“Still Standing:" O'Keefe Delivers Powerful Message of Courage at Operation Hope 2025 Banquet

At the Operation Hope Annual Banquet, James O'Keefe recounted how a chance encounter with a whistleblower at an American Airlines gate in December 2023 sparked a major undercover investigation into the covert transportation of illegal immigrants through U.S. airports. The unnamed ticket agent courageously tipped off O’Keefe, revealing that buses were regularly dropping off migrants for unvetted flights—an act he witnessed daily at 3 and 6 PM.

O'Keefe also introduced viewers to a Border Patrol agent named Aaron Veceky, who expressed deep internal conflict over his role, saying he wanted to be able to tell his granddaughter one day: “I fought and I tried. I did my best.” O'Keefe praised individuals like Aaron Veckey and Clarissa Rippee, a fellow federal employee who has since come forward, as examples of hope—everyday Americans choosing courage over compliance.
