Extra: The Untold Story of the U.S. Border Patrol
Over the past several weeks, FOX News Contributor, retired Marines Staff Sergeant Joey Jones has featured first responders as part of the FOX News Rundown's 'Great Americans' series. Earlier this week, Jones spoke with Vincent Vargas Vargas, after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Ranger, returned home and joined the Border Patrol, working along the U.S.-Mexico border, eventually becoming part of BORSTAR, the Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue unit. As part of that group, he focused on saving lives through search-and-rescue missions, medical interventions, and crisis response, regardless of the circumstances that led individuals at risk to cross the border. Vargas is now retired, and when he is not acting, he is a journalist, podcast host, and advocate for veterans. Joey and Vincent discussed his time in the military, the challenges of being a border patrol agent, and the work he's doing now.

A 'Big Win' For Women's Sports
The University of Pennsylvania has been at the heart of the debate over transgender athletes since awarding accolades to controversial competitor Lia Thomas. After an investigation from President Trump's Department of Education, UPenn has now agreed to keep transgender athletes out of women's sports and restore titles to the women who came in second behind biological males. Former member of the UPenn swim team Paula Scanlan joins the Rundown to explain why her alma mater's updated decision is a win for female athletes and the Trump administration. Border patrol agents have a massive responsibility to both protect and secure America's borders. Despite risking their lives trying to catch criminals like drug smugglers and human traffickers, much of a border patrol agent's job involves saving lives too. Army veteran and former border patrol agent Vincent Vargas joins retired Staff Sergeant Joey Jones to highlight the complexity of the job and what led him down this career path.
