The Lone Star Defender Standing Against Mexican Cartels

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil speaks with Sheriff Roy Boyd of Goliad County, Texas, a dedicated seventh-generation Texan with over 30 years of law enforcement experience. Sheriff Boyd has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives like the Operation Lone Star Task Force, tackling the critical issues of open borders, human and drug trafficking, and the pervasive influence of cartels in Texas. In this episode, Sheriff Boyd opens up about the stark realities of living and working near the US-Mexico border. He shares harrowing accounts of cartel scouts brazenly passing by his home, raising serious safety concerns for his family. Boyd sheds light on the cartel's iron grip on border crossings, where they demand payments and mercilessly punish those attempting unauthorized passage. Dr. Phil and Roy also delves into the complexities of the cartel-controlled plaza system in Mexico, where government territories are unofficially leased to cartels, further complicating border security efforts. Their conversation navigates the sinister tactics employed by cartels to manipulate smuggling routes and adapt to enforcement measures, highlighting their relentless, profit-driven operations. Despite the heavy flow of illicit traffic, Sheriff Boyd's collaborative efforts with other law enforcement agencies have successfully reduced crime in Goliad County. He passionately advocates for policies aimed at deporting illegal immigrants to diminish the cartel's influence within the U.S. Dr. Phil notes an uplift in morale among border law enforcement since Border Czar Tom Homan's involvement, suggesting a more effective collaboration and crackdown on organized crime. With unwavering commitment and courageous endeavors, Sheriff Roy Boyd vows to protect his community and uphold justice against formidable odds.
