Rolling up illegal aliens already in the country, shifting resources back to Montana, and what about border buoys on Lake Koocanusa? Here's a look at northern border security.

Several illegal aliens were rolled up by US Border Patrol in Whitefish, Montana while News Nation's Ali Bradley was tagging along and bringing the national spotlight to our northern border.

She joined us on the radio Friday to talk about what she saw and heard during her trip with the Border Patrol in Whitefish.

Ali Bradley: "We were really, really fortunate to be the first national media to be able to go out with these individuals- the Border Patrol out here- to see them conduct these targeted enforcement operations. And we were there when one individual was in a vehicle. He was a target, so they knew exactly kind of where he was. You know, it takes days, sometimes months to isolate these targets, to track their whereabouts, the vehicles that they might be in. There's a lot of intel that goes behind this, where they're working with ICE and HSI to isolate and identify these targets."

One of the things I found the  most interesting was how the Border Patrol Chief confirmed that the last administration diverted resources from Montana to the Southern Border- and not to stop illegal aliens from entering the country, but simply to process them into the country.

The other interesting thing Ali told us about is how the Border Patrol is looking at installing buoy barriers on the northern border (her TV report on that topic is below). They're also looking at offering up the use of an app for Americans and Canadians to use that would allow for easier travel between the two countries on the water. You may recall, I travelled to the US-Canada border by boat back in 2022. Click here for those photos and more.

LOOKS: Things you'd likely see in an awesomely '80s garage

From scandalous bikini calendars to your dad's AMC Gremlin, '80s garages were a treasure trove of adventure, good fun, and sometimes downright danger.
