President Trump and Sec. Noem WILL NEVER stop making America safe again.

Some updates for you regarding important changes and reforms we made at your FBI:

-The Director and I made a decision earlier this year to reorganize the FBI to both improve efficiency and accountability. Pursuant to process, those changes were signed off on and completed recently.

-The Director and I made a long series of important personnel changes. The new leadership team has produced dramatic results which we will produce for you, in detail, as the year wraps up. They will include a historic drop in the homicide rate, along with record disruptions, arrests and drug interdictions. Many of these personnel changes have upset a group of Comey-Wray era disgruntled former agents who prefer the old ways of operating. We are not going back.

-We have been working on an AI project to assist our investigators and analysts in the national security space. I received an update yesterday and I am happy to report that the product looks promising. More coming on this.

- We are in the end stages of a redesign of the FBI crisis management process. The redesign is intended to make information more accessible and transparent in a crisis to enable quick and effective decision making. The project should be complete by the end of the calendar year.

-We saved the taxpayers billions of dollars by scrapping the plan for an expensive new FBI headquarters building. We will be moving to the existing Reagan building after decades of fruitless haggling as the current FBI headquarters building crumbles.

-We relocated over a thousand headquarters based personnel out of the Washington DC area and into the field to focus on violent crime, crimes against children, and terrorism. Those agents are now working on the mission in those regional offices.

-In recognition of the growing threat, and in conjunction with the President’s Executive Order, we designed, launched and completed the FBI’s first-ever counter-drone school last month. Special thanks to Sebastian Gorka and DDCOS Regan for their help on the project.

-The work force apprehended 4 of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives, and we are hunting down the rest.

-We produced unprecedented disclosures, and took action on documents related to January 6, Crossfire Hurricane, Arctic Frost, and more.

-The new leadership team, and the work force, made a series of ANTIFA related arrests in multiple states and assisted in record numbers of deportations and apprehensions.

-Some of the culture changes we implemented include eliminating DEI, reforming the physical fitness test, making promotions contingent on real world results, severing ties with the SPLC and ADL, and implementing a new training curriculum to reflect current mission requirements.

-We dedicated significant personnel and financial assets to streamlining FOIA reform to ensure responsiveness.

-We shut down multiple open air drug markets nationwide and, in conjunction with the White House, had 12 fentanyl precursors from China listed.

-We created CIO and CTO positions to work with the CFO to find efficiencies and implement new technologies to assist in our mission. We conduct bi-weekly meetings and we have found and eliminated tens of millions of dollars in duplicative contracts, unnecessary real estate, and outdated technology. These are real savings to the taxpayer and each budget dollar allocated is intensely scrutinized for value.

-We vastly expanded the overseas biometrics program to stop bad actors before they board a plane or vessel to the US. This gives us the ability to expand the border outwards and prevent the problems from coming here.

-We are in the end stages of a reform project on our intelligence analysis positions to make them more responsive to current mission needs. We have been working with the field on this and we’re happy with the progress.

-We implemented a technology working group to ensure our technology tools evolve with the mission.

Thank you, and God bless America and all those who defend Her. 🇺🇸

Governor Newsom is REFUSING to honor the ICE detainer for an illegal alien who killed an 11-year-old boy.

Hector Balderas-Aheelor was previously removed FOUR times before he illegally re-entered the country and killed an 11-year-old boy in a hit-and-run. On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, 11-year-old Aiden Antonio Torres De Paz was attempting to retrieve a soccer ball outside of his residence in Escondido, California, when he was run over by a vehicle. Aiden died from his injuries the following day on Thanksgiving morning.

When will Governor Newsom stop releasing criminals into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk?

FRAUD FALLOUT: GOP Majority Whip Tom Emmer demands accountability from Minnesota Governor Walz as a massive fraud scandal roils his state.

"Tim Walz has done nothing. Tim Walz has not held one person in his administration accountable for a billion dollars of fraud... It stinks to high heaven."

Another one down. Illegal alien Rafael Lizarraga-Moralia, 59, stacked up felony theft, two forgeries, DUIs & criminal-driving raps in CA & OR. ICEgov's ERO Seattle  ended his run on 12/1. He now waits for removal.

Connecticut: The female officer was attacked in what union officials say was an attempted sexual assault by an inmate.

During security check, an inmate began choking and punching the officer in the face without being provoked or warned.

Staff members immediately responded to the incident and restrained the inmate, who was transported to the MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution’s Restrictive Housing Unit.

The attack was an attempted sexual assault of the officer by an inmate serving 20 years for other sexually-related crimes, according to AFSCME Local 391, the union that represents correction officers.

In a news release from the union, they said it happened in the industries area and that the inmate dragged the officer into a camera "dead-zone," where security cameras can't see.

Union officials said the officer sustained a fractured eye socket, as well as scrapes and bruises on her upper body and face.

The officer was taken to the hospital, where she was treated and released, The Department of Correction said.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for her recovery🙏🏻

Deputy Caffey stepped in last night when an injured red shouldered hawk was found struggling, giving it the help it needed and making sure it could be safely cared for. Moments like this remind us that protecting our community goes far beyond people.

The Kansas Highway Patrol is warning drivers to slow down as road conditions deteriorate due to wintry weather conditions.

The warning comes after a trooper was struck in his patrol vehicle on Monday.

The accident happened on I-435 in northeast Kansas, where the trooper was working a crash. The KHP said the trooper was in his patrol car, parked on the right shoulder with emergency lights on, when it was struck by a passing vehicle.

“Slow down and move over for flashing lights, every single time!” said the Kansas Highway Patrol Troop A.

“This could have ended much worse. Do your part, slow down and move over. Give first responders the space they need to stay safe.”

The trooper only suffered minor injuries. Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery🙏🏻
