointed out that gang and cartel activity has spilled over into U.S. cities, with major incidents happening in places like Aurora, CO, and Dallas, TX. He stressed that these are not just gangs, but highly organized cartels seeking to dominate neighborhoods, fueled by illegal immigration under the current administration.
Avila emphasized the strain on small towns where immigrants are being flown in, suggesting this influx is by design and warning of rising crime and overburdened local officials. While advocating for diversity, he explained that a failure to assimilate into American society is creating major issues, and he called for securing the border as the first step toward solving these problems.
