Prayers for the LAPD officers who were injured in the line of duty this morning. 🙏🏻

The Los Angeles Police Department is searching for three possible burglary suspects after a police pursuit ended in a crash in Tarzana.

Hats off to the men and women of U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations were not allowed to perform their national security mission for the entirety of the last administration.  Within hours of President Trump taking the oath of office you have excelled. Illegal border crossings on our southern border are down 95%.  Strong border security equates to stronger national security. We are a safer country because of your enduring service to this great nation. God bless you all for your dedication and love of country.  President Trump has unleashed thousands of patriots that will work tirelessly to make this nation safer every hour of every day.  President Trump’s vision and action on border security is unprecedented.

NEW: The Maui Police Department in Hawaii is investigating what led to a gas grill explosion at a Kaanapali Beach condo Thursday evening which left seven people injured.

The Maui Police Department, according to their statement, received reports of the explosion which took place at 2481 Kaanapali Parkway at approximately 6:15 p.m. and found seven people, from the ages 18 to 74, injured.

Three of those seven people are currently in critical condition, and one had to be transported to the Maui Memorial Medical Center Emergency Room for further treatment.

Preliminary investigations suggest the explosion may have involved liquefied petroleum gas, commonly used for BBQs and, according to KITV, witness statements indicated there could have been a grill malfunction before the incident.

Watch: NYPost's Jennie Taer on the drop in illegal migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border:

"When I was out with Border Patrol this week in the El Paso sector of the border where just a year ago about we saw that riot break out.

I saw that with my own two eyes where we had 300 angry migrants rip through the razor wire and run up to the border wall, assault our National Guard soldiers, and try to force their way into the United States. Now, that area is seeing around 90 migrants crossing each day and these are the ones that are trying to evade Border Patrol. They aren't these ones having the sense of entitlement trying to rush the border wall and getting aggressive.

These are the ones when caught, like this one migrant with saw in the span of just four hours -- we only saw one apprehension during that time in that sector while we were riding along with Border Patrol. And this was a 23-year-old migrant from Mexico named Jovani and he was crying to me because he got caught. He was even pleading with the new administration when I was recording him saying, you know, I'm supporting what Trump is doing because he's going after the bad guys. I'm not a bad guy. I don't have tattoos. This is what the ones trying to run because they know, once they are caught, they will be kicked out within 24 hours."

Katarina Rukavishnikova, the owner of Birds by Joe 2, was reportedly assisting Raymond Carey, a 53-year-old repeat customer when she looked up to see him leveling the crossbow at her before firing a bolt directly into her face. She was able to disarm him before fleeing for help.

Illinois: Cops would not be able to search cars based on the smells of burnt or raw cannabis under a proposed state law.

The bill comes after the state Supreme Court ruled last year that searches can be based on the smell of raw weed, but not burnt.

The president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) is accusing Mayor Bruce Harrell of “weaponizing public safety” by stripping collective bargaining rights from labor unions.

House Bill 1816 proposes creating civilian-staffed crisis response teams (CRTs) in areas with populations over 200,000. These teams would handle 911 calls related to mental health crises and nonviolent emergencies, allowing police to focus on other threats. The sponsor, State Rep. Shaun Scott (D-Seattle), is a police abolitionist.

Watch: In his first sit-down interview, U.S. Border Patrol chief Mike Banks told us his agency is recording an average of 285 daily illegal crossings at the southern border, a 94% drop from the same time last year.

"The morale of the Border Patrol is going up daily."

The issue comes after the officers were told to resign or face immediate dismissal because of their temporary assignments of working on programs that involved diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. We wish this judge could be fired too.
