'Border Live': Ex-US Marshals commander Lenny DePaul on what's really going on at the border behind the political veil

The decorated former law enforcement officer gave us a vivid behind-the-scenes insight into the imminent perils a border enforcement agent faces on a daily basis.
PUBLISHED DEC 17, 2018

With many Democrats considering a border wall “immoral", the national debate on one of the most polarizing issues facing America is not considering the ordeal a border agent has to go through each day. 

Discovery on December 5 premiered a 6-part multiplatform series Border Live, that documents "the work of law enforcement on the U.S.-Mexico border as well as the real lives, real moments and real stories of those that live and work along its remote stretches."

 

'Border Live' crews are embedded out in the field with officers and special agents at key border sites from Nogales, Ariz., in the west to the Rio Grande Valley in the east.

Discovery is working with law enforcement offices on-the-ground in Texas including the City of San Juan Police Department and Cameron County Sheriff’s Office as well as in Arizona with the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office.
