Investigators continue to piece together a troubling sequence of errors that led to the deadly collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a passenger jet. Early findings suggest the helicopter was flying at least 100 feet higher than it should have and a half mile off course when it collided with the jet. Compounding the danger, the air traffic controller on duty was handling both helicopter and airplane traffic simultaneously. That's a workload typically shared by two controllers. Near misses at Reagan have been an escalating concern. In April, a commercial pilot warned that a military helicopter came dangerously close to his jet while landing, saying, quote, "...I cannot imagine what business is so pressing that these helicopters are allowed to cross the path of airliners carrying hundreds of people."
A decade earlier, another pilot wrote that helicopter crossings near the runway posed an unacceptable risk to passenger aircraft. Despite years of warnings, congestion at Reagan has only increased.
Boston University will shut down the Center for Anti-Racist Research, founded by Ibram Kendi. Kendi's Boston Center received millions of dollars in funding, but faced scrutiny over financial mismanagement and limited output, leading to staff layoffs. The center failed to deliver on its promises with little published research and key initiatives left stagnant. Kendi, who has profited significantly from so-called anti-racist speaking engagements, will open a new institute at Howard University that will focus on global racial issues, technology, and climate change.
Mexico is scrambling to accept migrants deported by the Trump administration from the US. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce has the story.
Officials in Mexico are scrambling to set up shelters and support systems for the 4,000 deportees returning from the US. President Claudia Scheinbaum is pledging financial aid to help them return home. At the same time, Mexico is hosting hundreds of thousands of non-Mexican migrants who are seeking asylum in the U.S. after the Trump administration ended the CBP One app, which was used to schedule asylum appointments. Now those migrants are no longer allowed to enter the U.S. before their asylum case is heard. Mexican officials say they plan to send non-Mexican nationals back to their home countries. Illegal border crossings into the U.S. have dropped sharply since Trump took office.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt says Trump would certainly back legislation from Congress to bar trans procedures on minors and investigate doctors who perform these surgeries. She made the remark in response to a question from Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan. Here's the exchange.
We know that President Trump has taken a bunch of steps to protect children from irreversible transgender procedures. Is he interested in backing congressional legislation on this point? Well, the president has already taken a very strong stance on this issue this week with the signing of his executive order, a few executive orders in this space. Certainly the president would support Congress's efforts as he has already made that very clear this week.
President Trump won a big legal victory over Meta. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has the settlement details.
