    A San Francisco radio station is being investigated by the Federal Communications Commission after apparently broadcasting details about
    activity by undercover Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents
    operating in the Bay Area, according to chairman Brendan Carr.

    Carr said KCBS broadcasted the ICE agents’ locations in East San Jose and identified the unmarked vehicles they were riding in on Jan. 26. Carr said
    the area was “known for violent gang activity” and called the broadcast
    “really concerning,” during a Fox News broadcast Thursday.

    “We have sent a letter of inquiry, a formal investigation into that
    matter, and they have just a matter of days left to respond to that
    inquiry and explain how this could possibly be consistent with their
    public interest obligations,” Carr said during the appearance.

    Under the Communications Act of 1934, organizations licensed to broadcast
    by the FCC are charged with operating in the “public interest,
    convenience, and necessity.”

    Carr, a Republican, was tapped by Trump in November to chair the FCC after previously serving as the agency’s general counsel.

    Earlier in his appearance on Fox News Carr praised Trump for his crackdown
    on undocumented immigrants.

    “He came in and said he’s the person that can not only secure the border
    but also deport people here illegally,” Carr said on Fox News. “And he’s carrying that out with unprecedented speed.”

    KCBS’s parent company, Audacy, declined to comment.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
    eradicated.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
