Tonight, a video of me was featured on Tucker Carlson's Instagram. There was a movie premiere in California, but I decided not to attend. It wasn't because I didn't want to go, but to stay close to my family. I'll never be a 'Hollywood guy.' I'm a street kid from a small town outside Boston, a place nobody's ever heard of or cares about.
I don't know how many more happy times I'll have with my family. None of us really know how many more happy moments we'll share with our loved ones. It seems like the number of these moments keeps dwindling.
I love you all, wish you the best, and will continue to fight for you in the best way I know how. Tucker captioned my statement as powerful, and I appreciate that recognition. I never really knew how powerful I could be. I'm just a kid who watched both his parents bury his two older brothers due to drug overdoses, and I signed up to make a difference.

**🚨 Sounding the Alarm on Border Security: A Thread 🧵**
1/1 Imagine this: You're a Border Patrol Agent, sworn to protect, but what you're seeing at the border is beyond alarming. So I decided to speak out and was served a cease and desist. Here's the reality:
- **Women in peril**: American women are being raped and murdered by people encountered by Border Patrol and brought into the country through NGOs receiving taxpayer funds.
- **Criminal benefits**: Gang members are getting perks meant for our war heroes and citizens.
2/2 Meanwhile, **Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens was enjoying a fiesta in Mexico** with Francisco Javier Gonzalez, the grandson of Don Julio, smoking a big long cigar at the Tequila Casa de los González, his family’s distillery complex, not a care in the world:
- With him, the likes of Gloria Chavez, RGV Sector Chief, having a grand old time.
Oh, and by the way, Mexican-American businessman Eduardo Garza, who owns Uni-Trade, which advises international companies on “global transportation, foreign trade and customs,” hosted Border Patrol officials at his ranch in Laredo, Texas, for three events and hosted a smaller group of officials in Mexico for two other events, sources say.
When confronted with this issue, the excuse was: Our great leaders were creating a tequila brand for Border Patrol's 100-year anniversary.
Meanwhile, suicide is at an all-time high, and the one thing leadership tells agents not to do is over-consume alcohol. Clearly, leadership doesn’t care about the country or agents, only themselves. Sickening.
3/3 I met with Senator Ron Johnson. His solution? Maybe a letter. Is that how we fix a broken border and broken leadership?
