The Republican-led House passed legislation blocking future presidents from unilaterally banning the drilling of oil and gas. Lawmakers on Friday passed the “Protecting American Energy Production Act.” BREAKING: House passes bill blocking future presidents from banning oil drilling without Congress' approvalhttps://t.co/je1Bi3VCND — Fox News (@FoxNews) February 7, 2025 Fox News reports: There were 118 Democrats who voted against the legislation, while Republican House members unanimously voted in favor of its passage. The bill comes after former President Joe Biden enacted several regulations on oil and gas during his term, including banning future oil and gas drilling along 625 million acres of coastal and offshore waters just weeks before he left office. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, the Republican who introduced the bill, said concerns over potential fracking bans during the Biden administration was what prompted the legislation. “When President Biden took office, his administration took a ‘whole of government’ approach to wage war on American energy production, pandering to woke environmental extremists and crippling this thriving industry,” Pfluger said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “My legislation that passed today is a necessary first step in reversing Biden’s war on energy by preventing the federal government from banning the use of hydraulic fracturing,” he said. “The Biden Admin’s radical green agenda has shattered U.S. energy independence, sending costs soaring and making us dependent on foreign oil,” Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) said. “That’s why House Republicans passed The Protecting American Energy Production Act—no president should be able to unilaterally ban fracking. This bill safeguards jobs, lowers prices, and strengthens national security,” he added.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency and called for the “unleashing” of American energy. His now-confirmed pick for Energy secretary, Chris Wright, is the founder of fracking company Liberty Energy. Wright has pledged to enact Trump and Republicans’ plan to ramp up domestic gas and oil production and make the U.S. energy independent again. “Today’s passage of the Protecting American Energy Production Act helps restore American energy dominance and protects the jobs of hardworking men and women,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson. “This bill ensures fracking will remain an essential tool in our nation’s energy production, allowing us to harness regions like the Permian Basin rather than turning to foreign adversaries for our energy needs, and helping to fully unleash America’s energy potential,” he added. Led by production in the Permian Basin, Texas crude oil production set new records in six of the past 12 months in 2024, The Center Square reported. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, recently introduced a bill to repeal Biden-era executive orders that ban offshore oil drilling.

The Pentagon will deploy an additional 1,500 active duty U.S. troops to the southern border to boost support for President Trump’s effort to curb illegal immigration. The addition would bring the total number of troops at the southern border to around 3,600.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deployment has not yet been publicly announced. The Pentagon has been scrambling to put in motion Trump’s executive orders signed shortly after he took office on Jan. 20. The first group of 1,600 active duty troops has already deployed to the border, and close to 500 more soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division are expected to begin moving in the coming days. About 500 Marines also have been told to go to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where some of the detained migrants will be held. Several hundred Marines have already arrived there. Troops going to the border are expected to help put in place concertina wire barriers and provide needed transportation, intelligence and other support to the Border Patrol. The logistics brigade will help support and sustain the troops.

These criminals trampled over our previously wide open border to bring violence and mayhem to our communities. President Trump has taken swift action to expel them immediately from our county, and our nation’s finest are helping lead the way in this critical mission,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said.

There, they joined personnel from U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Army South, bringing the total number of service members deployed to the base for the migrant holding operation to 150. The Marines and soldiers will provide support for a White House plan to deport immigrants lacking permanent legal status from the United States and detain them at the base. This comes as part of a sweeping effort by President Donald Trump, announced Jan. 29, to use Guantanamo as a holding ground for “high-priority criminal aliens.” Trump said he was directing an expansion of a detention center on the naval base to hold up to 30,000 migrants. “This memorandum is issued in order to halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty,” reads the White House memorandum that directed the expansion of such a facility. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a Jan. 31 interview on Fox News that the U.S. military would “be a key element of expulsions and mass deportations.”
