What are the latest statistics on terrorist arrests?

Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 0:56
illegally in 2022 and evaded capture until last week when ICE agents tracked him down in Sacramento.

A battle is brewing in Southern California to keep an illegal immigrant and convicted killer behind bars. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.
Tim Pierce 1:12
Back in 2021, Oscar Ortega Anguiano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was severely under the influence when he crashed into a car carrying two 19-year-olds at nearly 100 miles per hour. Both teens died in the crash. Ortega Anguiano was sentenced to 10 years for gross vehicular manslaughter, but could be released over six years early.

What is the controversy surrounding an illegal immigrant's early release?

Tim Pierce 1:32
ICE has issued a detainer for his arrest, but California's sanctuary policies could stand in the way of enforcement. Ortega Anguiano has already been deported twice and returned illegally. Now, families of the victims are urging the state to stop his early release, calling it a slap in the face and a threat to public safety. They wrote a letter to the state asking for Ortega Anguiano to serve his full sentence. It's confusing to me.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 1:54
Why you give them 10 if they're going to spend 5 and then 3? Two young productive American citizens killed for nothing and that illegal immigrant who already has been deported twice is going to be released again?
Tim Pierce 2:11
Meanwhile, Border Czar Tom Homan has promised to deport him.
Tom Homan 2:15
He's been deported several times. He's a felon. Reentry to the country of diploma deportation is a felony. We will prosecute him and we will deport him. I'll make that commitment. I'll work with Secretary Ngo to make sure that happens.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 2:26
President Trump has ordered more troops to the Middle East in response to the ongoing attacks from the Houthis in Yemen.
Cabot Phillips 2:32
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the latest. The president confirmed in a letter to Congress that U.S. Central Command has already launched large-scale strikes on Houthi leadership, weapons depots, and command centers. He said these operations will continue until the threat is neutralized.

What actions has President Trump taken against the Houthis?

Cabot Phillips 2:47
The additional forces include air and missile defense systems, fighter jets, bombers, and reconnaissance aircraft. They're aimed at protecting U.S. troops and allies like Israel and will enable precision strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. The president cited multiple attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on commercial vessels and U.S. forces in the Red Sea.
Georgia Howe 3:05
President Donald Trump warned Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that he has a choice, peace or prolong a losing war. On Truth Social, Trump criticized Zelensky's rejection of a proposed peace plan that would leave Crimea under Russian control, calling the stance very harmful to ongoing negotiations.

How is the U.S. responding to attacks from the Houthis?

Georgia Howe 3:23
Trump argued that Crimea was lost during the Obama administration and questioned why Ukraine didn't resist the annexation back in 2014. His remarks come as diplomats meet in London to discuss potential paths forward to ending the war, now entering its third year.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 3:39
Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's number two Democrat, announced that he won't seek reelection in 2026. The 80-year-old, who was first elected in 1996, said in a video post to Twitter that it's time to, quote, pass the torch.
