Fox News: Trump border czar Tom Homan vows to probe leak that stifled ICE raid targeting Venezuelan gang in Colorado

The Federalist: How Trump's DOT Can Help Make It Easier To Start A Family
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has issued a memo directing federal transportation funding to prioritize projects that support marriage and family growth, favoring areas with higher marriage and birth rates. This shift aims to redirect resources from dense urban projects to suburban and rural communities, where family formation is more robust.
The Department of Transportation is expected to evaluate grant programs with a focus on family-friendly policies, potentially altering funding criteria to avoid high-density housing initiatives that may hinder family growth. This move reflects a broader conservative push for government policies that foster family development.
