Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, whom President Donald Trump previously made an honorary Secret Service agent, is now an honorary Border Patrol agent.
Daniel, a 13-year-old who survived brain cancer after having dozens of surgeries and originally being given a terminal diagnosis, was sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer at more than 1,000 police agencies across the nation.

“Welcome our new honorary Border Patrol Agent Devarjaye ‘DJ’ Daniel. DJ is an unstoppable force and a true inspiration. We know he will exemplify our motto of ‘Honor First,’” Border Police Chief Michael W. Banks said in a post on X.
Daniel was previously honored at Trump’s joint address to Congress earlier this year.

“Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police,” Trump said at the time.
“He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer,” Trump continued. “But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.”
