Border patrol agent claims government firearm was revoked after appearance in James O'Keefe film 'Line in the Sand': report

A Border Patrol agent who appeared in the film "Line in the Sand" that was directed by investigative journalist James O'Keefe reportedly had his government-issued firearm revoked the day after the film streamed on Tucker Carlson's platform.

According to a post from O'Keefe, "Zachary Apotheker, border patrol agent whistleblower in the film, 'Line in the Sand,' just had his firearm revoked!" O'Keefe shared a post from Apotheker, who made the claim and shared what appeared to be a letter from the US Border Patrol Division Chief.

Apotheker was featured in the film on immigration which addresses the corruption involved with the cartels operating at the border and human trafficking that takes place. The chief over the Vermont Swanton sector is Border Patrol Chief Robert Garcia.

The border agent posted what appeared to be a letter, ordering that his government-issued firearm be taken away.

“Just one day after my appearance in James O’Keefe’s film "Line in the Sand," now streaming on the Tucker Carlson Network, my government-issued firearm was revoked. The reason? Alleged breaches of security and integrity policies.”

He added, “I took an oath to defend our Constitution and to protect the American public. This has been the greatest honor of my life. Yet, when you're truly over the target, you become the target.”

Prior to this, it was reported that Apotheker was issued other orders related to the film. In another letter, he was ordered to cease and desist any conduct related to producing content in the film, per the Vermont Daily Chronicle.
