President Donald Trump is swiftly moving forward with his pledge to end the nation’s illegal immigration crisis by rolling out plans to deploy additional active-duty troops to the southern border, according to reports.A United States official revealed to Fox News on Wednesday that the Trump administration’s Pentagon is preparing to disperse 1,500 troops to various locations along the U.S.-Mexico border. 'We will detect, deter, and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border.'It is not immediately clear which units will be sent or where they will be stationed. However, the administration is expected to release a formal announcement on Wednesday evening, according to the news outlet.The U.S. official told Fox News that the additional troops will arrive by the end of the January.In May 2023, former President Joe Biden stationed 2,500 military personnel at the southern border. Those troops will remain there until the end of fiscal year 2025, the news outlet reported.Military personnel are not tasked with direct immigration enforcement. Instead, they provide Customs and Border Protection and other agencies with other support, including detection and monitoring, logistics, administrative, and mechanical.Trump has also moved to secure the nation’s shorelines from potential maritime mass migration. Adm. Kevin Lunday, the Coast Guard’s acting commandant, released a statement on Tuesday announcing “immediate action in support of” Trump’s presidential executive orders.“The U.S. Coast Guard is the world’s premiere maritime law enforcement agency, vital to protecting America’s maritime borders, territorial integrity and sovereignty,” Lunday said. “Per the president’s executive orders, I have directed my operational commanders to immediately surge assets — cutters, aircraft, boats, and deployable specialized forces — to increase Coast Guard presence and focus starting with the following key areas.”Lunday explained that the Coast Guard’s presence has been increased in “the southeast U.S. border approaching Florida to deter and prevent a maritime mass migration from Haiti and/or Cuba.”It has also enhanced its presence around Alaska, Hawaii, and several U.S. territories.Additionally, the Coast Guard is protecting the areas between the south of Florida and the Bahamas, the U.S. and Mexico in the Pacific, Texas and Mexico in the Gulf of America, and “maritime portions of the southwest U.S. border.”“Together, in coordination with our Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense teammates, we will detect, deter, and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling, and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border,” the Coast Guard stated.Like Blaze News?

A male athlete is making headlines for the second straight January after breaking more women's college track records.Camden Schreiner, who goes by "Sadie," set facility records at Brockport’s Rust Buster, a track and field event in New York where multiple universities compete, such as Roberts Wesleyan University and Schreiner's Rochester Institute of Technology.The junior sprinter set records by winning the women's 200-meter dash in 24.50 seconds and the women's 400-meter dash in 55.91 seconds. The times were also program records, according to RIT."He is currently ranked #1 in DIII women’s 200 & 400 meter dashes," said Ashley Keleher, former track star at Colby-Sawyer College. The Division III times were also announced by RIT, which later named Schreiner female athlete of the week while boasting the achievements. "Please stop this nonsense," Keleher added. Keleher, a woman who broke at least four track records herself in 2021-2022, later posted video of Schreiner's performance and said she "can’t wait" for stories like this to stop.On Schreiner's social media page, he wrote, "starting the season off right where I left off," followed by hearts and a transgender flag."The times will only get faster from here," he added.

Former Division I swimmer Riley Gaines said at the time that "women's records mean nothing if they're set by men."Olympic marathon runner Mara Yamauchi shared the footage of Schreiner and said the purpose of women's sports is not to entertain men's feelings."Same as in parkrun - males stealing female records which will probably be out of female hands forever. All for what? To indulge men's feelings," she wrote,Schreiner has been celebrated for crushing female athletes and was rewarded with professional photo shoots by the Washington Post and full support from RIT and its head track coach, David Warth.Schreiner's school bio also notes he is a two-time All-American, is an Atlantic Region Outdoor Champion, and has set at least five program records in outdoor/indoor running.Like Blaze News?

I trust Mr. Trump’s executive order is part of a longer play to restore teeth to U.S.-China policy after four years of President Biden’s kowtowing. But it's critical President Trump not get caught up in a protracted cat-and-mouse game with Beijing, lest the U.S. come out losing.
