Why the hell is the OFO taking orders from a congresswoman???
BARTIROMO: Let me share with you what I heard from one of my sources at the border.
As you know, we took this program to the border in April of 2019. And I have been in touch with many of the border officials. He told me that local Congresswoman Veronica Escobar is telling the Border Patrol management not to work with the OFO -- that's the Office of Field Operations -- because she's concerned that migrants are going to be fearful to turn themselves in.
So, now the Office of Field Operations is not working hand in glove with the Border Patrol management. She also told them that the Office of Field Operations should not be holding any machine guns. She said that migrants are feeling threatened when they drive over the bridge coming from Mexico because OFO officers had their M4s with them.
So, now these officers are not allowed to have their machine guns with them. And they are fighting a massive drug cartel war that is happening right now. The officers were ordered to be at the top of the bridges without adequate weaponry in case they are to receive any type of attack from these cartel members. Well, they're out of luck.
