Inside the Mind of an Undercover Homeland Security Agent | Jim Weber

Jim Weber started in state law enforcement before moving up to the federal level, eventually becoming one of the first agents in the Homeland Security Agency. Over the years, he worked undercover, taking down drug traffickers, human smugglers, and organized crime networks, all while navigating the high-stakes world of federal investigations. In this episode, Jim shares what it was like to live a double life, the risks of undercover work, and the intense pressure of taking down criminals at the highest level.
