The FCC is carrying out an investigation into KCBS Radio due to the station's broadcast that disclosed the live locations of undercover ICE agents in San Jose. Chairman Brendan Carr highlighted concerns over the potential danger of revealing these agents' whereabouts amid a climate of heightened tensions surrounding immigration enforcement. The incident, stemming from January 26's airing, involved the sharing of specific vehicle details and locations sourced from a local network aimed at protecting immigrant families. The station must justify its actions within days or face consequences under its FCC licensing obligations.
You had ICE agents undercover doing operations in east San Jose and part of the town known for violent gang activity, and you had this radio station broadcasting the live location, identifying the unmarked vehicles that they were in.
The County's Response Network says agents in San Jose were in unmarked vehicles, describing the color, make and model of the vehicles before listing the streets and locations where they were spotted.
