"The cartels run the border down here,” says Aaron Veckey, a United States Border Patrol agent with 19 years of service, stepping forward to expose the horrific conditions at the U.S.-Mexico border. Inspired by fellow whistleblower Zachary Apotheker (@ZachApotheker), featured in “Line in the Sand,” Veckey brings OMG onsite to his Customs and Border Protection patrol station in Ajo, Arizona, to reveal the disturbing truth.
“Where I first saw it [human rights violations] was here, underneath that canopy there,” Veckey shares. “It was just men, women, and children… They were freezing. It was at least 40 degrees.” He describes another instance of extreme conditions, adding, “You got 50 Muslims, 50 Sikhs, 50 Christians, 50 whatever, and they're fighting over shade.”
“If they have a thousand bodies for us, as fast as they can bring us bodies, we pick them up as fast and we push them all into this parking lot.” He adds, “They have pushed us around through fear, through browbeating us. They've ordered us to do stuff,” highlighting how U.S. Border Patrol agents are often forced between cartel operations and bureaucratic pressure to keep quiet.
Bringing these atrocities to the attention of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), Veckey filed reports detailing the violations, only to be met with a cease and desist letter, ordering him to stay silent. Despite being ordered to remain silent, Veckey is sacrificing his future for justice.

“You could have somebody cutting through the wall… and you can’t launch a pepper ball in his direction. Apparently, at that time, you couldn’t do anything.”
Aaron Veckey, former Border Patrol agent, says “all these refugees and all these asylum seekers… weren’t even allowed to come in through the right way” and were “funneled… through holes in the fence into the Border Patrol.”
James O'Keefe asks, “You don’t really enforce the law, do you, anymore?” Veckey responds: “At that time, we weren’t.”

“They think it’s funny… but I’m a law enforcement officer and a Christian first. It’s not my job to punish these people for coming here illegally.”
Aaron Veckey, a former Border Patrol agent, describes walking into a freezing cell with 60 men piled together, “intertwined, hugging each other… to try to stay warm,” after agents failed to turn on heaters or provide blankets. Some agents, he says, laughed and told him, “Well, this is what they get for coming here.”

“I pointed it out and I begged the Office of Special Counsel to send investigators in, and they didn’t. Instead, they investigated me.”
Aaron Veckey, a former Border Patrol agent, shares the painful truth of his whistleblowing experience. Despite his efforts to expose violations within the agency, the very institution he trusted to uphold justice turned on him. Rather than investigating the corruption, the Office of Special Counsel targeted him instead.
James O'Keefe adds, “When the system is more concerned with protecting its own than doing what's right, whistleblowers become the enemy.”
