Fox News: On the ground in the Colorado city where President-elect Trump promises to remove ‘savage gangs’ of illegals
In Aurora, Colorado, the presence of migrants has become increasingly visible, with individuals seeking help in public spaces.

Local officials, including former ICE director John Fabbricatore, attribute these issues to unvetted migrants entering the community. Aurora's mayor has criticized Denver for allegedly offloading migrants without transparency, while community members express mixed feelings about the impact of immigration on safety and local crime rates.

Fox News: Why Trump's target should be China, not Panama
Donald Trump has suggested a potential invasion of Panama, citing Chinese influence in the Canal Zone as a threat to U.S. security. However, a former Marine commander argues that Panama is an ally and that Trump's approach is misguided. Instead, the focus should be on countering China through stronger economic and diplomatic ties in the region.
The former commander emphasizes that the U.S. should strengthen alliances and trade relationships to effectively uphold the Monroe Doctrine against Chinese expansion. By enhancing cooperation with countries like Panama and re-engaging in trade agreements, America can better position itself against Chinese influence in Central and South America.
