What is Operation Metro Surge and what are its results?
Tom Homan wraps up Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota. More details emerge on the trans-identifying shooter in Canada. And Attorney General Pam Bondi defends her department's handling of Epstein evidence. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, February 12th. This is Evening Wire.
Who is the trans-identifying shooter in Canada and what happened?
The end is near for the Trump administration's Operation Metro surge in Minnesota. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Ter has the story.
White House border czar Tom Hellman announced at a Thursday press conference that many of the thousands of ICE and Border Patrol personnel sent to the Twin Cities from other areas of the country will soon return to their home offices. Federal authorities made nearly 4,000 arrests during the operation.
What evidence did Attorney General Pam Bondi present regarding the Epstein investigation?
Homan said the operation has been successful, which led to a significant drop in criminal illegal immigrants roaming the streets. Quote, unprecedented levels of coordination from local officials and a decrease in anti-ice agitator activity. Federal authorities also tracked 3,364 missing migrant children who previously crossed the border alone. Homan also pushed back on reports claiming that ICE is, quote, backing down.
You are simply wrong. Look at the data. Record number of arrests and deportations. And we'll continue that effort. More details have emerged about the trans-identifying Canadian high school dropout who killed eight people and injured dozens in British Columbia on Tuesday. Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has more. Old images of the shooter have resurfaced online.
What were the outcomes of the Trump administration's immigration operations?
One eerie picture shows the shooter sitting on a couch, smiling while holding a rifle. Another shows the gunman sitting on a couch next to a much younger boy. The gunman killed eight people on Tuesday, including his mother and 11-year-old stepbrother, before apparently taking his own life. An initial active shooter alert described him as, quote, a female in a dress as he gunned down victims at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Authorities later described the attacker as a gun person and clarified that the shooter was a man who identified as transgender. More developments in the Nancy Guthrie search today. Here with the latest is Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake.
Investigators returned to Nancy Guthrie's home Thursday. This time, they put up a tent in front of her front door. There could be a lot of things going on behind the tent, but we do know that's where Nancy's blood was found and that's where the ring doorbell footage the FBI released came from. The tent was up for about an hour and then investigators left. Something else is happening right now. Pima County Sheriff is looking for footage from neighbors who live within a two-mile radius from Nancy from January 1st to February 2nd. There are still no identified suspects in this case, and there's not a press briefing, meaning Pima County has gone more than a week without giving a press briefing for updates on this case.
The tip line for anything suspicious or any known facts about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is 1-800-CALL-FBI.
President Trump has directed the Department of War to purchase electricity generated from coal power plants. The president's executive order, titled Strengthening United States National Defense with America's Beautiful Clean Coal Power Generation Fleet, aims to shore up the U.S. power grid. It also makes use of America's plentiful coal resources. The order comes after the Biden administration focused on supporting unreliable sources like solar and wind. At a signing ceremony at the White House, Trump sang the praises of coal.
Clean, beautiful call. Clean, beautiful call. We love clean, beautiful call, don't we, Doug?
The Pentagon has directed a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare for deployment to the Middle East. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has more.
A second carrier group would dramatically boost an already formidable naval presence in the region. This marks a significant escalation in military readiness as the Trump administration weighs potential strikes against Iran.
