Charles who ascended the throne in 2022 was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate last month after experiencing undisclosed symptoms former president Donald Trump has named several contenders for his running mate and future cabinet president Trump is seen by many as the likely Republican nominee with back-to-back wins in Iowa and New Hampshire where he won by single sorry double digit margins Trump said during a recent interview on Fox that he won't announce his running mate for a while but named potential candidates Senator Rick Scott of South Carolina and South Dakota governor Christy gnome when asked about how he's evaluating them he said simply who would be a good president Trump also addressed who might be in his future cabinet those include returning faces former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and former head of the Department of Housing in Urban Development Ben Carson Trump also said he's confident that Democrats in New York will vote for him over the sole issue of illegal immigration New York has changed a lot in the last two years we have migrants all over the street they're living on Madison Avenue I mean they it's nobody can believe what's happened to New York the people of New York are angry people that would have never voted for me because I'm a republican I mean they're Democrats their parents were they vote for Democrats I think they're going to vote and New York the most populous city in the United States has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 illegal immigrants over this past year now officials in New York City are planning to hand out prepaid debit cards to illegal immigrants Sheltering at hotels a pilot program will be run on 500 Families First the cards can only be used at grocery and convenience stores and are meant for Food hygiene products and baby supplies City Records show the $53 million program partners with New Jersey Mobility Capital Finance parents staying short-term at The Roosevelt Hotel will get the pilot cards to replace the hotel's Food Service program the cards are refilled each month with an amount based on family size and income the amount is close to what's provided in the state's food stamp program applicants need to sign an affidavit promising to spend the money only on exclusive items or lose access to the program if the pilot is successful cards will be given to all illegal immigrants Sheltering at city hotels roughly 15,000 people City Hall officials are touting the program as a more costeffective way for the families to get food and baby supplies compared to the current system of providing non-p perishable food boxes 13 Governors joined Texas governor Greg Abbott in Eagle Pass yesterday as a show of support nd's Kelly Wright brings us more from from the southern border I'm Kelly Ry in Del Rio Texas along the southern border between Texas and Mexico in fact to my left just yards away from me is the country of Mexico you can see that they're fencing all the way down the borderline and over my shoulder this tall tall structure here that is the original wall that the former president of the United States Donald Trump wanted erected all along the border now what's happening here today is the fact that so many illegal immigrants have crossed into America through the southern border to be exact Governor Greg Abbott the governor of Texas states that 10 million illegal immigrants came across into America just this past year now he along with 14 other Republican Governors gathered an Eagle pass not far from here at the border there along Mexico to State very clearly that they want something done about it they sent a message to President Joe Biden saying enough is enough something must be done it's time for the president they say to act to close the open border and we are here to send a loud and clear message that we are banding together to fight to ensure that we will be able to maintain our constitutional guarantee that states will be able to defend against any type of imminent danger or an invasion there's extraordinary danger imminent danger crossing our border all the time I mean the federal government's role uh under the Constitution is to protect our borders right and if they fail to protect the borders then states are obligated to step into that particular breach uh none of this would have to happen if the federal government would simply enforce the laws that are already on the books still the greatest country on the face of the world and we need to be thankful for that but we also have a responsibility to protect it because I want my kids and every kid growing up in this country to get to have the same America that we're growing up in right now but we're going to have to fight for it and protect it if that's what we want to pass down and back live now you can see that the governor of the state of Texas is quite concerned along with the 14 other Republican Governors who came here to stand in solidarity with him all of them agree that something must be done and many people that I spoke to here they agree as well in fact some of the people living in Del Rio and Eagle Pass have explained to me that they believe that the federal government has failed them has let them down in protecting them from illegal immigrants who have come into this country and caus them to lose their livelihood uh ranchers for example talking about they lost their livestock and just average citizens feeling that they can't walk freely through their own neighborhoods anymore because of the dangers or the perils that exist from the threatening issues involving illegal drug trafficking as well as human trafficking and child trafficking it's quite a a mess here and the only way to clean up this mess is for Congress and state governments as well as the federal government to do something the citizens want something done they're actually clamoring for some action for some change to cut down on the legal immigration issue reporting from Del Rio Texas along the Mexico border I'm Kelly Wright back to you vehicle Convoy from Virginia to Texas concluded over the weekend attendees United in opposing the record numbers of illegal immigration earlier I spoke with Robert AG the co-organizer of the take our border back Convoy about this growing Movement we must have Law and Order in this country um I believe I believe God is a as as a god of of borders and of Law and of order and and there's reasons for that you know there's when we have an open border policy where we just let any anybody come across that's unvetted child trafficking runs rampid the stories from that I I I can't even get into it's it's U it's atrocious uh the the amount of drugs Fentanyl and other substances coming across our border into our nation killing our children and our loved ones uh that's what happens when you have a unvetted open border policy and you have other Bad actors that are sneaking in here that are wanting to do harm you know we're a country of of immigrants we love immigrants people from all countries uh but you know there has to be a process and the same reason why we lock our doors at our home and vet who comes into our house uh that's that's such an important thing and we're holding our you know elected officials those who we hired accountable to uphold our constitutional rights and the sentiment among the uh attendees at the rally were um for president Trump there were Flags uh for Trump now this sort of record illegal immigration wasn't occurring under Trump do they think that he's the potential solution to this problem well I believe so you know he's been very vocal about his stance on the border uh border issues uh he's supported Governor Greg Abbott and the decisions that they've made recently to you know enact article one uh section 10 you know Clause clause three uh um allowing the states to take its safety into its own hands because article 4 section 4 is not been upheld by our federal government and you know we we we we see Trump I'm supporting that and you know again he's been very vocal about that and that's me he's the one that wanted to build a wall in the first place um not to stop immigration but to stop the bad actors the child trafficking the drugs and and and those that that want to do harm as far as the common sentiment among all of the rally goers this weekend what was their take on illegal immigration and the negative impacts from that yeah well I mean I think everybody feels the same you know the reason why we were down at corner Stone Children's Ranch is because you know if the illegals were coming across and raiding their food pantry I mean this is a ranch that's trying to help children that are in need they're trying to help widowed women women and and others and they can't function when they constantly have this threat and so you know people were were so so excited to be there to support uh this Children's Ranch and to support those uh congressional candidates that are that are running for office now we know who we can trust and we know who we can vote for um that that are that are men and Women of Faith and that are going to do the right thing and they're going to stand up with the boldness and courage of of David and so it was uh you know these folks left there very encouraged feeling like what took place this weekend was worth worth uh every moment of their time and expense to be a part of that was Robert AG the co-organizer of the take our boardback Convoy and the US Senate yesterday unveiled a nearly $120 billion bipartisan border security bill the bill would also provide Aid to Ukraine and Israel nd's Daniel Monahan has more on this legislation that's already facing opposition from the House of Representatives President Biden called on Congress to unite and swiftly passed the Border agreement but house Speaker Mike Johnson declared it Dead on Arrival if it reaches his chamber Johnson wrote on X that this bill is even worse than we expected and won't come close to ending the Border catastrophe the president has created the house Speaker addressed the border on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday the American people are done with this the Border has to be secured the president has the authority right now he doesn't need another AC of Congress the bill would provide about $2 billion for border security around $60 billion for Ukraine about $14 billion for Israel and10 billion in humanitarian assistance for civilians in Conflict zones including in Ukraine Gaza and the West Bank Sen Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would take steps to hold an initial vote on the bill on Wednesday the Bill's proponent said it would end the controversial Catch and Release practice that critics say contribute to high numbers of illegal immigrants arriving at the southern border it would do so by speeding up rulings on Asylum cases instead of quickly releasing apprehended illegal migrants and allowing them to stay in the United States for years while they await hearings some Republicans are skeptical of the new Senate Bill House Majority Leader Steve scales wrote on X that here's what the people pushing this deal aren't telling you it accepts 5,000 illegal immigrants a day and gives automatic work permits to Asylum recipients a magnet for more illegal immigration once the number of encounters reaches 5,000 expulsions would automatically take effect immigration is the second largest concern for Americans according to a Reuters ipsos poll published last week Daniel Monahan NTD news members from both chambers of Congress are seeking answers over illegal marijuana growing operations and their alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party aaked 2023 Memo from the Department of Homeland Security shows that over 270 suspected illegal marijuana growing operations in Maine that were linked to the Chinese regime were possibly generating billions in Revenue the partisan group sent a letter to the AG Merck Garland last week expressing their concerns they want to know how many marijuana Farms are being allegedly run by Chinese Nationals especially those with

back in France despite minimal support from politicians some politicians party leaders and members of parliament are calling to leave the EU but they are finding more support after the farm protests they argue that member states have no power to renegotiate EU treaties and despite promises from the French government nothing will change for the farmers nd's France correspondent David viz has the story while the majority of French farmers are returning to work and clearing blockades on France's highways some remain to deliver a message for Alexander Pat farmers will have more opportunities to protest this year if the government does nothing today they remember it at the European elections then there are the Olympic Games I think farmers are still ready to mobilize during the Olympic Games in Paris hundreds of protesters this weekend have attended a demonstration near the FL Tower at the call of the political group Le Patriot they're calling for the French government to leave the European Union or fit their slogan fit is similar to brexit named after the British leaving the EU one of the reasons of protest in many EU countries are the cheap Imports due to free trade agreements and overwhelming regulations both of these issues find their Roots decisions made in Brussels for policy analyst Shon galwa there is no way for any member state to deviate or renegotiate the treaties signed by the EU commission but in any case we are not going to change the current treaties and you be lying to people to make them believe that because the current treaties are already the prize of 60 years of compromises that nobody he can or wants to go back home French president Emanuel macron said he wouldn't signed the latest Free Trade Agreement mercosur as it is now written in order to ease the farmers protest but in the end galwa says the EU will move on with that treaty anyway MC is trying to gain time even on the mursa agreement so what's actually going to happen they'll wait until after the European elections then he'll certainly get some cosmetic concessions and he'll end up signing party leader floran filipo tore down the EU flag at the protest for 40 years they've been setting the idea at every European election that they are going to change Europe but they never change Europe it can't be changed it can't be reformed it's less and less reformable we just have to get out and destroy it before it destroys us for good leaving the EU isn't on the agenda of any Parliament group but the ID seems to find more supporters after the farmers protests a poll published last week shows 39% of French believe the EU treaties are responsible for the farmers protests David vs ND news Paris back in the US the parent company of Snapchat is cutting roughly 500 jobs according to
