(Carolyn Van Houten/The Washington Post via Getty Images) The Border Patrol is prepared to face down any increase of violence or threats along the southern border, according to a Border Patrol official who spoke on background with The Daily Signal. " If needed, Border Patrol will surge additional resources to the border to ensure the safety of its agents, the official explained. " In memos circulated among U.S. Customs and Border Protection and reported on by NewsNation, the Mexican cartels have reportedly authorized the use of "weaponized drone explosives against border agents and other U.S. law enforcement" along America's border with Mexico. " The Border Patrol official declined to comment on the leaked memos, but made it clear that any threat against the men and women who serve at the border won't be tolerated.

"The company will be valued around $14 billion. We actually think this is a good deal for investors," Vance said, "but ultimately the investors are going to make the determination about what they want to invest in and what they think is proper value." Enterprise tech giant Oracle, Silver Lake and the Abu Dhabi-based MGX investment fund will be main investors in TikTok's U.S. business, according to Trump. In response to a question from The Daily Signal, Trump confirmed that there will no operational relationship with Chinese entities or staff to execute the TikTok deal.

1+ mon, 1+ week ago (540+ words) Rob Bluey / @RobertBluey Rob Bluey is president and executive editor of The Daily Signal. Send an email to Rob. There is no greater duty for American journalists than to truthfully inform the public about their government, most especially efforts to keep the homeland safe from national security threats both foreign and domestic. Sadly, too many journalists in recent years have abdicated this responsibility. Some reported that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to influence the results of the 2016 election. Some published anonymous claims that the sitting president called service members "suckers and losers" despite mountains of on-the-record evidence to the contrary. Some failed to thoroughly investigate claims of "Russian bounties" on U.S. troops in Afghanistan. These stories eroded the public's trust in media and jeopardized the credibility of the press. For journalists, the tension between access and accountability will always be…...

3+ mon, 2+ week ago (678+ words) Although the backlash to the overturning of Roe v. Wade appears to have subsided, vandals, arsonists, and worse targeted hundreds of churches in 2024, according to a new report. Travis Weber, vice president for policy and government affairs at the Family Research Council, which released the report Monday, said most Americans would be surprised to hear that 383 churches suffered 415 attacks in 2024. "We have a tendency in the West and in the United States to think of ourselves as safe and freedom-loving, tolerant, and protective of religious freedom, including religious freedom to practice Christianity," he told The Daily Signal in an interview Friday. "So, I think the fact that we have hundreds of incidents'specifically, 415'in the year 2024 is very revealing." While these 415 attacks represented a decrease from the 2023 high of 485 attacks, it still included hundreds more incidents than in 2022 (198), 2021 (98), and previous years. While…...

5+ mon, 3+ day ago (222+ words) Press secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized The Miami Herald for publishing an article claiming the Trump administration is targeting migrant foster children. Leavitt said she was "aghast" at the headline: "Trump administration targets Florida foster kids, migrant youth for deportations." On average, 11,132 unaccompanied children were encountered at the southern border monthly under the'Biden administration, according to a DHS official. The Biden administration lost track of more than 320,000 migrant children who crossed the border without their parents. "We are trying to keep children out of harm's way, even if that means their parents are not law-abiding citizens," Leavitt continued. "We want to protect children, unlike the previous administration, which allowed children to be trafficked and raped, and in some cases killed, because of the open-border policies." The Miami Herald "degraded" itself with the false report, Leavitt said. The South Florida publication…...

2+ mon, 3+ week ago (695+ words) A young woman'was brutally murdered'on public transportation in a blue city, and the corporate media thinks that the only story worth reporting is that some Americans are angry about it. On Thursday, a convicted felon named Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina on the charge of killing 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train August 22. Shortly after Brown's arrest, the Charlotte Area Transit System released a video of the killing. The suspect appeared to stab the woman unprovoked as she sat in her seat. The story has exploded on social media and coincides with President Donald Trump's message that crime in America's big cities is both unacceptably high and is something that can be alleviated if authorities have the will to do so. Trump weighed in Monday on Truth Social, saying that Democrats in…...

(Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images) Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell is the White House Correspondent for "The Daily Signal." Send her an email. The Biden administration's CBP One app facilitated the "mass illegal entry" of illegal immigrants, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday. "It was like a fast pass at Disneyland," Leavitt told The Daily Signal at a White House press briefing. The Trump administration, however, repurposed the app to make it easier for illegal immigrants to self-deport. The CBP Home app provides illegal immigrants with a way to report their planned self-deportation to the Department of Homeland Security. " If"illegal immigrants"don't self-deport, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has warned, "we will find them, we will deport them, and they…...

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION'Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt said Monday that Massachusetts officials who released child rapists instead of turning them over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be "punished by God." "I'm coming to Boston. I'm bringing hell with me," Homan said during the Saturday speech, later adding, "Nine child rapists in jail in Massachusetts were, rather than honoring ICE detainers, released them back into the street. You're not a police commissioner, take that badge off your chest, put it in the desk drawer, because you became a politician, you forgot what it was like to be a cop."
