A North Carolina sheriff said Thursday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel are expected in Charlotte as soon as Saturday or early next week to start an enforcement operation. Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden said in a statement that two federal officials had confirmed that plan to him. His office declined to identify those officials. McFadden says details about the operation haven’t been disclosed, and his office hasn’t been asked to assist as the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown turns focus to North Carolina’s largest city. Activists, faith leaders, and local and state officials had already begun preparing the immigrant community, sharing information about resources and attempting to calm fears. A call organized by the group CharlotteEAST had nearly 500 people on it Wednesday. “The purpose of this call was to create a mutual aid network. It was an information resource sharing session,” said City Councilmember-Elect JD Mazuera Arias. “Let’s get as many people as possible aware of the helpers and who the people are that are doing the work that individuals can plug into, either as volunteers to donate to or those who are in need of support can turn to,” said CharlotteEAST executive director Greg Asciutto.

Statement from Sen. Fetterman’s Spokesperson: “During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

The head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday it would pay $10,000 bonuses to Transportation Security Administration officers who demonstrated exemplary service during the 43-day government shutdown, a spokesperson for the department said. President Donald Trump said this week he wanted to award $10,000 bonuses to air traffic controllers who did not skip work. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he would work with Congress on the awards. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the bonus checks were being awarded to TSA officers who took extra shifts and went above and beyond work requirements during the shutdown. "They were an example ... They helped individuals, they served extra shifts," Noem said. "They helped with transportation of people getting back and forth to work." Noem said the checks were aimed at helping families of workers get back on their feet after going without pay for six weeks. Some workers struggled to pay mortgages, child care or other essential costs. The government shutdown that ended on Wednesday forced 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA officers to work without pay. Staffing issues snarled travel at airports in recent weeks, sometimes leading to long security lines because of TSA absences and tens of thousands of delayed and canceled flights due to a lack of air traffic controllers.

Why are so many young people questioning their faith—and what does it take to confront the toughest questions about God, truth, and culture? For today’s conversation, Pastor Greg Laurie talks with Christian apologist—and mentor to the late Charlie Kirk—Frank Turek for an honest, timely conversation about faith, evidence, and the future of the church. Together, Pastor Greg and Frank dig deep into what’s fueling today’s “deconstruction” trend among Christian youth, why so many leave the church after high school, and how technology, college campuses, and cultural pressures challenge the foundations of belief. No question is off-limits: from “Does science contradict the Bible?” to “Why does God allow suffering?” and “How do we respond to the transgender movement?”—every topic is handled with compassion and real-world insight. Frank also talks about his friend and mentee, Charlie Kirk, reflecting on his legacy and the explosive spiritual awakening our country has experienced following his tragic death. This conversation isn’t just for pastors or intellectuals—instead it’s for anyone seeking to grow in faith, love for their neighbor, and meaningfully engage as believers unafraid to compromise in a changing world.

The Schumer Shutdown is finally over! Today, Josh Hammer breaks down what comes next now that the government is reopening—and who the American people will ultimately blame for the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Josh is then joined by Mike Davis, Founder and President of the Article III Project, to expose the judicial overreach targeting President Trump week after week.

A White House official says essential federal workers should get their back pay soon. Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett said payments will probably come in the next week — or sooner. Federal workers deemed essential, including Capitol Police officers, TSA workers, and air traffic controllers, had been forced to work without paychecks during the shutdown. Meanwhile, it’ll likely take some time to get SNAP food aid payments and air travel back to normal.

President Donald Trump has signed a government funding bill that ends a record 43-day shutdown. The disruption caused financial stress for federal workers who went without paychecks, stranded scores of travelers at airports and generated long lines at some food banks. The signing ceremony came just hours after the House passed the measure on a mostly party-line vote of 222-209. Democrats wanted to extend an enhanced tax credit that lowers the cost of health coverage obtained through Affordable Care Act marketplaces and refused to go along with a spending bill that did not include that priority. But Republicans said that was a separate policy fight to be held at another time, and they prevailed.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the revocations “an admission that California acted improperly,” adding that his team will continue to hold the state accountable.

Lawyers for two of President Donald Trump’s longtime opponents are asking a federal judge to dismiss the charges against their clients, arguing that the prosecutor who filed the cases was illegally appointed. The challenge focuses on Lindsey Halligan’s role as interim U.S. Attorney and is part of a broader effort by former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James to have the cases dismissed before trial. A federal court is set to hear arguments Thursday on whether Halligan’s appointment complied with constitutional and statutory requirements governing U.S. attorneys.
