A Chicago pastor, known for his unconventional forms of activism, is taking the next step in trying to inspire the countrys youth.Pastor Corey Brooks, known as "Rooftop Pastor," is preparing to walk 3,000 miles from New York to Los Angeles this September. He said his goal is to raise awareness and funding for community development in Chicago, and for underserved youth across the country."Our country has gotten away from God, our families and communities have gotten away from God, and we need a spiritual awakening in America," Brooks told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday."That's one of the reasons why I'm walking across America, to take the hope to people across cities and suburbs and countryside to let them know that we can change things."FROM A CHICAGO ROOFTOP TO 3,000-MILE JOURNEY, HERE'S HOW I'M FIGHTING TO RESTORE AMERICA'S SOULBrooks gained national attention in 2011 when he spent 94 days living on the roof of a rundown Chicago motel to protest violence and the deaths of young people in his community. The pastor aimed to raise money to demolish the abandoned motel, which he said had become a hub for drugs and crime.That demonstration was a success and led to the founding of Project H.O.O.D., a non-profit aimed at helping at-risk youths escape poverty and violence. The organizations website says it provides mentorship, training, and community support to local residents."In Chicago, we've taken one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in all of America, and we've transformed it," said Brooks of their previous work.FAITH UNDER FIRE: HOW TRUMP'S 'BEAUTIFUL BILL' TARGETS CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONNow, he wants his latest mission, dubbed the "Walk Across America," to help him aid even more young people. The journeys goal is to raise $25 million in private donations to finish building Project H.O.O.D.s 90,000-square-foot Leadership and Economic Opportunity Center in Chicago, debt-free. Brooks said he aspires to spread Project H.O.O.D. throughout the country."We have a school to put in place. Our goal is to plant Project H.O.O.D. across the country," Brooks said."That's one of the reasons why we're walking to raise these funds. It's not just a walk about raising money, but it's a walk about raising merit."A BOLD MOVE TO RESCUE CHICAGO'S YOUTH FROM LEFTIST DEPENDENCYBrooks said the effort has already received support from private citizens, business leaders, and donors."We're building a 90,000-square-foot center. And that's because of the help of [the] American people and [the] Fox Network," he said, expressing gratitude to those who have already supported his walk.Brooks said he hopes his walk will teach others that faith and hard work can help people do great things."I really believe America still works," he said. "When we have faith and hard work and vision activated, we can make anything happen in America."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

United States Customs and Border Patrol caught an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member during a traffic stop near Detroit Wednesday.The traffic stop in Shelby Township by Maryville Station CBP officers was triggered by a fake license plate on a vehicle. CBP said the three people inside the car were all in the United States illegally, and one of them is Venezulean national Manuel Zavala-Lopez, an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member who entered the country during the Biden administration in May 2023 and was released, according to DHS.The group was named a foreign terrorist organization early on during President Donald Trumps second term, along with MS-13. Some of those alleged members have been sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador for detention.FBI TAKES DOWN ANTI-TREN GANG MEMBERS IN LARGEST BUST YET IN VIOLENT MIGRANT TURF WAR"Zavala-Lopez is a serial criminal who's traveled across the U.S. committing violent crimes. He has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a felony assault charge in Denver, Colorado.He has also been charged with robbery resulting in physical injury, criminal possession of a weapon intent to use, assault, possession of stolen property and petty larceny in New York," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement."Thanks to our brave law enforcement, he is off the streets and will no longer be able to terrorize American citizens. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.""The arrest of this Tren de Aragua gang member, who has a history of firearms and other criminal charges and was wanted on an active warrant out of Denver, Colorado, for failure to appear, removes another dangerous criminal illegal alien from our country and enhances public safety," Detroit Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris said in a statement."This marks the second arrest of a gang member from a foreign terrorist organization this month and underscores the relentless efforts of our agents and law enforcement partners. These cases highlight the critical value of interagency cooperation in removing these criminal threats from our communities," Morris added.The 30-year-old, who is not named but had his mugshot disclosed by the agency, was previously charged with violent robbery as well as weapons and immigration violations, according to a news release."This Tren de Aragua gang member, who had no business being in our country, let alone roaming the streets of Shelby Township, serves as our department's commitment to keeping our community safe and getting dangerous individuals like this out of our community," Lt. Mark Benedettini of the Shelby Township Police Department told Fox News Digital in an email.TRUMP'S CRACKDOWN NETS OVER 2,700 ALLEGED MEMBERS OF NOTORIOUS VENEZUELAN GANGTraffic stops are considered a major aspect of border and immigration enforcement, and people and drugs are often caught as a result.Two Salvadoran nationals in the country illegally were also arrested by CBP in Detroit earlier this month, the agency announced July 10.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEBorder Patrol agents responded after a call for extra help during an "altercation" at a motel in Sterling Heights.One of the men "admitted" to being a member of MS-13 and said he previously served 20 years behind bars in the Central American country for killing someone from a rival gang.VENEZUELAN GANG SUSPECT IN US ILLEGALLY ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTS TO MURDER FEDERAL AGENT DURING ARREST"This is a major win for the U.S. Border Patrol and the safety of our communities," Detroit Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Javier Geronimo Jr. said in a statement at the time."This arrest is a clear example of how agents and our law enforcement partners are protecting our towns by removing violent criminals from our country."

According to critics at outlets like The Washington Post and MSNBC, Sydney Sweeneys new American Eagle (AE) jeans ad is promoting racist and "regressive" themes.In reports published by the Post, MSNBC, GMA and Salon, journalists scrutinized whether the "Euphoria" star and fashion brand were taking digs at the body positivity movement and subtly pushing "Whiteness" and "eugenics" in the culture."The advertisement, the choice of Sweeney as the sole face in it and the internets reaction reflect an unbridled cultural shift toward Whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation. Sweeney is both a symptom and a participant," MSNBC producer Hanna Holland wrote in an MSNBC.com column on Monday.SYDNEY SWEENEY SLAMS HOLLYWOOD'S 'WOMEN EMPOWERING OTHER WOMEN' MESSAGE AS 'FAKE'Sweeneys American Eagle ad campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," went viral on social media over the weekend for controversial reasons.In one promo video posted to AEs Instagram page, the 27-year-old actress walked toward an AE billboard featuring her and the tagline "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes." Sweeney crossed out "Genes" and replaced it with "Jeans" before walking away.AEs website also noted that a "butterfly motif on the back pocket of the jean represents domestic violence awareness, which Sydney is passionate about.""In support of the cause, 100% of the purchase price from The Sydney Jean will be donated to Crisis Text Line, a nonprofit offering free, 24/7, confidential mental health support to anyone in needjust text 741741," the site says.Despite the jeans promoting a good cause, online critics were fixated on the ads alleged White supremacist undertones.SYDNEY SWEENEY HAS NO FEAR OF FILMING NUDE SCENES AS SHE HIGHLIGHTS BODY TRANSFORMATION FOR ROLELiberal outlets like Salon piled in on the backlash, with the outlets weekend editor CK Smith linking the tagline of Sweeneys ad to "eugenics movements.""Eugenics movements in the U.S. often promoted the idea of good genes to encourage reproduction among White, able-bodied people while justifying the forced sterilization of others. Critics say those ideas still show up in modern advertising and influencer culture, often unexamined," Smith wrote on Sunday.An analysis by Washington Post fashion critic Rachel Tashjian and the Posts media and fashion writer Shane ONeil bolstered the claims made by the ad's online critics."For the past five or six years, it seemed like fashion and pop culture were very interested in even dedicated to body positivity. Now were being fed a lot of images of thinness, Whiteness and unapologetic wealth porn, what with this campaign, influencers like Alix Earle and Sabrina Carpenters album cover," Tashjian wrote.She added, "But it is strange to see a brand like American Eagle go in this direction. Should teenagers be served a vision of sexuality and fashion that feels so regressive?"CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREONeil said the ad campaign reminded him of the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump."The first thing I thought of when I heard the tagline Sydney Sweeney has great jeans was the DHS Instagram account, which posted a subtly racist painting a few weeks ago and an explicitly racist painting last week," he said. "The latter depicted a gigantic blonde buxom woman chasing away Native people to make way for White settlers. When this is the imagery being promoted by our government, a pun about genes hits differently."On ABCs "GMA First Look" Tuesday, the show featured a clip of Kean University professor Robin Landa linking Sweeneys "good jeans" to the eugenics movement."The pun good jeans activates troubling historical associations for this country. The American eugenics movement, in its prime between 1900 and 1940, weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify White supremacism," she said.American Eagle did not immediately reply to Fox News Digitals request for comment.

Health officials are taking action against a substance that some are calling "gas station heroin." The FDA is recommending that 7-hydroxymitragynine (also known as 7-OH) a byproduct of the plant kratom be classified as a Schedule I drug.HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary emphasized the importance of getting ahead of yet another wave of addiction before it can sweep across the country. Makary compared the distribution of 7-OH to the early days of opioid prescriptions, before doctors understood the addictive nature of painkillers.MEDICAL GROUPS URGE KENNEDY, FDA TO REEXAMINE BROAD APPROVAL OF ABORTION DRUGS"Vape stores are popping up in every neighborhood in America, and many are selling addictive products like concentrated 7-OH. After the last wave of the opioid epidemic, we cannot get caught flat-footed again," Makary said in an FDA statement. "7-OH is an opioid that can be more potent than morphine. We need regulation and public education to prevent another wave of the opioid epidemic."During a news conference on Tuesday, Makary suggested that the public health community is often late to act against dangerous substances due to a "disconnect between the ivory towers and the streets." He then pondered aloud if experts had been to vape stores, as it "affects what we see in the operating room."According to the FDA, 7-OH is beginning to be recognized for its potential to be abused because of its ability to bind to opioid receptors. Additionally, the substance is widely available and may be appealing to children and teens as it is sold in fruit-flavored gummies and even ice cream cones. The FDA is also warning that 7-OH products "may not be clearly or accurately labeled as to their 7-OH content and are sometimes disguised or marketed as kratom.""I am in favor of this move because of the relationship of the 7-OH to the opioid receptors. This is essentially an opioid. It is semisynthetic and derived from the kratom plant whose leaves make a stimulant. There are no approved 7-OH drugs or diet supplements," FOX News Senior Medical Analyst Dr. Marc Siegel told Fox News Digital. "Bravo to the FDA for this move it should be listed as a controlled substance."FDA SAYS DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE KNOWN AS GAS STATION HEROIN POSES MAJOR RISK TO YOUNG PEOPLEKennedy spoke about his own battle with heroin addiction. The HHS secretary described his "iron willpower" and how he gave up candy and desserts for years, making him feel as though he could do anything, until he got his hands on heroin."I felt that I could do anything with my willpower, but this compulsion was absolutely impervious to my will, and part of the problem was just the availability. It was too easy to get this drug for me," Kennedy said.He also noted that President Donald Trumps family has also grappled with addiction. Though the president has been sober his entire life, his brother, Fred Trump Jr., struggled with alcoholism for much of his life and died at the age of 43."I had a brother, Fred, great guy," Trump said about his brother in 2017. "But he had a problem. He had a problem with alcohol. And he would tell me, Don't drink. Don't drink."Trump said at the time that he listened to his brother because he "respected him," adding that "to this day, Ive never had a drink."TRUMP-SIGNED FENTANYL LAW WILL END CAT AND MOUSE WITH TRAFFICKERS, STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL SAYSen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., who attended the news conference, supported the recommendation based on his familys experience with addiction, though he did not detail exactly to whom he was referring."Its an addiction that is ruining lives," Mullin said at a Tuesday news conference. He went on to thank Kennedy on behalf of his own family and "every single family that has dealt with this" for acting against the powerful drug.The CDC reported in May that drug overdose deaths in the country dropped in 2024. The U.S. saw "80,391 drug overdose deaths in the United States during 2024 a decrease of 26.9% from the 110,037 deaths estimated in 2023." Additionally, the CDC found that "overdose deaths involving opioids decreased from an estimated 83,140 in 2023 to 54,743 in 2024."Kratom, the plant from which 7-OH is derived, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. The FDA notes that kratom is often used to self-treat a variety of conditions, such as pain, anxiety and depression. The agency notes that it has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom or its two main chemical components: mitragynine and 7-OH.FOX News Serafin Gmez contributed to this report.

U.S. Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon addressed a Fox News Digital report that the Maine education commissioner undermined President Donald Trump's executive orders in emails to schools.McMahon shared the report in a post on X Tuesday, referencing the Trump administration's lawsuit against the state for defying Title IX."Deliberately defying federal law is exactly why [the Department of Education] found Maine in violation of Title IX- and why DOJ is continuing its lawsuit against the state. If you ignore federal law, there will be consequences," McMahon wrote.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMEmails obtained by Fox News Digital show Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin drafted multiple memos for schools that suggested the schools follow Maine state law and not comply with Trump's January executive orders that addressed public education."Last week, we advised schools to adhere to the Maine Human Rights Act and your local school board policies related to nondiscrimination. We encourage you to continue to keep all people safe and we reiterate the fact that, at present, neither our state law nor your local policies are diminished by the executive orders directing action at the federal level, one memo read, as seen in a Jan. 28 email."Most of the executive orders pertain to federal agencies and federal laws over which Maine DOE has no authority."Makin corresponded with Maine Assistant Attorney General Sarah Forster, with a draft of a memo to schools. The memo included orders to avoid complying with Trump's "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling," executive order, in a Jan. 30 email." this EO changes nothing for Maine schools," part of an email discussing the memo wrote.
