Mark Lamb Appears on Fox & Friends Ahead of Charlie Kirk Memorial Service

Former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb appeared live on Fox & Friends the morning of the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service at State Farm Stadium, where more than 100,000 attendees and multiple high-profile leaders, including President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, gathered to honor the late conservative activist.

Sheriff Lamb spoke about the heightened security measures in place, describing them as “exponentially higher” than even those seen during past presidential visits. “After what happened to Charlie, you can’t take any precautions for granted,” Lamb said. “They’re ensuring that everyone, from the attendees to our nation’s leaders, is safe.”

When asked about the arrest of an armed man inside the stadium the previous day, Lamb noted that such incidents are unusual given the Secret Service’s presence. “It sounds fishy to me, but in law enforcement, you wait until all the facts come in,” he said.

Lamb also responded to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent signing of anti-ICE legislation, criticizing the move as “idiocy” and warning that it undermines law enforcement. “These politicians care more about illegal immigrants and criminals than they do about American citizens,” Lamb said. “Using terms like ‘kidnapping’ to describe lawful arrests is dangerous and irresponsible. Words matter.”

Lamb emphasized that the rhetoric against law enforcement contributes to division and violence in the country. “We’re here today because politicians keep using inflammatory language toward our officers. ICE didn’t make the rules — they’re enforcing the laws that Congress and the President set.”

The segment underscored Sheriff Lamb’s ongoing commitment to defending law enforcement, border security, and the values of God, Family, and Freedom, even as he continues his national advocacy work following his retirement from office.
