Fox’s new show, The Deputy, is hardly unique on the topic of illegal aliens, and this show has the Deputy who is protecting illegal aliens from ICE. The deputy is a hard as nails law enforcement officer, who comes from a long family of law enforcement officers.

ABC’s The Rookie is hardly unique in constantly showing criminals using machine guns, but it is a little amazing that the criminals seem to be using nothing but. These clips are from this season (Season 2, E7 November 10, 2019), but we just recently became aware of this episode.
