President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar said that while the Biden administration’s latest deportation numbers appear high, they aren’t actually indicative of increased enforcement actions across the country.
More than 271,000 illegal migrants were deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in fiscal year 2024, marking the largest number of foreign nationals removed from the United States in a decade, according to a report released Thursday by the Biden administration. However, Tom Homan — a former acting director for the agency and the incoming border czar for the Trump administration — said these removals were largely a result of Border Patrol apprehensions and not indicative of immigration enforcement in the interior of the country.

Illegal border crossers from Venezuela with confirmed ties to the violent prison gang Tren de Aragua have been connected to an ATM theft ring in multiple states. The latest arrests occurred in North and South Dakota.

Tradition is the cumulative experience of thousands of human lives. It is the conclusions reached by countless ancestors who tested what it meant to live well. Unfortunately, we are losing many of our traditions and their accompanying wisdom, abandoning the practices by which we speak to the past, and the past speaks to us.
One way our ancestors lived well was by engaging in certain yearly celebrations surrounding Christmas and the holiday season. They bequeathed many of these delightful and meaningful celebrations to us—if we care to receive them.

Some recent proposed regulatory changes by two key federal agencies are raising alarms among experts and former regulators, who warn that the moves could destabilize the banking sector and drive up energy prices.
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced proposed rules on Regulations Implementing the Change in Bank Control Act that would tighten control over index fund managers’ investments in banks. The proposed rule would require asset managers who own more than a 10% stake in a regulated bank to secure FDIC approval through a written notice, adding a new layer of scrutiny on top of Federal Reserve Board oversight, which already reviews such investments.

A little-known environmental provision in the fiscal year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has no impact on military operations, but will instead serve to “protect the native vegetation,” a Navy spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement Tuesday.
The nearly $884 billion defense bill passed by the U.S. Senate Wednesday includes an initiative to “manage, control and interdict the coconut rhinoceros beetle” — an invasive species of insect that bore holes into the canopies of palm trees — “on military installations in Hawaii.” By the Navy’s own admission, the initiative’s purpose is to preserve vegetation, and thus is effectively unrelated to the Department of Defense’s (DOD) stated mission “to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation’s security.”
