Here's how the operation worked: At 3:51 p.m., People's Forum foot soldiers rolled a wagon packed with pre-made signs onto the steps of the New York Public Library. Signs branded by the Party for Socialism and Liberation declared "WAR CRIMINALS NOT WELCOME" and "NEW YORK REJECTS ZIONISM." Field marshals assigned positions. Paid staff — including the People's Forum education director earning $78,649, according to IRS filings — directed crowd movement, recruitment and messaging.

TROJAN HORSE: Fox News Digital's @AsraNomani @MizellPreston @M_Dorgan tracked Jodie Evans, the wife of Shanghai-based tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, as she marched through Midtown Manhattan alongside paid staff, pre-made signs and rolling wagons in a scripted four-hour anti-Israel demonstration organized by groups her husband bankrolled with $285 million.

Evans, co-founder of CodePink, marched alongside activists from the People's Forum, the Revolutionary Communists of America and the Democratic Socialists of America as self-declared "comrades" chanted "Globalize the intifada." The People's Forum alone received $22.4 million from Singham.

When asked by Fox News Digital about her husband's funding, Evans deflected: "He's not been in the United States for six-and-a-half years."

The operation involved assigned field marshals, paid nonprofit staff, portable sound equipment, a stage, coordinated slogans and a media team producing content designed to make the march look like a spontaneous eruption of grassroots anger.

By 8:08 p.m., @FoxNews Digital watched protesters roll their carts back to the People's Forum headquarters on W. 37th Street. Congressional lawmakers have called the groups "Trojan horses" for the Chinese Communist Party.

DHS fires a direct warning at Mexican cartels after 378 drones were detected conducting hostile surveillance of American personnel along the southern border in just over one month.

Of those 378 detections, 75 cartel drones were turned back, 15 were engaged, and one was captured. The Department of War and DHS are now expanding counter-drone technology along the border, working with private companies to develop new interception tools to neutralize the threat.

The cartels aren't using the drones to smuggle drugs or people — they're running overhead reconnaissance on Border Patrol agents and soldiers, tracking their movements in real time to plan how to push illegal crossings between ports of entry. Federal officials say the counter-drone operations have already produced what they call the steepest reduction in U.S. casualties inflicted by cartels in American history.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen was formally beatified Thursday in St. Louis, drawing President Trump and Pope Leo XIV into a celebration of the Catholic broadcaster who captivated 30 million viewers with nothing but a chalkboard and a message about faith, morality and the dangers of communism.

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles told Fox News Digital that Sheen could deliver the exact same message today and be instantly branded a "far-right extremist." Knowles argued Sheen's unapologetic Catholic teachings on sex, marriage, human nature and anti-communism would put him squarely in the crosshairs of modern cancel culture — but that the archbishop would have "the last laugh in heaven."

Sheen's beatification rests on a miracle attributed to his intercession: a child born in 2010 without a heartbeat or respiration who revived after 61 minutes and recovered to full health. Pope Francis approved the miracle in 2019, and Pope Leo XIV — who himself encountered Sheen's evangelization growing up — gave final approval for Thursday's ceremony.

Black bishop Earl Walker Jackson torches Democrats for claiming minorities can't get IDs, calling the argument "deeply insulting" and "deeply offensive" in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.

Jackson, a nondenominational Christian leader and descendant of enslaved ancestors, fired back after a Reuters investigation found 30,000 noncitizens erroneously registered to vote across 11 states. He says every noncitizen vote cancels out a legal citizen's ballot — and Democrats know it.

"Why the Democrats are so committed to this can only be explained one way: they think it empowers people who shouldn't vote to vote, and they believe those people are going to vote for them," Jackson charged. A Heritage Foundation election integrity expert says the 30,000 figure is likely an undercount.

The Supreme Court is about to take up a case that could reshape how the government seizes property from Americans — and it all started with a six-pack of beer.

Kenneth Jouppi, an 82-year-old Air Force veteran, ran a one-man air taxi service in Alaska using his 1969 Cessna. In 2012, state troopers found alcohol on his plane while he was preparing to fly a customer and her groceries to a remote village that had banned alcohol. He was convicted of a misdemeanor, sentenced to three days in jail and a $1,500 fine. Alaska then seized his $95,000 airplane — his sole source of income outside Social Security.

The case now heads to the Supreme Court, which will decide whether that forfeiture violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on excessive fines. Legal experts say the ruling could finally set clear limits on government asset forfeiture, a practice civil libertarians have fought for decades. The court has only ruled on the excessive fines clause five times and has never defined exactly what constitutes an excessive fine.

President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington just after signing a new Greenland security agreement.

The pact, once in force, would expand the U.S. military position in Greenland while restricting non-NATO military activity and certain sensitive investments there.

The timing put China’s long-running Arctic ambitions — including interest in Greenland’s infrastructure and critical minerals — in sharper focus during Xi’s visit.

EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas rips Russia's escalating sabotage campaign across Europe, warning it's a deliberate strategy to intimidate the West into abandoning Ukraine.

Kallas, who spent her first 14 years under Soviet rule in Estonia and whose mother was deported to Siberia as an infant during Stalin's mass deportations, told Fox News Digital that Moscow's provocations will only grow more aggressive if they succeed. "What is important for us is that we are not afraid," she said. "Because otherwise this kind of intimidation actually pays off, and then we will see more of it across the world."

Two powerful federal courts with nationwide reach could soon draw judges from far beyond Washington.

The Federal Circuit and Court of Federal Claims currently require judges to live within 50 miles of D.C.

Now, an unlikely bipartisan duo is pushing to scrap the rule and open the bench to talent nationwide.

Climate lawsuits targeting fossil fuel companies could cost American households an extra $1,465 per year in higher gas prices, electricity bills and everyday expenses, according to a new analysis from the Heritage Foundation and Power the Future.

The report examines more than 300 pending lawsuits, three state laws, 12 state legislative proposals and one federal bill — and its authors say the estimate is conservative because many of the lawsuits don't even specify the damages they seek, leaving potential court awards completely open-ended.

Energy companies alone could face $194 billion in additional annual costs that would be passed directly to consumers, adding roughly 41 cents per gallon of gas and hiking residential electricity rates by about 8.6%. The Supreme Court is set to hear a case next month out of Boulder, Colorado, that could shape the entire future of climate litigation.

POCKET RESCISSION: Trump moves to cancel $810 million in congressionally approved spending, targeting programs that fund refugee services, diversity initiatives, and what the White House calls "Woke International Education" — including doctoral dissertations on "queer and trans community building in foreign countries."

Sen. Susan Collins ripped the move as an illegal attempt to "undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse."

TARIFF DEAL: Trump and Xi agree to slash tariffs on $30 billion in goods after a three-day summit in Washington — the most significant cooldown in the trade war since it began in early 2025.

The deal covers U.S. agricultural exports, medical devices, cosmetics, fish and seafood headed to China, while Chinese-made small appliances, toys, holiday decorations and children's car seats get preferential treatment entering the U.S. The agreement was brokered through the newly established U.S.-China Board of Trade, a body first proposed during Trump's visit to China in May.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said final tariff rates and the full product list have not been released yet, with more details expected Monday. The two countries will continue using the Board of Trade to negotiate further reductions, leaving the door open for broader agreements in the months ahead.

Sen. Ted Cruz says the growing national debate over AI and data centers is being driven by a "deliberate, organized effort" — with China at the center.

The Senate Commerce Committee chairman told Fox News Digital that the spike in anti-data center sentiment on social media isn't organic. He compared it to Middle Eastern countries funding anti-fracking campaigns in the U.S.: convince Americans to reject domestic development, then fill the vacuum yourself. Cruz says China is running the same playbook on AI.

OpenAI has already banned two clusters of ChatGPT accounts likely originating from China that were generating social media content designed to turn Americans against data centers — including images illustrating rising electricity costs. Meanwhile, a philanthropic movement called "effective altruism" has funneled over $519 million into AI policy advocacy, with plans to exceed $1 billion in 2026. Cruz calls it a "money grab" by "hardcore leftists" who want to use AI to push their ideology and lock out competition.

OPERATION SAFE COMMUNITY: ICE arrests 426 people across Indiana in a five-day sweep targeting sex offenders, drug traffickers, domestic abusers and weapons violators — and Sen. Jim Banks says the bust in his state proves exactly why Trump's immigration crackdown needs to be written into law before a future administration can undo it.

Banks is pushing a seven-bill immigration package that would codify border security measures, birthright citizenship rules, H-1B visa reforms and more. His argument: executive enforcement alone is temporary. "If this could happen in Indiana, it could happen anywhere," he said.

But Banks isn't just going after Democrats. He's firing at his own party too, ripping the Republican-led Senate for failing to pass the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. "That's one of my biggest disappointments with this Republican Senate," he said.

One of the exhibit's most striking artifacts belongs to John Weissenheimer, a Union soldier who enlisted in the 107th Ohio Volunteer Infantry in his late 40s — older than most men who fought. His German-speaking unit endured Gettysburg and other brutal engagements. He eventually ended up at Lincoln Hospital in D.C., serving in the Invalid Corps for soldiers too wounded or sick for front-line duty.

No memoir survived. No letters. Just his Bible — battered but kept. "If not for this Bible," curator Wesley Viner said, Weissenheimer would be "largely a forgotten name."

American troops carried pocket-sized Bibles encased in thin metal over their hearts during World War II, fueling stories that the books could stop a bullet. The Museum of the Bible's new "Bible in Times of War" exhibit reveals the truth is less cinematic — the metal covers were unlikely to stop high-speed ammunition — but the real power of the so-called Heart Shield Bibles was never about ballistics.

Inside the covers, handwritten notes from mothers and wives survive decades later. "To my dear boy, may God keep you safe," one reads. Another simply says, "praying for you at Christmas." In many cases, historians don't know who wrote the messages or who received them. The anonymity makes them more powerful, not less.

The exhibit traces how Scripture traveled with American service members from the Civil War through Korea and even to Antarctica — not as armor, but as something soldiers carried when they had nothing else to hold onto.

Trump reaffirms ICE agents can arrest any illegal immigrant after confusing internal guidance sparked alarm across field offices nationwide.

Verbal instructions distributed earlier this week told agents to prioritize the "worst first," a directive that ICE sources described as shocking and frustrating. The administration now says it was a "miscommunication" — not a formal policy shift — and new guidance was sent to field offices Saturday evening making clear that enforcement has not been scaled back.

Trump told Fox News that anyone in the country illegally remains "on the table" for arrest and deportation, including so-called "collaterals" — individuals encountered during operations targeting someone else.

ARCTIC RESOURCES: Trump's new Greenland security deal with Denmark isn't just about military bases — it's about what's buried under the ice.

Greenland sits on potentially massive deposits of rare earth minerals, nickel, copper, cobalt and palladium that the U.S. currently depends on China and Russia to supply. One American company already drilling on Disko Island says the region could rival Russia's Norilsk district, one of the largest mining zones on the planet.

The island's eastern coast may also hold oil reserves in a geological system similar to the North Sea. With the Strait of Hormuz under pressure from the war with Iran and Ukraine's conflict exposing energy infrastructure vulnerabilities, Greenland's unproven but potentially enormous resource base is taking on new strategic weight. The deal, expected to be signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, would expand the U.S. military footprint while keeping Greenland under Danish sovereignty.
