Summary

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says they have arrested nearly as many illegal migrants in President Trump's first 50 days as in all fiscal year 2024 under President Biden. Former ICE Special Agent Victor Avila, explains why immigration enforcement has rapidly surged under Trump, clarifies misconceptions about detention and deportation, and assesses whether new strategies, including self-deportation apps, could effectively manage the immigration backlog. Meanwhile, the U.S. military is facing severe readiness issues, highlighted this week at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Military leaders reported critical shortfalls in amphibious warships, unmanned systems, and ammunition supplies. Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation Brent Sadler explains how years of budget uncertainty have allowed China and Russia to catch up, if not pull ahead, and emphasizes the urgency to rebuild America's industrial base, and lays out what can still be done to restore deterrence.
