The ongoing shutdown is holding the safety and national security of the American people hostage.

Immigration enforcement is continuing unfettered, with CBP and ICE funded.

Congressional Democrats are using TSA, FEMA, Secret Service, USCG, CISA and other key national security agencies as pawns to score cheap political points.

Her life mattered. Stand with us and stop this madness!

Sheriff Boyd, thank you for your service and support!

DHS has nearly 1,400 signed 297(g) agreements across 40 states to secure our partnerships with state and local law enforcement. These partnerships enhance our shared enforcement capability to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities.

It is a privilege to work with great Americans like Sheriff Boyd to MAKE AMERICA SAFE.

A recent statement by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez illuminates the Marxist ideology which continues to take hold of American politicians. Here are my thoughts.

NEW: Miami Police cracked down on reckless bikers in the Eastern District this weekend. Five arrests made. We won’t tolerate endangering our community!

Chief Manny Morales

The Arizona Police Association sounded the alarm after seven officer-involved shootings across the state in one week left two DPS troopers dead and several officers injured.

Last Wednesday’s shootout in Flagstaff ended with a helicopter crash that killed a pilot and state trooper-paramedic responding to a domestic violence call.

The next day brought four separate officer-involved shootings across the Valley, including one in Phoenix that ended with a trooper shot.

Two additional shootings occurred last Tuesday, including one in Goodyear where an officer was shot after the suspect reportedly went for the officer’s gun.

Arizona Police Association president Darrell Kriplean said the violence represents a concerning trend.

An innocent American has lost their life because a criminal illegal alien attempted to evaded arrest.

Yesterday in Savannah, Georgia, ICE conducted a traffic stop to arrest Oscar Vasquez Lopez, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala. He was issued a final order of removal by a federal judge in 2024.

When Lopez fled the scene, he made a reckless U-turn and collided with a civilian’s vehicle. The civilian driver sustained fatal injuries. Lopez is now in custody and is being charged by the Chatham County Police Department with vehicular homicide.

DHS law enforcement will continue to remove illegal aliens from all states and communities. If you are here illegally, use the CBP Home app to self-deport.

Texas: The Zavala County Sheriff’s Office said it arrested a woman Sunday evening after she became aggressive and assaulted deputies during a domestic dispute call.

Deputies responded to a home on John F. Kennedy Drive near U.S. Highway 83 following reports of an unwanted subject. Upon arrival, they observed a domestic disturbance in progress and attempted to speak with 36-year-old Ashley Aguillon, authorities said.

Aguillon allegedly became highly aggressive and refused to follow deputies’ directions. While deputies tried to take her into custody, she reportedly struck them multiple times with closed fists and attempted to use a piece of furniture as a weapon.

Two deputies sustained minor injuries during the altercation and were later medically cleared to return to duty. Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery🙏🏻

Oklahoma - here is your reminder to not drive into smoke, as we’re facing fire dangers in the state this week. Trooper Travis Burgess has US 64 east of Forgan in the panhandle shut down for this fire as it crosses the highway. Be careful out there!

Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., who are responsible for the massive sewage spill in the Potomac River, must get to work, IMMEDIATELY. If they can’t do the job, they have to call me and ask, politely, to get it fixed. The Federal Government is not at all involved with what has taken place, but we can fix it. But remember, even in that case, with the Democrat Shutdown, we’ll have to bring in true Patriots to do the work because many are not working right now. These Democrat caused Disasters, both River and Shutdown, will only get worse. The two Governors and the Mayor of D.C. must act, IMMEDIATELY. This is a Radical Left caused Environmental Hazard. With all of their talk about carbon footprints and everything else, they’re allowing hundreds of tons of sewage to pour into the Mighty Potomac, making it much less mighty. ACT FAST. I am awaiting your call. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

There is a preliminary estimate of at least 30 vehicles involved, including semis and passenger vehicles. Initial reports from troopers at the scene include four confirmed fatalities. In addition, there are reports of injuries. It is unknown at this time how many people are involved or the extent of the injuries.

Northbound I-25 is closed at milepost 93. Southbound I25 is closed at milepost 94. Due to low visibility, drivers are urged to delay traveling until conditions improve.
