Today, President Trump will participate in a Mexican Border Defense Medal award ceremony at the White House. The anticipated start time is 3:00pm ET with livestream links below.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appears on Fox News to discuss the federal investigation that is taking place into a massive welfare and subsidy scam uncovered in Minnesota. At the heart of the issue are thousands of Somali immigrants who were allowed into the U.S. and have abused various aid programs.
There are also reports indicating that 70% of the economy in the country of Somalia now comes from remittances sent by this same community, including money sent to al-Shabaab terrorist groups. The scale of the fraud is jaw-dropping as almost every financial aid program is being abused by the Somali immigrant community. WATCH:
This year Federal and state prosecutors opened multiple investigations into fraud tied to Minnesota programs being abused by the Somali community.
An investigation into “Feeding Our Future” (a child‑nutrition nonprofit) led to dozens of indictments and it got worse as officials also began investigating Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services and alleged false autism diagnoses tied to reimbursements. Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson has described the scope of the fraud as astonishing and labeled the issue a “crisis.”
President Trump announced the immediate termination of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota, citing fraud and “money laundering.” The DOJ, CMS and various cabinet agencies are also investigating various programs to determine the full scope of the financial fraud.
Meanwhile DHS and the FBI are reviewing remittance destinations to determine potential terrorist connections, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz blames President Trump for noticing the issue.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard appears on Fox News to discuss the Trump administrations’ effort to track down, capture and remove a reported 18,000 known and documented terrorists who crossed the southern border and entered the U.S. during the Biden administration.
There are several elements to this issue, and unfortunately the aspect that pertains to identifying them and locating them works to enhance the argument of those who support govt surveillance. In fact, both the use of Palantir track and trace technology in combination with the FISA-702 reauthorization come into play here.
I would argue, as I have since 2022, that one of the reasons the DC administrative state allowed the Biden regime to create this national security threat, was specifically so they could justify the creation and use of a national identity surveillance net.
Washington DC supported the creation of the borderless crisis, in part to ensure the need for their surveillance solution. This puts the efforts of DNI Gabbard into a catch-22 scenario as witnessed in the questioning before congress of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. WATCH:
.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem are trying to remove thousands of national security threats and deport millions of illegal aliens. The tools they need to track and identify those threats are the tools DC wants to retain against everyone, not just the threats.
In order to keep the pitchforks away, Washington DC has filled the haystack with needles. Gabbard (DNI), Noem (DHS) and Homan (ICE) are using metal detectors while the DC UniParty keeps operating the needle-making machinery.
Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem endorses plans for a ‘full travel ban’ on countries that are sending ‘killers, leeches and entitlement junkies’ to the United States after a meeting with President Donald Trump.
There is no haystack, it’s all needles.
Noem’s announcement comes after President Trump announced a halt to all immigration from Afghanistan, including decisions on refugee status in the wake of the terrorist attack in the nation’s capital last Wednesday.
President Trump has also vowed to ‘permanently pause migration’ from all Third World countries and has announced that immigrants who hail from 19 countries covered by his travel ban will have their cases re-examined. The countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Haiti, Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Venezuela among others.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed, “the Trump Administration will protect our people and preserve our national identity.”
Following the news that National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom had died from her injuries, President Trump was not in the mood to listen to DC media pontificate about millions of illegal aliens and refugees who have been flooded into the United States.
Sarah Beckstrom was a 20-year-old West Virginia guard member who was murdered in an ambush-style shooting near the White House on Wednesday. She had volunteered to work the Thanksgiving holiday so that service members with children could spend time with their family. Beckstrom was the BEST OF US, and President Trump is visibly angry about her murder.
Following the videoconference with members of the armed forces serving overseas, President Trump took questions from the traveling press pool. Things got heated when the sympathetic media claimed the Afghan terrorist who murdered Beckstrom was brought into the US in 2021 by Joe Biden and given legal refugee status following his work with the CIA.

Against the backdrop of two national guards being attacked by an Afghan migrant, President Trump delivers some very strong remarks on the failed immigration policy of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “This is part of the horrendous airlift from Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of people poured into our Country totally unvetted and unchecked. We will fix it but will never forget what Crooked Joe Biden and his Thugs did to our Country!
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.
The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher.
This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota.”
The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome. Law enforcement said he is believed to have acted alone. Witnesses say Lakanwal shouted, “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out his premeditated attack.
Fox’s Bill Melugin revealed that his permission the be in the US expired in September 2025, and he has been living in the United States illegally ever since. According to follow-up reports, an American couple named Stanley & Valerie Creighton took in Rahmanullah Lakanwal & his family. They all lived in their Bellingham Washington home.
Lakanwal ambushed two National Guard members outside a metro station in downtown Washington, D.C. He was shot by a third Guard member. The first victim — a female Guard member — was struck immediately and collapsed where she stood. Lakanwal then took her firearm and shot her in the head before continuing to fire. According to CBS, the suspect was wielding a handgun, had four rounds in his firearm initially. After he fired them at two national guards, he then took the fallen Guardswoman’s weapon and used it to continue shooting, striking the second Guard member.
President Trump announced a surge of another 500 National Guard troops into Washington DC, and said, “we must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden.” All Afghan immigration has been halted. All current Afghan immigrants are being investigated. WATCH:
.
VIA CBS – The Trump administration has paused the processing of all immigration applications for Afghan nationals following Wednesday’s shooting of two National Guard members, officials said, after the suspect detained in the shooting was identified as an Afghan national.
Dr Mehmet Oz is the Trump administration Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the massive federal health care bureaucracy that covers more than a third of Americans.
At least 14 states (pictured below) provide Medicaid to illegal aliens. Today Dr Oz provided some alarming information about corruption within the CMS system leading to millions of illegal aliens gaining benefits.
[Dr Oz, CMS Administrator] – “Based on our initial set of audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants. And my team is getting it back.
Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving Medicaid. Others insist it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants. And others accurately point out that hospitals can provide emergency services to illegal immigrants under the program.
We can all agree on this: rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse is essential to protecting this program for the most vulnerable. It’s also one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities.
Let me lay down the facts”:
The illegal aliens driving semi tractor trailers is becoming a serious problem. Another three people were killed in a horrific crash in California. The video is disturbing.
According to ICE they, “lodged an arrest detainer for Jashanpreet Singh, a criminal illegal alien from India, who took the lives of 3 individuals in a horrific DUI accident in San Bernadino County, California.
Singh first entered the U.S. in 2022 through the southern border and was RELEASED into the country under the Biden administration.
This tragedy follows a disturbing pattern of criminal illegal aliens driving commercial vehicles on American roads, directly threatening public safety. Under President Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE is working day-in and day-out to make America’s roads safe again. (source)
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for the Trump administration to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The 9th CCA lifted a lower court’s temporary restraining order that previously blocked the deployment. [Ruling Here]

A three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to stay a district court order that had prevented the deployment of National Guard troops to the city. The majority opinion found it was likely that the president had lawfully exercised his statutory authority.
