U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions along the Mexican border fell to their lowest annual level since 1968 as President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown accelerated a decline that began under former President Joe Biden, according to Department of Homeland Security data released Friday.
Federal agents recorded 98,708 apprehensions of people crossing between ports of entry during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, down from more than 2 million annually in 2022 and 2023, reports The Financial Times on Friday.
"The results could not be clearer: strong enforcement works," Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

President Donald Trump urged Republicans at a northern Kentucky rally Saturday to treat the midterm elections as a referendum on his presidency, warning that Democratic victories could reverse his administration's accomplishments.
Speaking in Highland Heights, Kentucky, located near Cincinnati, Trump promoted Republican Senate candidates, touted his economic record, and predicted the military campaign against Iran would end soon.
"In this election, I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot," Trump told supporters at the rally, shown live on Newsmax.
"This is the most important midterm in the history of our country because we've gotten more things done and they can undo them," he added.

Dick Morris to Newsmax: 'Republicans Are Catching Up' in Key Senate Races
By James Morley III | Saturday, 17 October 2026 04:50 PM EDT
Political strategist and presidential adviser Dick Morris said Saturday on Newsmax's "Saturday Report" that Republicans are gaining momentum in key Senate races ahead of the midterm elections, predicting the GOP will retain control of the chamber and could also hold the House.
"Well, I think they are," Morris said when asked whether Republicans were gaining momentum.
"I came on this show, I think, two weeks ago and said that in the nine key Senate races, the Democrats were winning in eight of them. Now they're winning in four of them. And the Republicans are winning in four."

The Trump administration banned unauthorized drone activity along the U.S.–Mexico border on Oct. 16 to increase airspace security as it cracks down on drug cartel drone operations.
The ban, established through a temporary flight restriction for drones, was announced in a joint statement by the Department of War, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Transportation. Friday’s announcement comes as U.S. officials have warned that the United States faces thousands of drone incursions at the southern border each month.
The new temporary flight restriction took effect Friday and prohibits any unauthorized drones from operating up to 400 feet above ground level. The restriction extends one nautical mile north of the U.S.–Mexico border.

Two races that voters in Georgia must decide this midterm cycle are the most consequential: the Senate and governor tickets.

DALTON, Ga.—President Donald Trump, aboard Marine One, flew directly over hundreds of supporters gathered for his rally on Friday at the Dalton Municipal Airport in northwest Georgia.
“U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!” the crowd cheered during the president’s arrival and periodically throughout his speech.
Between highlighting accomplishments during his second term in the White House, criticizing Democratic candidates in midterm races across the country, and waiting for security to throw out a few protesters, Trump praised the Republican candidates in the Peach State’s elections this year.

Military conflicts and potential hostilities have some American voters concerned about the future.
A reader survey found that many are concerned about the state of the Middle East conflict as midterm elections are just a couple of weeks away.
While readers are worried about conflict overseas, they also believe that warding off threats from nations such as Iran and China is best for the long-term safety of the United States.

By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Wednesday, October 14, 2026
NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
The arrest of a suspected Chinese agent in southern California highlights how China’s Ministry of State Security conducts covert surveillance of political opponents, according to a former counterintelligence official.
Nick Eftimiades, a former CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and State Department specialist on Chinese intelligence, said the operation by alleged Chinese agent Zhang Wanying and a second agent at the home of the son of Taiwan’s president in Washington state showed key elements of MSS spy tradecraft.
Ms. Zhang, also known as Heather, was arrested by FBI agents Oct. 4 as she was preparing to board a flight to Shanghai. She was charged with acting as an unregistered agent for China and is now in jail pending a trial.

Katie Zacharia Out as Press Secretary, White House Confirms

A White House official on Friday told The Epoch Times that new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has left her position about a week after she was named.
The White House also shared an X post from a Fox News reporter saying she is transitioning away from the position.
President Donald Trump on Friday said he offered Zacharia the option to reconsider taking the job after she was “treated very badly” in the media.
“I said to Katie just two minutes ago: ‘You don’t have to do this,’” he told reporters at the White House on Friday.
She has been treated “very nastily” by media outlets, Trump said, citing two interviews she had with Fox News, including one with host Sean Hannity in recent days. “Katie has been treated very badly by the media. Very, very badly. Very unfairly,” he said.

If the Schools Don’t Improve, Nothing Else Will

Commentary
As we head toward the midterms, and as we look back to November 2024, it is interesting to note that the issue of education is rarely a topic of partisan debate or campaign promises. In 2000, education was on the minds of many in office, and it resulted in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Gov. Ron DeSantis made the elimination of Common Core a centerpiece of his first term, and he also made identity politics in the schools a high-profile target. But in this election season, education is an afterthought.
The quiet is strange, for the sad and simple truth is that American kids are graduating from high school with low skills and knowledge and with poor academic habits. Grades are high, to be sure, but standardized test scores keep falling. The discrepancy indicates that a lot of teachers and schools have given up on meaningful evaluation of performance. Fewer complete books are assigned, and fewer than that are actually read. Knowledge of history, civics, art, and literature is abysmal. Even those high school grads who get accepted to competitive schools such as Harvard and University of California-San Diego sometimes end up needing remedial math instruction.
For decades, educators have concocted theories and practices to get more out of the kids. Readers my age may remember the “open classrooms” layout, where different classes met in large areas in a school building, each class a few years apart with no barriers between them. The set-up was based on the notion that walls were uncomfortable for kids and hampered their learning. The experiment didn’t last.
Then there was the self-esteem movement, which said that kids would learn more if they felt better about themselves. Go light on correction, teachers were told, and ease up on criticism. It was a nice thought, but one with no empirical backing.
The accountability movement, which started in the 1980s, shifted attention away from kids and onto those responsible for educating them. Regular testing, it said, would weed out incompetent instructors, bogus curricula, and dysfunctional schools. To some extent, it succeeded in doing that, but the slide continued. That is why reformers (mostly on the right) championed charter schools and vouchers, which let parents do the job of improvement by the simple act of withdrawing their kids from bad situations. The method was not to fix existing schools but to create new and better ones.

Trump’s Quiet Signals to Xi on Taiwan

Commentary
Taiwan remains a red line for Chinese leader Xi Jinping, while President Donald Trump faces a major test as Beijing exerts pressure. Yet Xi’s latest attempt to draw Washington closer to Beijing’s position yielded no public commitment.
According to China’s official account of the China–U.S. summit last month, Xi urged Trump to oppose “Taiwan independence” and handle the issue prudently, describing it as essential to stable bilateral relations. However, Taiwan was notably omitted from the White House’s list of summit outcomes.
Rather than answering in the language Beijing sought, Trump responded through quieter signals.
