DOD sends over 1,000 additional troops to help bolster southern border efforts
The Department of Defense (DOD) is sending 1,140 additional U.S. troops to the southern border of the United States to help bolster the efforts of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to control the influx of illegal immigrants.
“The DOD continues to work with the Department of Homeland Security to fill critical capabilities gaps at the southern border in accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order, ‘Protecting the American People Against Invasion,’” U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) said.
There are currently 4,300 U.S. active-duty troops at the southern border, and an additional 1,140 troops will bring the total to 5,440 active-duty service members.
USNORTHCOM said the additional troops will provide support to joint task force operations, including command and control of sustainable units and coordination of logistical support, field feeding support sites and control of logistical movement.

The Army units being deployed will come from the 101st Division Sustainment Brigade, Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Alpha Company, 189th Division Sustainment Support Battalion (DSSB), Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Bravo Company, 68th DSSB, Fort Carson, Colorado; Charlie Company, 129th DSSB, Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 264th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, Fort Bragg, North Carolina; 70th Movement Control Team, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia; and 564th Quartermaster Company, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.
The Trump administration has designated eight gangs and cartels, including Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa Cartel and MS-13, foreign terrorist organizations in a move that expands the U.S. government’s ability to crack down on criminal organizations operating in its territory.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the time of the announcement this month there was a “sufficient factual basis” under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to issue the designations against the gangs and cartels.
The Trump administration also began sending flights of illegal immigrants to the Guantánamo Bay detention site in Cuba earlier this month.

Around 30,000 “criminal illegal aliens” could be held at the base that once housed hundreds of prisoners, only 15 of whom were left before Trump began sending migrants there.

Suspect arrested in deadly party shooting by Oklahoma lake
Edmond Police Department says no fatalities from Arcadia Lake shooting
Sergeant James Hamm with the Edmond Police Department said there were zero fatalities out of the 23 confirmed individuals injured in a shooting at Arcadia Lake on Sunday.
EDMOND, OK − An 18-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday, May 6, in connection with a mass shooting that left one woman dead and 22 others injured at an “unsanctioned party” by an Oklahoma lake, police said.
Jaylan Davis, of Oklahoma City, was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon in response to the shooting, according to police. Gunfire erupted during a nighttime party on May 3 at Arcadia Lake near the Scissortail Campground in Edmond, a suburb of north Oklahoma City.
During a news conference on May 6, Edmond Police Chief J.D. Younger said the initial charge against Davis was in the process of being upgraded to felony murder after an 18-year-old woman died from injuries sustained during the shooting. Police identified her as Avianna Smith-Gray.
Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna confirmed in a news release that Davis will be charged with felony murder in the first degree over the shooting death “at the unsanctioned gathering.” His bond had been set at $1 million on a complaint of assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
Investigators believe the incident began with a “disturbance” between two people attending the gathering and escalated into an altercation between rival gang members, Younger said. Authorities also believe that there is at least one more suspect in the shooting.
“During the altercation, multiple subjects produced firearms and discharged in excess of 80 rounds, striking numerous individuals,” Younger said at the news conference.
What happened in the Oklahoma party shooting?
The shooting took place shortly after 9 p.m. local time on May 3 at Arcadia Lake, according to police. Officers were already responding to an 8:51 p.m. call on May 3 of loud music at a party at the lake when the shooting occurred, Younger said.
A total of 23 victims had gunfire-related injuries, including six “juveniles as young as 15 years of age,” according to the police chief.
Police previously said the incident occurred during an “unsanctioned party that began after dark and was advertised across multiple social media platforms, drawing a large crowd of young adults from across the metro area.” The party was not a permitted or reserved gathering, according to police.
Authorities had received multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired and responding officers located multiple people with injuries “ranging in severity,” police previously reported.
A person of interest in the shooting told investigators that Davis was “the primary aggressor,” a police detective said in an arrest affidavit. The person of interest said Davis was a member of the North Highland Piru gang and had recently gotten into a fight with “a known member of Hoover,” according to the affidavit.
The person “advised that this fight caused havoc between Jaylan and the Hoover gang members in Oklahoma City,” the affidavit states. The person also said a shooting victim, Daviion Wyckoff, told him in a phone call that Davis, also known as 3zzy, “arrived at the party and started shooting,” according to the affidavit.
Police previously identified suspect in shooting as member of a gang
In a May 4 search of the suspect’s home, police found ammunition that was the same brand as spent casings recovered from the crime scene, according to the affidavit. His mother said he had left on May 3 to attend a party at Lake Hefner with two of his friends, the affidavit states.
Davis has been arrested before, including after drive-by shootings in Oklahoma City in 2023 and 2024, court records show. Oklahoma City police described him in a 2024 court affidavit as a member of the North Highland Park Blood gang.
He has been prosecuted in Oklahoma County District Court both as a juvenile and as a youthful offender, the court records show. A March 27 “treatment and service plan” filed in court called for him to “explore positive alternatives to living a gang lifestyle.”
He turned himself in on the morning of May 6 to the U.S. Marshals Service, officials said. He was taken to the Edmond Police Department and was arrested.
Victim remembered as a ‘loving’ and ‘caring’ person
Police had confirmed on May 5 that “an 18-year-old young woman has passed away from injuries sustained in the Arcadia Lake shooting.” The chief medical examiner confirmed her body was being examined on May 6.
“Our thoughts are with her loved ones, as well as all those affected by this tragic incident,” police said in a statement on Facebook.
The victim was identified by police and on a GoFundMe page as Smith-Gray. On the GoFundMe page, Smith-Gray’s sister described her as a “loving” and “caring” person.
“She was good with kids doesn’t matter the age they all just happen to love her, she loved to dance, do hair, sing & so much more,” the online fundraiser states. “My sister was so talented a very good athlete and she was so so smart.”
“Avianna was so full of life and loved spending time with her family, friends, her boyfriend,” Smith-Gray’s sister wrote on the GoFundMe page. “She was 18 years old, just graduated and was waiting to walk that stage!”

Former South Carolina QB Stephen Garcia diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer at 38 years old
A former college football star is now fighting cancer at 38 years old.
Stephen Garcia, a quarterback for four years at South Carolina, revealed on social media Wednesday that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
A GoFundMe page, organized by his wife Maria that has already garnered nearly $100K in donations, said that after a trip to the emergency room and multiple imaging tests, Garcia was diagnosed with cancer and was set to begin chemotherapy. He is now on an “aggressive” track, and “he will be meeting with specialized liver and colon surgeons to determine the next steps in his treatment plan.”
Garcia took to Facebook to share the GoFundMe link and said he is confident he will be able to overcome the diagnosis.
“Wasn’t overly excited to share this news but it is what it is. We have a great team of doctors and staff that’s confident we can beat this! It’s the only option,” he wrote. “If there’s one lesson to be learned, get checked and don’t be afraid to visit the doctors office when you don’t feel 100%.”
He later thanked everyone for their support on his Instagram story.
Garcia had a prolific career with the Gamecocks, throwing for 7,597 yards and 49 touchdowns. In 2009, as a sophomore, he led the SEC with 239 completions before throwing a career-high 3,059 yards with 20 touchdowns during the next campaign, as South Carolina finished at No. 22 in the final poll of the season.
His 20 wins rank tied for third-most in program history. Garcia later spent time in the CFL, AFL and AAF after his college football days.
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer said he is “praying” for the former QB.

“I talked to Stephen about an hour ago, actually, and he was in great spirits,” Beamer said Wednesday in Columbia, according to The State. “Then texting back and forth since we talked on the phone about an hour ago and told him to attack this thing with the same mindset that he’s attacked everything going back to when he was a player here and still is now as a human being.
“Told him I got his back, and we all have his back. Just praying hard for him right now.”
