On Friday’s episode of Human Events Daily, host Jack Posobiec recounted his recent visit to the northern border in Vermont with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, where he showcased how easy it was to cross between Canada and the US unencumbered. He spoke with Noem about the conditions at the border and her plans to increase border integrity and resources for agents.
Posobiec embedded with the DHS team on Thursday, visiting the border station where slain 44-year-old Border Patrol agent David Maland worked as well as the northern border in the Swanton Sector. Maland was killed in a shoot out with two members of a trans terror cell called Ziz. Another trans suspect is being sought in connection with the killing.
Posobiec said that there has been a "complete lack of resources at the northern border," and that the Swanton Sector recorded 19,000 arrests in 2024, a "massive explosion from years past." This includes a lack of snow tires for Vermont border agents working in frigid temperatures and snowy conditions.
"You’re seeing the people come across. You’re seeing drugs come across. You’re seeing guns come across, firearms," he said, noting that "these are foreign nationals, even from Mexico, that are flying up to Canada and then just walking across."
To show how porous the border was in Vermont, Posobiec played a clip of his visit to a local library that lies on the border between the US and Canada, with just a sign telling people, "Do not enter." "I can invade Canada with snowballs right now. perhaps I will, Trudeau look out." The situation, in which many towns were established before the international boundary lines were established, is being "exploited by bad actors," he said.
Posobiec said that border patrol explained people are going to Canada from places around the world with proper credentials to get into that country, and then they’re using the library as a "meeting place."
"So they go into the library, they can meet someone, they can hand over contraband, they can hand over materials, they can hand over things they’re not supposed to and then the person comes out and is able to walk directly into the United States without any actual border being crossed," he explained.
