Border Patrol Called in for 'Devil in the Ozarks' Fugitive Hunt

Fugitive Hunt and Border Patrol Involvement

• 🚨 Border Patrol's elite units have been called in to assist in the search for Grant Hardin, a former police chief and convicted murderer and rapist, who escaped from an Arkansas prison.
• 🔍 The involvement of specialized units suggests a need for enhanced investigative power and potentially a connection not publicly known.
• 🧠 The fugitive's background as a law enforcement officer adds complexity to the manhunt, requiring specialized training and approaches.
• 💡 The call for outside assistance indicates a need for new ideas and perspectives to re-examine the case and develop new theories.

Immigration Enforcement and Trends

• 📊 Chad Wolf discusses immigration enforcement, noting that daily arrest numbers fluctuate but long-term trends are important.
• 📈 He gives the Trump administration an 'A' for removals, stating they are operating at a higher rate than previous administrations, though still short of stated goals.
• ⚠️ Both border apprehensions and removals/repatriations are considered to be going well but require further ramp-up.

Deportation and Due Process

• ⚖️ Regarding the Kilmargo Garcia case, Wolf expresses mixed feelings about bringing individuals back to the U.S. for prosecution after deportation orders.
• 📌 Garcia received a final order of removal from an immigration judge, which constitutes due process.
• 🚫 If Garcia returns to the U.S., he should be detained and removed to a third country, as he has no legal right to remain in the United States.
• 🌍 The Trump administration would likely remove him to a safe third country if he were brought back.
