She went on to specify that on Christmas Eve and Christmas, the officers arrested, quote, gang members, murderers, drug traffickers, and violent thugs.

Now, among those was a Mexican national who crossed the border illegally and was convicted for criminal homicide, third degree murder, and criminal conspiracy to commit criminal homicide in Pennsylvania.

Another, an individual from Cuba, was convicted for homicide and drug trafficking in Florida.

A Somali national was also arrested.

He was convicted in New York for a laundry list of crimes, including a DUI and possessing a stolen vehicle.

That's right.

The Center Square recently reported that there were 238 assaults on ICE officers from January 21st of last year through November.

The previous year, there were just 19 in the same period.

So that's a stunning 1,153% increase in assaults on ICE.

Thank you.

Yeah, this month's inflation report took on even more importance as it was the first one that we've received since back in September.

The October report was lost to the federal shutdown.

So economists had originally predicted that inflation would rise month over month by 3.1%, but numbers were released yesterday and it actually came in at 2.7%, so considerably lower.

Now, that 0.4% discrepancy doesn't sound like much, but in economic terms, that is huge.

For context, inflation peaked at 9% in 2022 under President Biden.

So we have come a long way now.

And the numbers get even better when you look at core inflation, or CPI.

That is the metric most closely watched by economists because it strips out prices on volatile things like food and gas.

And last month, CPI was all the way down at 2.6%.

That is the lowest it's been since March of 2021.
