FCC chair says it's 'really concerning' that a Soros-backed radio station exposed undercover ICE agents

Carr's FCC is looking into 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 area.

"I try to look on the bright side of things, and here I think that's the fact, that we were having an unprecedented number of deportations taking place in this country, and for that, thank goodness for President Trump," Carr told Brian Kilmeade on Thursday on "FOX & Friends."

"Promises made, promises kept. He came in and said he's the person that can not only secure the border, but also deport people here illegally, and he's carrying that out with unprecedented speed," Carr continued. "This is really concerning, so what happened was you had ICE agents undercover doing operations in East San Jose, 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."

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

A group backed by Soros, a far-left kingmaker, purchased a stake in more than 200 Audacy radio stations across America last year. Among them was KCBS 740 AM. 

Audacy declined comment when reached by Fox News Digital. 

On the January 26 edition of "KCBS Radio Weekend News," it revealed specific information about undercover ICE agents who were "carrying out an operation on the east side of town."

"The Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defense projecting system for immigrant communities against deportation threats, first report the activity on its platforms," the host told listeners. 

Trump selected Carr to serve as FCC chairman. He was previously the senior Republican member of the FCC, first nominated to the commission by Trump in 2017.
