    House Speaker Johnson tours ICE facility, says Chicago mayor is 'on the wrong side of the law'
    House Speaker Mike Johnson called out Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for opposing federal immigration enforcement, saying he was "on the wrong side of the law.""I tell you what, they have a very difficult job in this deep blue territory with a mayor on the wrong side of the law," the Speaker said Wednesday on Fox News "America's Newsroom" with Bill Hemmer and guest co-host Gillian Turner."They are doing everything they can, a patriotic duty," Speaker Johnson said, referring to his visit to a Chicago Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. "They are understaffed, overwhelmed with the workload trying to go after the dangerous criminal illegal aliens in the country, harming American citizens. The mayor of Chicago thinks its an ill-conceived mission, thats madness."CHICAGO MAYOR CALLS ICE RAIDS TERRORISM, SAYS TRUMPS AMERICA APPEARS AS 'IF THE CONFEDERACY WON'Both Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson have spoken out against Trumps immigration enforcement efforts."We do know ICE is coming once again in force to cities across the country, so we expect to see them in Chicago,"Pritzkersaid Thursday. "I dont know exactly how big the force will be, but I do know he has used other law enforcement along with ICE to carry out his ill-conceived mission to go after people who frankly are paying taxes, and theyre law-abiding, and theyve been here for many, many years."Mayor Johnson said Monday that Trump should not deploy federal troops to enforce federal immigration priorities."We will continue to resist,"he said. "Whether its in the courts, in the streets, or through public policy, were going to stand up for working people."CHICAGO MAYOR FIRES BACK AT BORDER CZARS REPREHENSIBLE THREATS TO PROSECUTE HIM OVER ICE RAIDSThe City of Chicago has allowedin over 51,000 illegal immigrants from the southern border since August 31, 2022.Speaker Johnson addressed Trumps "big, beautiful bill" a measure to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and provide new funding for the border and defense which passed the House on May 22 and is now in the Senate."We're working on the one big beautiful bill to allow them the resources that are desperately needed," he said."I mean, they are doing the job. The border is secured. We are locked down. We're not allowing illegals into the country anymore. But the enforcement and removal of the dangerous people who got here is an essential task for our ICE agents and officers to take care of. They need more personnel, they need more facilities. We're here to see it," the Speaker added.He also said that the legislation will give annual $10,000 bonusesover the next four years to ICE and Border Patrol agents "for the people on the front lines," echoing a statement from the White House.

    Travis Kelce admits returning to Chiefs, NFL for 2025 season 'wasn't a very tough decision'
    Travis Kelce entered this offseason surrounded by uncertainty. The 35-year-old faced questions about whether the Kansas City Chiefs loss to the Philadelphia Eagles would be the final time he laced up his NFL cleats.Kelce ultimately decided to continue playing the game he loves."I'm coming back for sure. Gonna try to get into the best shape I've been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop," Kelce wrote in a text message to Pat McAfee that the ESPN host read during his show. "Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and with how I got the guys ready for battle. I can't go out like that!!!!"CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThis week, Kelce indicated that while he perhaps did briefly contemplate stepping away, he never actually strongly considered retiring."I love football. I don't think I really thought about it that much," Kelce told the assembled media on Wednesday at the Chiefs minicamp. "... I love coming in to work every single day. It wasn't a very tough one for me. I know I'm getting older, but at the same time, I still feel like I've got a lot I can prove in this league. With that being said, it really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."TAYLOR SWIFT, TRAVIS KELCE TAKE IN PANTHERS-OILERS STANLEY CUP FINALKelce finished the Super Bowl loss with four receptions for 39 yards. The tight end expressed regret over his forgettable showing in the game, telling reporters he "felt like I failed my guys." But added, he "really didn't feel like it was my last game."The Chiefs have played in the last three Super Bowls, winning two. Kelce reaffirmed his desire to hoist the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy once again at the end of the upcoming season.Anything less than another championship would be a failure in Kelce's eyes. "That's the only way I determine if it's a successful (season) or not," he said. "It's just how I'm wired now."Kelce fell short of the 1,000-yard receiving mark last season. He ended the regular season with 823 yards.Kelce said he will worry about his playing future after the 2025 season. In the meantime, he is staying focused on trying to help the Chiefs be the last team standing next February."I got one year on this contract, I know that, and we'll try and figure out something for next year," Kelce said. "The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself ever playing anywhere else. We'll deal with that down the road when the time is right, but right now I'm focused on winning a championship this year."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Auburn's Bruce Pearl backs Trump during Israel-Iran conflict: 'The world is going to be a safer place'
    Auburn Tigers mens basketball head coach Bruce Pearl spoke in support of President Donald Trump Wednesday as his administration continued to weigh possible U.S. involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.The accomplished coach, who has been outspoken in his support of Israel since Hamas' October 2023 terror attacks, addressed the issue during an appearance on OutKicks"Dont @ me with Dan Dakich."He explained that he believes the U.S. has some level of interest considering its history with Iran.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We can go back and talk about 1982 in Lebanon and all those U.S. Marines that were murdered. We can talk about Oct. 7, where 45 Americans were killed. And they abducted, you know, six or seven more and executed them before Israel rescued them."This has been going on since 1979, and it is about to become a safer place, a non-nuclear Iran. And without having the money to be able to do what they have been doing, the world is going to be a safer place," he added."If the Middle East gets safer and stronger, look at what dynamic country Israel is. Look at all the unicorns that are there. Look at all the high tech and development. Look at all the wealth. If you began to spread that to some of these other Middle Eastern countries, who are they going to partner with? The United States, Russia, China? Its going to be the U.S. becauseDonald Trump has led the way to create peace and prosperity for everybody in the region."AUBURN'S BRUCE PEARL EXPLAINS WHY HE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT OF ISRAELThe president was noncommittal on the possibility of military intervention when speaking to reporters outside the White House Wednesday, saying that military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear siteshave not been ruled out entirely."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 said. "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 has pushed Iran to sign a nuclear agreement, but talks between the two scheduled for Sunday were called off after Iran withdrew days earlier. While the Trump administration weighs its options, Iran has said the U.S. entering the conflict would mean an "all-out war."Fox News Digitals Diana Stancy and Connor McGahan contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    American cyclist's global adventure derailed when 'bombs started falling' in Iran
    A Minnesota man with a dream of cycling across all seven continents was forced to come up with alternative plans after Israel launched a barrage of air strikes on Irans military leaders and nuclear facilities, close to where he was riding.The Associated Press said 32-year-old Ian Anderson of Minnetonka, Minnesota did not plan to get stuck in a real war zone, so he rode to neighboring Azerbaijan on Monday."The bombs started falling," Andersen told the wire service on Wednesday, while speaking on Zoom from a hotel in Baku. "It was extremely scary."Andersen was touring through Iran as part of a yearslong mission to ride his bike across all seven continents. While in Iran, Andersen had a local guide, and he had shared videos of his adventure with tens of thousands of followers on social media, since the beginning of June.TUGBOATS, CRUISE SHIPS AND FLIGHTS: ISRAEL BEGINS EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF CITIZENS AMID IRAN WAR"The day the bombs started falling" was Friday, and Andersen and his guide were heading south along the Caspian Sea coast, from Chalus toward the capital of Tehran.Andersen had reportedly hoped to apply for a visa to Afghanistan in Tehran, with ambitions of crossing into Central Asia and onto Russia."It was really just, like, the worst timing possible," he told the AP.Once the bombs started falling, Andersen and his guide sheltered in place and spoke Spanish to avoid people suspecting he was from the U.S.CAITLYN JENNER, STUCK IN ISRAEL AFTER IRAN STRIKE, POSTS PICTURES OF CHAOS AND SHELTERHe also said he saw long lines of vehicles fleeing Tehran, and at the same time, his own family, friends and social media followers had concerns for his safety.The U.S. State Department notified Andersen in an email that he should leave for Azerbaijan or Turkey.A friend of Andersens in Los Angeles applied for a visa to Azerbaijan on his behalf, which was ultimately granted by the U.S. Embassy in Baku.DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS CRITICIZE ISRAEL'S DEFENSIVE STRIKES AGAINST IRAN'S NUCLEAR SITESBiking, Andersen said, was his dream and escape, and in the past, he had struggled with addiction and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.And while his dream of cycling the seven continents may have hit a speed bump, he has no regrets from going on the journey.The bombs in Iran were not his only brush with death. In fact, he said he was in northern Kenya in 2023 when a tribesman threatened to chuck a spear at him while biking through a rural area."Theres always going to be risk, and you have to accept it," he said.Now that he is out of Iran, Andersen said he is planning to ferry across the Caspian Sea to Kazakhstan, then head east into Uzbekistan. But from there, Andersen said he does not know where to go.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    New York Times claims Elon Musk is 'continuing to lash out' at them over drug use report
    The New York Times accused Tesla CEO Elon Musk of "lashing out" against them on Tuesday.In May, the New York Times published a report citing "private messages" sent to them and "interviews with more than a dozen people who have known or worked with him" that alleged Musks drug use was "more intense" than publicly known as he campaigned with then-candidate Donald Trump in 2024."Mr. Musks drug consumption went well beyond occasional use," the NYT reported. "He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it."NY TIMES COLUMNIST COMPARES ELON MUSK TO HISTORYS WORST MURDERERS OVER USAID CUTSMusk repeatedly denounced the article and called out the Times by posting the results of a recent drug test on his X account Tuesday.The paper's communications team responded to the results, saying that Musk was "continuing to lash out" against them and stood by the story."Elon Musk is continuing to lash out because he doesn't like our reporting. Nothing that he's said or presented since our article about his drug use during the presidential campaign was published contradicts what we uncovered. We stand by our journalism," the NY Times Communications account wrote.The NYT gave the same response after Musk challenged the New York Times and Wall Street Journal to release the results of their own drug tests."Great idea. I hereby challenge the NYT and WSJ to take drug tests and publish the results! They wont, because those hypocrites are guilty as sin," Musk wrote.The back-and-forth between the New York Times and Musk has been ongoing since the article was published on May 30.One day after the story was published, Musk wrote on X that the NYT was "lying their a-- off" and insisted that he had not taken ketamine in years.The NY Times Communications account pushed back on Musk at the time, similarly accusing Musk of "lashing out" but with "no evidence."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Kirsten Grind and Megan Twohey's thoroughly sourced report provides an important and fair look into Musk's drug use and family conflicts. They interviewed a dozen people who have known or worked with him, and saw private text messages, legal documents and photographic evidence," the NY Times Communications account wrote. "Elon Musk is just lashing out because he doesn't like our article. We provided Musk with multiple opportunities to reply or rebut this reporting before publication and he declined, opting instead to try to distract with a social post and no evidence."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    The U.S. Navy has achieved its fiscal year 2025 recruiting goal three months ahead of schedule, positioning the maritime service branch to send more than 40,000 future Sailors to basic training by the end of the summer."More qualified and motivated Americans than ever are stepping forward and answering the call to serve their country," Secretary of the Navy John Phelan said in a statement. "The world is more complex and contested than it has been in decades, and our ability to respond starts with our greatest asset, our people."ARMY SURPASSES FISCAL 2025 RECRUITING GOAL 4 MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULEThe Navy which reached its recruiting goal on Wednesday after contracting 40,600 future sailors has been focused on connecting with "qualified" and "motivated" candidates across the U.S. The sea service's increase in recruits can be attributed to President Donald Trump's leadership as well as the dedication of the U.S. Navy's recruiters, according to Phelan."Since November, Navy recruiting has skyrocketed," he said.TRUMPS REVAMPED COAST GUARD SURGES WITH SKYROCKETING RECRUITING TO SECURE MARITIME BORDERS: DHS MEMOTo raise its recruitment numbers, the Navy Recruiting Command established a Recruiting Operations Center to monitor data in real time. The maritime service branch also streamlined medical waiver reviews and improved the productivity of recruiters by identifying and removing barriers, among other efforts, according to the Navy.While the military branch has already surpassed its recruitment goal, the Navy continues to process applicants."Reaching our annual goal this early is a testament to the dedication and innovation of our recruiting force," Rear Adm. Jim Waters, commander of Navy Recruiting Command, said in a statement.

In FY 2025, the Coast Guard has recruited more than 4,700 new members, which is 1,200 more than it had at the same time last year.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe U.S. Navy did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
