From Fox News: Federal Communication Commission chairman Brendan Carr has opened an investigation into a radio station backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros that broadcasted live locations of undercover Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
A group backed Soros, a far-left kingmaker, purchased a stake in more than 200 Audacy radio stations across America last year. Among them was the San Francisco-based KCBS 740 AM, which has come under fire for revealing live locations of undercover ICE vehicles and agents that were conducting deportation operations in the San Jose area.
The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau has already sent a formal Letter of Inquiry to the radio station as part of the FCC investigation. The Enforcement Bureau proceeding is inquiring whether the radio station–which is licensed to operate by the FCC–is violating the terms of their FCC license, which requires that they operate in the “public interest.” The formal Enforcement Bureau Letter notes that the ICE agents were operating at the time in an area known for violent gang activity.
On January 26 the “KCBS Radio Weekend News,” had revealed specific information about undercover ICE agents who were “carrying out an operation on the east side of town.”
Shockingly, the host had gone so far as to announce the specific make, color and model of several unmarked vehicles used in the operation, along with the exact locations of several ICE agents working in the area.
Carr said in a statement that the DHS and ICE agents “are honorably serving this country and carrying out vital missions. Their safety is paramount. The FCC will hold broadcasters accountable for complying with their public interest obligations.”
I want to express my thanks and appreciation to America’s DHS and ICE agents.
These law enforcement professionals are honorably serving this country and carrying out vital missions.
Their safety is paramount. https://t.co/zXz2MAk9RI— Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) February 5, 2025
