The British parliament took the first step toward decriminalizing late-term abortions in England and Wales on Tuesday.In a 379-137 vote, the House of Commons approved an amendment to a broader crime bill to prevent women from being prosecuted for having abortions after the legal limit, potentially through birth. The current law prohibits abortions after 24 weeks, except under specific circumstances such as the life of the mother.Labour Member of Parliament Tonia Antoniazzi, who introduced the amendment, said the change was necessary on behalf of the more than 100 women investigated over the last five years for suspected illegal abortions.As quoted by the Associated Press, she said, "This piece of legislation will only take women out of the criminal justice system because they are vulnerable and they need our help." Antoniazzi added, "Just what public interest is this serving? This is not justice, it is cruelty and it has got to end."INFLUENCING NEAR UK ABORTION FACILITIES CRIMINALIZED AS GOV PLANS TO ROLL OUT NATIONWIDE BUFFER ZONESChanges in the law implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic now allow UK women to receive abortion pills through the mail for use within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. That has led to several instances in which women were prosecuted for obtaining abortion pills illegally to terminate pregnancies after 24 weeks or more.One woman, a mother of three, was sentenced to two years in prison for medically inducing an abortion around her eight-month mark in 2023. An appeals court reduced her sentence a month later, and she was released. The judge said that case called for "compassion, not punishment" and there was no useful purpose in jailing her.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAlithea Williams of the UK Society for the Protection of Unborn Children condemned the vote in a statement."We are horrified that MPs have voted for this extreme and barbaric proposal. If this clause becomes law, a woman who aborts her baby at any point in pregnancy, even moments before birth, would not be committing a criminal offence," Williams said. "In fact, by dismissing the Infant Life Preservation Act intended to provide legal protection to a child during birth, a woman who killed her baby during delivery would not be committing an offence.""And this has been pushed by an abortion lobby cynically exploiting a situation that they brought about," she added. "The cases they use of women being prosecuted for abortion a number in the single digits came about because of a policy they championed sending women abortion pills in the post without in person appointments."Another amendment would have prohibited medical professionals from being prosecuted for helping a woman obtain an abortion, but it did not get a vote.The crime bill must now pass through the House of Commons before proceeding to the House of Lords. It can be delayed there, but not blocked.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

EXCLUSIVE: Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts is leading the charge with Democrat Sen. John Fetterman to codify oversight on foreign countries buying American farmland.The bipartisan Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure (AFIDA) Improvements Act seeks to implement recommendations published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in January 2024, which found the AFIDA was ill-equipped to combat foreign ownership of American agricultural land."Communist China is our greatest geopolitical threat," Ricketts told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview, adding, "This is a way for us to improve the disclosure that's going on with regard to the purchase of this agricultural land, so we can take other action if necessary to make sure we're not giving Communist China the opportunity to buy agricultural land."The bill's proposal comes as two Chinese nationals a University of Michigan post-doctoral research fellow, Yunqing Jian, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology student Chengxuan Han were held in federal custody after they were accused of smuggling biological materials into the United States.RICKETTS, FETTERMAN TEAM UP FOR CRACKDOWN ON CHINA'S ATTEMPTS TO PURCHASE US FARMLANDThe suspects have been charged with "smuggling a fungus that has been described as a "potential agroterrorism weapon" into the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme," interm U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan Jerome Gorgon said in a statement.AFTER UKRAINES SURPRISE DRONE ASSAULT ON RUSSIA, NEW ATTENTION DRAWN TO SENSITIVE SITES STATESIDEThe fungus causes a "head blight," described as a disease of wheat, maize, rice and barley, and is responsible for billions of dollars of economic losses throughout the world each year, according to the Department of Justice. If ingested by humans, the substance can cause vomiting, liver damage and "reproductive defects in humans and livestock."Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration is focused on "keeping our homeland secure" through enhanced border screenings."Protecting Americas food supply and national security remains a top priority. Last weeks smuggling attempt by Chinese nationals of Fusarium graminearum, a dangerous crop-destroying fungus, posing a significant bioterrorism threat, only highlights this imperative to combat this threat," McLaughlin said."That could potentially be very damaging to agriculture," Ricketts told Fox News Digital. "We also know that Chinese nationals have been trying to steal our biotechnology with regard to agriculture. They've also been crashing gates of bases. Supposed Chinese tourists have been flying drones around bases. Of course, the Chinese flew a surveillance balloon over our country when the Biden administration just let that happen."Ricketts said China has been aggressively buying American agriculture, "which is why we need to have a heightened sense of vigilance around protecting our homeland."Foreign investors own over 40 million acres of agricultural land in the United States, and between 2010 and 2021, Chinese ownership of American agricultural land increased from 13,720 acres to 383,935 acres, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)."It's not just about the number of acres that they own, but the fact that they own it around Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota or Fort Liberty in North Carolina. They're buying it around sensitive military installations," Ricketts said.The bill, also co-sponsored by Sens. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, John Cornyn of Texas, Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, requires AFIDA reporting for foreign persons holding more than 1% interest in American agricultural land.The AFIDA Improvements Act aims to increase information-sharing between the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and the USDA. It also requires updates to the AFIDA's handbook and establishes a deadline for USDA to set up an online AFIDA system.Based on the GAO's recommendations, the bill seeks to update the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 to better equip the USDA to combat foreign adversaries ownership of American agricultural land."We are at the most dangerous point in our history right now since World War II," Ricketts said. "We have to be investing in our military. We have to be supporting our friends around the world that are pushing back on these dictators. Communist China is one of them."Additionally, the bill comes as conflict in the Middle East reaches a boiling point between Iran and Israel, reigniting concerns about national security. Israel successfully coordinated attacks against Iran from inside the country, and Ricketts pointed to Ukraine's success in targeting a Russian air base.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"What Ukraine was able to do against Russia with their operation that destroyed some of their strategic bombers, and they placed trucks with drones close to an air base and had those drones attack their squadrons. We could be vulnerable to the same thing if China did that here. They've owned farmland close enough to our air bases to be able to launch a drone strike. That should be very concerning to us," Ricketts said.Ricketts added that American farmland should not be a "tool that our adversaries, like Communist China, can use to attack us from inside our own country."There has been little movement on the bill since it was just recently introduced. That is largely because Senate Republicans are narrowly focused on advancing Trump's "big, beautiful bill" ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline.Fox News Digital's Julia Bonavita and Alex Miller contributed to this report.

FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are putting California's state-run public health insurance exchange on notice with a letter demanding answers about its leaking of private patient data to third-party entries as part of a marketing effort.Spearheaded by several Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the letter to Covered California, which facilitates public health insurance for millions of Californians, seeks answers to numerous questions about its alleged leak of private patient data to third-party entities, such as LinkedIn and Google. "Ensuring the confidentiality of health information is a foundational obligation for entities operating within the health insurance ecosystem," the letter, signed by five Republican leaders in the House, states. It points out how federal privacy protections, in particular those stemming from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), establish certain "expectations" for how organizations like Covered California must handle patient information.Additionally, in California, the law requires consumers provide permission to certain organizations before their medical information can be disclosed to third-parties.OVER 8M PATIENT RECORDS LEAKED IN HEALTHCARE DATA BREACH"Recent reports and public filings raised questions about whether those expectations were met in this case, and whether existing oversight mechanisms are sufficient to detect and prevent improper disclosures," the Republicans' letter asserted. Following public criticism in late April, alleging that Covered California was passing sensitive patient data to LinkedIn via a network of "trackers" on its website, the state-run health insurance exchange removed them.The criticism stemmed from a forensic analysis by two investigative nonprofits, which found Covered California's website was sharing patients' answers to questions, such as whether one is pregnant, or how many prescription drugs they use, or how often they see doctors, were being passed to LinkedIn without the patients' knowledge or consent. Other questions included demographic information and other sensitive personal data, and Covered California subsequently admitted to sharing patients' Social Security numbers.In total, Covered California had more than 60 active "trackers" on various data points, according to Cal Matters, one of the investigative nonprofits that uncovered the leaked data. Cal Matters, in their investigation, pointed out how the average number of trackers across more than 200 government websites it investigated was only three.Following the Cal Matters report that led to public criticism, Coverd California subsequently explained that the "trackers" it had functioning on its website were part of an advertising campaign initiated in February 2024, and upon discovery of the data sharing, it removed them in April the following year.5.5 MILLION PATIENTS' INFORMATION EXPOSED BY MAJOR HEALTHCARE DATA BREACH"Covered California leverages LinkedIns advertising platform tools, including LinkedIn Insight tags, which are pieces of code added to a website to help track how visitors interact with the site. This tool allows us to better understand consumer behavior and deliver tailored messages to help consumers make informed decisions about their health care options," Covered California said in a public statement put out following the Cal Matters report. "While the review is still ongoing, Covered California has identified that some sensitive data was inadvertently collected by the tags, including first names, the last four digits of Social Security numbers, and other sensitive health information like pregnancy status."The state health insurance exchange added that it was reviewing its entire website to ensure no more analytical tools were improperly collecting or sharing sensitive patient data. Meanwhile, days after Cal Matters brought the data-sharing concerns involving Covered California to light, a class-action lawsuit was filed against LinkedIn and Google, accusing the companies of operating software enabling them "to intercept sensitive and confidential communications of Covered California customers."The letter from House Republicans marks the latest attempt to increase pressure on the California-run public health insurance exchange. Republicans are demanding answers to questions pertaining to its data sharing, including during the period of time it was allegedly sharing info with LinkedIn, as well as questions about what Covered California is currently doing to protect its patients' data.BLUE SHIELD EXPOSED 4.7M PATIENTS HEALTH DATA TO GOOGLE"Americans deserve to know that their sensitive health data is secure and being handled prudently,"Chairman Guthrie said following transmission of the letter to Covered California. "We are hopeful that California will be transparent and forthcoming about this apparent data security failure as we launch our investigation.""The unauthorized sharing of private health data with third-party advertisers including pregnancy status, prescription drug use, and Social Security information is deeply troubling," added California Rep. Jay Obernolte, a fellow Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee who helped spearhead the letter to Covered California alongside Guthrie. "Were seeking answers because the people of California deserve accountability and transparency when their privacy is compromised."When reached for comment, Covered California acknowledged receipt of the letter from Guthrie, Obernolte, and others on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, adding that they were currently reviewing its requests and plan to respond by the provided July 1 deadline. Google and LinkedIn declined to provide comment for this article.

While the U.S. weighs its future involvement in the conflict between Iran and Israel, many leaders are looking with fresh eyes at Irans activities targeting Americans worldwide over four decades.Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., posted on Tuesday, "The forever war is the war that Iran has waged against the U.S., Israel, and the civilized world since 1979."The examples of Irans involvement in attacks on Americans include direct and proxy attacks on U.S. forces, support for terror groups, and assassination efforts.IRAN OFFICIAL ADMITS COUNTRYS ROLE IN TERROR BOMBING THAT KILLED 241 US MILITARY MEMBERS: REPORTIn the early days of the Islamic revolution in 1979, radical Islamic students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Irans first supreme religious leader, took hold of the situation, spurning international appeals to release the hostages. The last U.S. hostages were released 444 days later.In 2023, Sayyed Issa Tabatabai, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameneis representative in Lebanon, admitted during an interview with the state-controlled Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that the Islamic Republic was involved in two 1983 bombings that killed Americans in Lebanon.The bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut resulted in the deaths of 63 victims, including 17 Americans. When two suicide truck bombs exploded at the barracks of multinational forces in Lebanon, 220 Marines, 18 U.S. Navy sailors and three U.S. Army soldiers were killed, and 58 French troops were murdered.In the IRNA interview, Tabatabai said "I quickly went to Lebanon and provided what was needed in order to [carry out] martyrdom operations in the place where the Americans and Israelis were." He also stated that he received a fatwa from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini ordering him to carry out the attacks, though the IRNA removed the assertion "shortly after publication," according to a report and translation of the interview from the Middle East Media Research Institute.On June 25, 1996, 19 U.S. Air Force members were killed when a truck bomb exploded outside the Khobar Towers. Al Jazeera reported that in 2006, a U.S. court found the Iranian government responsible for the attack, committed by Saudi members of Hezbollah. The court ordered Iran to pay $254 million to victims of the attack.According to a 2019 Pentagon report cited by the Military Times, Iran bears responsibility for the deaths of 603 U.S. service members in Iraq between 2003 and 2011. This figure accounted for 17% of U.S. deaths in the country during the period.Some U.S. victims have been able to prove Irans connections to our enemies in court.USS NIMITZ CARRIER STRIKE GROUP SAILING TOWARD MIDDLE EAST AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, US OFFICIAL SAYSIn 2022, surviving family members and victims won a case against the Islamic Republic of Iran, using the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to hold the regime accountable for its support of terror actors who killed or injured 30 U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.IRANIAN STRIKES ON ISRAEL ESCALATE, KILLING AT LEAST 24 AND DAMAGING US EMBASSY BRANCH IN TEL AVIVBill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of the Long War Journal, testified in support of the victims. He told Fox News Digital that "Iran's support for the Taliban and al Qaeda and the impact it had on the deaths and injuries to American soldiersand civilians is incalculable. Iran providedmoney, weapons, training, intelligence, and safe havento Taliban subgroups across Afghanistan, including in the heart of the country in Kabul." In Roggios estimation, "Iran's support for the Taliban was only rivaled by that of Pakistan. I would argue that Iran's extensive support facilitated nearly every Taliban attack on U.S. personnel."In 2022, the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., found that Iran likewise owed damages to the families and victims of 40 U.S. service members who were injured or killed in Iraq due to Irans support of terrorism in the country.In attempted retribution for the murder of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Iran targeted two U.S. bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq with surface-to-surface missiles in 2020.In January 2024, three Americans were killed, and 25 others were wounded in a drone attack on an outpost in Jordan near the border with Syria. Two Iranians, one of whom had dual U.S. citizenship, were charged in connection with the attack.IRANIAN MEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH FATAL DRONE STRIKE THAT KILLED THREE US SOLDIERSAt the time of the attack, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex) said that Iranian proxies had "launched over 150 attacks on U.S. troops" following Hamas Oct. 7 attacks.Roggio reported that on June 14, Iranian-backed militias "launched three drones" at Ain al Assad, a U.S. base in western Iraq. The drones were shot down before reaching their target.Roggio said that the drone attack "appears to be an unsanctioned strike by an unnamed Iranian militia. Unlike past attacks, no group has claimed credit, and there have been no follow-on strikes." He believes Iran "wants to keep the U.S. out of the fight, as the U.S. military has the capability to hit the underground nuclear facility at Fordow."Between October 2023 and August 2024, Iranian-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq militias launched 180 attacks against U.S. forces in Syria, Iraq and Jordan. Throughout their "decades of experience," Roggio says Iraqi militias "are estimated to have killed more than 600 U.S. service members."Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent and private investigator, disappeared from an Iranian island in 2007. Levinson was held hostage and was declared dead in 2020, when he was said to have died in Iranian custody. His family blamed the Iranian regime for his capture and imprisonment.Just last year, Iran executed Jamshid Sharmahd. Sharmahd survived an assassination attempt in California in which an Iranian agent was convicted of the planned murder. He was then kidnapped by the Iranian regime in Dubai in 2020 as part of a business trip.The history of prisoner exchanges between Iran and the U.S. dates back to 1979. The most recent prisoner exchange of five Americans imprisoned in Iran for five Iranians detained in the U.S. occurred in September 2023. As part of the deal, the U.S. released $6 billion in frozen assets in South Korea.In November, the Department of Justice announced charges against an Iranian citizen and two New Yorkers for their role in a murder-for-hire plot targeting multiple American citizens, including President Donald Trump.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News Bret Baier on Monday that Trump remains an Islamic Republic target. "They want to kill him. Hes enemy number one."Fox News' Benjamin Weinthal contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump said it's up in the air whether he will sign off on military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities comments that come as his administration weighs U.S. involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran.Trump told reporters outside the White House Wednesday that he hasnt ruled out whether the U.S. will strike Iranian nuclear facilities, but said that the coming days or the "next week is going to be very big."Additionally, Trump said that Iran's capital Tehran is facing a lot of problems as it seeks to come to the negotiating table after abandoning talks scheduled for Sunday."Yes, I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this that Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction? Why didn't you go? I said to people, why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this."Trump previously has said he believes that Iran was very close to obtaining a nuclear weapon, and has pushed Iran to sign a nuclear agreement. Although talks were scheduled for the U.S. and Iran in Oman Sunday, Iran withdrew Friday from the discussions.Trump doubled down on his previous statements Wednesday asserting that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon."This is just not a threat you can have. And we've been threatened by Iran for many years," Trump said. "You know, if you go back and look at my history, if you go back 15 years, I was saying we cannot let Iran get a nuclear weapon. I've been saying it for a long time. I mean it more now than I ever met."This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Former President Barack Obama took aim at affluent liberals on Tuesday, saying they would be "tested in some way," unlike during his presidency, warning the crowd they would have to decide what their priorities would be.The former Democratic president said during remarks in Hartford, Connecticut that liberals "felt comfortable in their righteousness" during his presidency because it wasn't challenged. "You could be as progressive and socially conscious as you wanted, and you did not have to pay a price," he said.Obama offered no direct rebukes to current events while conversing with historian Heather Cox Richardson, according to The New York Times, only issuing veiled criticisms of President Donald Trump during his remarks. He didn't mention the president by name once."You could still make a lot of money. You could still hang out in Aspen and Milan and travel and have a house in the Hamptons and still think of yourself as a progressive," Obama said, according to the Times. "We now have a situation in which all of us are going to be tested in some way, and we are going to have to decide what our commitments will be."CHRIS MATTHEWS SAYS IT'S FAIR TO CALL OBAMA'S IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL A JOKE"Now things are a little different," he said. "You might lose some of your donors if youre a university and if youre a law firm, your billings might drop a little bit, which means you cannot remodel that kitchen in your house in the Hamptons this summer."The Times reported that Obama urged businesses, law firms, and universities to counter Trump's policies.The former president posted on X about immigration on Sunday, suggesting immigrants were "being demonized and treated as enemies" in the U.S."Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper,"the Democrat said in a social media post.DEMOCRATIC STRATEGISTS QUESTION INFLUENCE OF OBAMA-ERA CAMPAIGN OPERATIVES IN PARTY'S FUTURE"DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And its an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies," the former president said, referring to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.The Atlantic reported on June 8 that some progressives have been frustrated by the former president's lack of more vocal opposition to Trump."There are many grandmas and Rachel Maddow viewers who have been more vocal in this moment than Barack Obama has," co-founder of the Progressive Change Institute, Adam Green, told the Atlantic.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"It is heartbreaking," Green said, "to see him sacrificing that megaphone when nobody else quite has it."

As the frantic search for the father accused of murdering his three daughters stretches into its third week, authorities have released a new flyer of the suspect believed to be hiding out in the Washington wilderness.Travis Decker, 32, is wanted for allegedly killing his three daughters Paityn, 9; Evelyn, 8; and Olivia, 5 after their bodies were found in a wooded area approximately 30 miles from Rock Island Campground, according to the Chelan County Sheriffs Office (CCSO).Authorities released a new suspect flyer Tuesday as the manhunt continues, showing potential alterations Decker could have made to his appearance.FUGITIVE DAD TRAVIS DECKER HEARD IN NEW AUDIO BEFORE ALLEGEDLY MURDERING 3 DAUGHTERSThe flyer depicts renderings of Decker with and without facial hair and wearing a baseball cap.The search for Decker began on the evening of May 30 after his ex-wife notified police that the couples three daughters had not returned from a court-mandated visitation with him. Following a weekend of searching, the girls bodies were discovered near Deckers abandoned car.Decker reportedly suffers from mental health complications, including borderline personality disorder, and is homeless, living between campgrounds and motels, according to court documents.ALLEGED KILLER DAD COULD MAKE ONE MISTAKE THAT ENDS MANHUNT, SHERIFF SAYSDecker is reportedly a military veteran with specialized training in surviving in the wilderness, further complicating the search for him."New information has revealed Mr. Decker is well versed in wilderness survival and capable of spending days or even weeks in the wilderness on his own and with very little equipment,"the sheriff's office said in a statement.Authorities also acknowledged a fake TikTok video circulating online depicting Sheriff Mike Morrison announcing Decker had been taken into custody following a long standoff."To be clear, Mr. Decker is not in custody and CCSO had no part in making the video," the department said.SURVIVALISTS GOOGLE SEARCHES REVEAL POSSIBLE ESCAPE PLAN AMID MANHUNT IN DAUGHTERS TRIPLE MURDER: REPORTFederal authorities have taken the lead in the search for Decker, with the U.S. Marshals Service and Washington National Guard aiding local police with aerial and ground searches throughout the remote areas. Last week, the manhunt stretched into the Ingalls Creek and Valley High areas as authorities believed they were zeroing in on Decker.Officials are warning the public that Decker should be considered armed and dangerous, with the Marshals Service offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest. He is charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and kidnapping."Please secure your homes and vehicles, stay alert, and report any suspicious activity to 911," the sheriff's office previously posted to Facebook. "If you see something, say something."The CCSO did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

New Border Patrol data shows not a single illegal migrant was released into the United States last month, signaling an overwhelming turnaround since 62,000 were released into the country under the Biden administration at the same time last year."It's phenomenal," U.S. Border Patrol chief Michael Banks told Fox News Wednesday."Anybody that cares about national security knows that, under the last administration, we were breaking record numbers of people that were coming into the country illegally and that were being released into the country And to go from over 62,000 down to zero, we're breaking record numbers in the right direction now."BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN REVEALS UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN TRUMP'S BORDER STRATEGYBanks told "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt that, while the Border Patrol is refraining from declaring victory on the issue, "we are fast approaching it.""We are closer to operational security of the border than we've ever had," he shared."Two days ago, we broke another record 141 entries at the southwest border. Those entries are all apprehended, and none of them will be released."BORDER PATROL MORALE IS 'GOING THROUGH THE ROOF' UNDER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, TOP OFFICIAL SAYSBanks thanked President Donald Trump for supporting his agency and for providing its agents with the tools necessary to make communities and the nation safer."We've said all along that the United States Border Patrol knows how to secure the border. We just need leadership, and with the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are proving exactly what we've been saying for years: Let us enforce the laws, and we'll get the job done.""I think the American people are seeing that... And we're just getting started. We're not even close to being done."

The 2025 race for New York City mayor is tightening, with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's lead shrinking with less than a week to go until the crucial June 24 Democratic Party mayoral primary, a new poll indicates.A Marist Institute for Public Opinion poll released Wednesday shows that Cuomo the former three-term governor is the top choice for 38% of likely Democratic primary voters in New York City.Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid multiple scandals, is now eyeing a political comeback and working to redeem his image.Zorhan Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist state assemblyman from Queens, stands in second place in the poll, with 27% support in the primary, which is conducted using a ranked-choice voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots.CUOMO TARGETS TRUMP AS HE QUESTIONS MAMDANI'S EXPERIENCE IN NYC PRIMARY BATTLEMamdani, who is originally from Uganda, cut Cuomo's lead by nearly half from a Marist poll conducted a month ago, thanks in part to consolidating progressive support in the 11-candidate mayoral primary field.Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City's most prominent leader on the left, endorsed Mamdani earlier this month. Earlier this week, longtime progressive champion and two-time Democratic presidential nominee runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders backed Mamdani.With multiple candidates on the left running in the primary, the endorsements by Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders aimed to consolidate the support of progressive voters behind Mamdani.AOC BACKS RISING PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE IN NYC DEM PRIMARY IN PUSH TO DEFEAT FRONTRUNNER CUOMO"Mamdani is clearly in Cuomos rearview mirror," Marist polling director Lee M. Miringoff told Fox News.The poll indicates that New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is a distant third in the primary battle.The survey was conducted June 9-12, before the final debate between the candidates and ahead of Lander's arrest on Tuesday by Department of Homeland Security agents in Manhattan, after allegedly assaulting a federal officer as Lander tried to escort a defendant out of an immigration court.The poll was also conducted before the launch of an ad blitz questioning Mamdani's experience leading a city of more than 8 million people."Zohran Mamdanis a 33-year-old dangerously inexperienced legislator whos passed just three bills with a staff you can fit inside a New York elevator," the narrator in a Cuomo campaign ad said. "We need someone ready to roll. Andrew Cuomo managed a state and managed crises, from COVID to Trump."THIS BILLIONAIRE FORMER NYC MAYOR ENDORSES CUOMO AHEAD OF PRIMARYCuomo adviser and spokesperson Rich Azzopardi, when asked by Fox News about the new Marist survey, said, "This is the second poll in two days that showed Andrew Cuomo beginning and ending rank choice voting with a double-digit lead in a crowded multi-candidate race. These are serious times and New Yorkers know that Andrew Cuomo is the only candidate with the experience and the real record of results to fix whats broken and put the city back on the right track."The 67-year-old Cuomo has spent the past four years fighting to clear his name after 11 sexual harassment accusations, which he has repeatedly denied, forced his resignation. He was also under investigation at the time for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic amid allegations his administration vastly understated COVID-related deaths at state nursing homes.Last month, the Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into Cuomo after Republicans accused him of lying to Congress about the decisions he made as governor during the coronavirus pandemic.More than 130,000 Democrats have already cast ballots in early voting in the Democratic primary, ahead of next Tuesday's election.ANDREW CUOMO THE BIGGEST TARGET AS NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL PRIMARY HEATS UPThe winner of the Democratic Party primary is traditionally seen as the overwhelming frontrunner in the November general election in the heavily blue city.However, this year, the general election campaign may be a bit more unpredictable.Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, a moderate Democrat elected in 2021, is running for re-election as an independent. Adams earlier this year dropped his Democratic primary bid as his approval ratings sank to historic lows.While he is not on the ballot, President Donald Trump has taken center stage on the campaign trail in the closing weeks of the New York City primary battle.Cuomo and many of the other candidates in the race have heavily criticized Trump's recent move to place National Guard troops and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles in an effort to quell unrest sparked by an increase in ICE arrests of illegal immigrants orchestrated by the administration.The candidates are vowing to protect the city from what they suggest is a possible future federal crackdown against immigration protests in New York City.
