You’ve probably seen him on TV. Perfect hair, calm under pressure, somewhere in South Texas as a drone captures chaos overhead.

But Bill Melugin is more than just Fox News’ go-to guy for immigration coverage. He’s a former model, Emmy-winning investigator, and mama’s boy with a serious work ethic, and a long-term love story that fans are just now discovering.

From Border Breakouts to Inauguration Day
Melugin joined Fox News in May 2021 and didn’t ease in. He’s covered major national stories mass migrant crossings, wildfires, school shootings, even presidential inaugurations.

He’s not behind a desk. He’s in it. In 2022 alone, he logged 170 days at the U.S.-Mexico border. From thermal drone footage of camouflaged crossings to interviews with migrants from Venezuela and Cuba, Melugin has become a fixture in Fox’s immigration coverage.
