Welcome back, Wake Up Right fam! Let’s start the week off on the right foot with two stats:
🚸 Since President Donald Trump took office, illegal border crossings are down 94%.
🛑 In the last 12 months, zero illegal aliens who crossed the border have been admitted into the United States.
Try to rewind the clock three or four years. Illegal immigration was out of control and was one of the biggest issues in America, thanks to the Biden regime.
Today, it’s an afterthought.
We still have lots of issues to tackle – namely, affordability and foreign entanglements – but the border issue has been solved thanks to President Trump’s efforts.
🦠 63% think U.S. officials covered up COVID origins
⚱ 62% of Americans are cremated after death
🇮🇳 On this day in 1974, India got a nuclear weapon
📉 83% of school districts' reading scores declined since 2015

Trump takes out ISIS #2 in Nigeria raid
U.S. and Nigerian forces killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki — ISIS's second-in-command and the man the Trump administration calls "the most active terrorist in the world" – in a joint nighttime raid in northeastern Nigeria.
The details: President Donald Trump revealed the operation in a Truth Social post early Saturday, crediting U.S. intelligence sources and Nigerian troops for tracking down a terror leader who thought Africa would shield him.
Multiple other ISIS leaders were killed in the same raid. No American troops were harmed.
Who is he? Minuki was a Nigerian native whom the U.S. designated a "specially designated global terrorist” in 2023. AFRICOM says he ran ISIS's media, financing, and weapons development worldwide – including explosives and drones.
What does this tell us? The raid signals a tougher U.S. posture in Africa, where ISIS and Boko Haram have expanded freely.
Zoom out: Nigeria has become one of the deadliest countries in the world for Christians. Boko Haram killed as many as 27 Nigerian Christians during Holy Week alone this year, and ISIS-linked militants have spent the past decade burning villages and slaughtering worshippers across the country's north.
The last word goes to President Trump, who wrote on Truth Social:
“[Minuki] will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the Government of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

London rises against censorship and mass migration
Tommy Robinson's "Unite the Kingdom" rally flooded central London with tens of thousands of flag-waving Brits on Saturday for a referendum on mass migration, government censorship, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's grip on power.
Who is Tommy Tobinson? He’s a longtime British activist who made his name exposing Muslim grooming gangs preying on young English girls. He's been banned, jailed, and deplatformed repeatedly – but emerged as the face of the U.K.’s growing populist backlash against mass migration and speech laws.
The details: Robinson packed central London with patriots waving Union Jack flags, St. George's Crosses, and Trump flags. The crowd at one point broke into a "U.S.A." chant.
The Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000 officers and facial-recognition technology. How dystopian.
Pro-Islam counter-protests were held in parallel.
Only 31 arrests were reported across Saturday's dueling demonstrations.
Robinson said American donors chipped in hundreds of thousands of dollars to make the event possible.
What they want: The rallygoers were calling for an end to mass migration, the ousting of Starmer's Labour government, and aiming to mobilize the 20 million Brits who didn't vote in 2024.
The Elon factor: Robinson heaped praise on Elon Musk, who reinstated him on X in 2023 after being banned on Twitter.
Musk has been highlighting the woke insanity taking place the U.K. He recently wrote: “More people are arrested for speech offenses in the UK than any other country. This is insane.”
Robinson said: "None of this would have happened if it wasn't for one man… he chose to fight for our free speech."
Government authoritarians: Starmer – who just got wooped in local elections and is facing a coup from his own party – went straight to the "far-right" playbook. In a Saturday op-ed, he vowed: "I will not let the likes of Tommy Robinson use their hate to drag our country backwards."
His government revoked visas for 11 foreign speakers, including Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński and Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek.
The speech crackdown: Britain now arrests roughly 30 people a day for online posts – over 12,000 in 2023 alone. Childminder Lucy Connolly got 31 months in prison for a single tweet.
The Crown Prosecution Service issued a rare pre-rally warning on Saturday, threatening hate speech prosecutions.
Big picture: This was a rally against mass migration – full stop. Robinson told the crowd: "Hostile communities have been imported into our nation, who are not going to integrate." Everything else – the speech laws, the two-tier policing, the visa bans on foreign speakers – is what the protesters see as the government’s tool to shield their open-borders policy from criticism.
The last word goes to Robinson, who wrote on X following the event: “
“A sea of patriots took over London yesterday. The powers that be threw every spanner they could into the works. But they failed. WE, The People, won! Unite The Kingdom and the West.”
