Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! Border Czar Tom Homan told reporters yesterday that ICE arrests need to hit 7,000 per day following the passage of the "Big Beautiful Bill," which allocates over $100 billion for immigration enforcement.

Do the math: That would be over 10 million deportations by the end of Trump’s term.

You might think that’s not enough. But it’d roughly cover the total number of illegals let in during the Biden regime — with a high priority on the worst ones. That’s a good start.

Epstein did… kill himself?

The Trump administration’s Justice Department (DOJ) says it found no evidence Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, maintained a blackmail ring, or kept an incriminating client list – leaving many longtime supporters [myself included] scratching their heads.

Back up: Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender, allegedly died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019.

The details: According to a memo obtained by Axios, the DOJ and FBI claim:

• Epstein did kill himself: Surveillance footage of the common area outside his jail cell “supports the medical examiner’s conclusion” that Epstein hanged himself.

• Client list: The memo states there’s "no incriminating 'client list'“, no blackmail material, and no uncharged co-conspirators worth pursuing. That’s odd since Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking. Are the people she trafficked those girls to not “worth pursuing”?

• Blackmail? The memo states there was "no credible evidence ... that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.”

The memo estimates there are over 1,000 victims of Epstein’s perversions, according to DOJ estimates. Sensitive records will stay sealed due to the graphic nature of abuse and privacy concerns.

What the conservative right is saying: Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton blasted the memo as insulting: “So there is a list — but you won’t show us because you say it’s not incriminating?”

• Fitton is suing to have the records released.

Zoom out: Prior to joining the administration, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino both were vocal proponents of the theory that Jeffrey Epstein was killed in his jail cell as part of a conspiracy to protect his predators.

• Since ascending to the top of the FBI, both now say Epstein did kill himself.

What now? Despite this memo [which was 100% purposely leaked], the drumbeat for truth and transparency is not over. If there are over 1,000 victims, then there are certainly perpetrators waiting to be brought to justice.

Border Patrol ambushed

A man in tactical gear opened fire on Border Patrol agents Monday morning in McAllen, Texas, in what officials say was a targeted ambush.

The details: The gunman, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, fired dozens of rounds at the entrance to the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol annex.

• Three people, including two law enforcement officers and one Border Patrol employee, were injured.

• Agents and police fired back, killing the shooter.

Motive: The Department of Homeland Security called the incident a “purposeful ambush/attack," however, the motive remains unconfirmed. I think we all know the motive…

• Shooter’s message: The vehicle Mosqueda arrived in, which had Michigan plates, had the words “Cordis Die” written on it. It isn't immediately clear what that means, though it could be a misspelling of "Cordis Dei," which means "of the heart of God."

Back up: This comes days after 10 far-left domestic terrorists ambushed ICE personnel in Fort Worth, shooting one police officer.

Zoom out: Assaults on ICE agents are up over 700% this year.

The last word goes to Mayra Flores, who was the first Mexican-born member of Congress. She wrote on X:

• "This is the result of left-leaning media and Democrat political leaders instilling hate and disrespect toward our federal agents, who are simply doing their job enforcing the law."

DHS confirmed the FBI is leading the investigation.

A few months ago, I was at a butcher in my neighborhood and saw a diagram of a cow, with all the cuts of meat labeled. And that gave me an idea for a t-shirt:

DOGE Butcher Shop — but instead of the cow, we use a pig. And the cuts of meat in the diagram represent all the waste, fraud, and abuse being butchered by the Trump admin.

Over the last few weeks, I worked with a really talented graphic designer who brought it to life. And on Friday I got a sample in the mail and I’m happy to say, it came out better than I’d hoped.

Also, my wife told me I had to mention that the t-shirt it’s printed on is Comfort Colors. Apparently, they’re well-known for high-quality materials. I just chose them because they are printed in the U.S. and made with 100 U.S. cotton.
