The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is opening an investigation into Audacy San Francisco all-news radio station KCBS after a host revealed details of where ICE agents were operating in the area in late January.
During the weekend news, an anchor revealed that ICE agents were conducting operations in eastern portions of the Bay Area, which included details of the make, model, and colors of the unmarked vehicles being used in the operation.
“I want to express my thanks and appreciation to DHS and ICE agents. These law enforcement professionals 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,” Carr told Fox News Digital.
The FCC’s enforcement bureau has sent a letter of inquiry to KCBS as part of its investigation, noting that agents of the government agency were operating in an area “known for gang activity” when the station revealed the details of the operation.
