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.

Judge orders DHS to release Maine teen from Texas facility
PORTLAND (WGME) – A Portland woman who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.
That’s according to Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who traveled to the facility this week to demand that ICE release 19-year-old Olivia Andre.
Pingree says a federal district court judge ordered Andre to be released no later than Friday.
Andre and her family were arrested by ICE when they were seeking asylum in Canada.
DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn’t.
Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre’s lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
“Olivia and her family should never have been detained. The federal court ordered her release because the Trump administration had no lawful basis for detaining her,” Pingree said. “She suffered in detention for six months in violation of federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s protections.”
Virginia
Virginia Beach to spend $1M on positive ad blitz following shootings, curfew
Atlantic Avenue Association hopes to attract locals with “Own the Beach”
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — People living in or near cities like Washington D.C., Charlotte, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh could soon be seeing a fresh batch of advertisements promoting the Oceanfront resort.
Tuesday, City Council voted unanimously to spend $1 million to fund the SURGE campaign. It’s an immediate ad blitz designed to combat any negative sentiments potential visitors may have garnered by recent events, according to Deputy City Manager Amanda Jarratt.
Saturday night shootings in March and April left total of 14 people injured at the resort. As a result, City Council instituted an all-ages curfew at 9:30 p.m. for weekends — later overturned — that business owners said effectively turned off the city’s economic engine and communicated an unwelcoming message.
Jarratt said the campaign looks to leave all that in the past.
“Over the last few weeks, unfortunately, we’ve experienced several issues that have potentially have negative impact on our perception and reputation,” Jarratt said. “And so this is a concerted effort to actively reinforce our family-friendly brand and maintain focus on increased visitor tourism for this 2026 resort season.”
The city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau will focus on “the drive and fly markets” in proximity to Virginia Beach, with digital media placements with streaming services and online travel platforms.
The city hasn’t tracked an overwhelming negative reaction to events this spring, Jarratt said, but “felt it best to be proactive.”
“While there may be some concern over gas prices, certainly airline prices have increased as well, … we feel like more individuals are going to be traveling domestically, and we want to ensure that they are visiting the city of Virginia Beach,” Jarratt said.
The money for the ads comes from the Tourism Advertising Program Special Revenue Fund. Traditionally $11.4 million each year is spent on marketing, according to Jarratt. She points to the $2.6 billion in 2024 visitor spending as return on investment.
“I think it’s terrific,” said George Kotarides, owner of Dough Boy’s Pizza. “I applaud them for doing that. But we’re hoping that we can move into a more localized campaign in conjunction.”
Saturday, the Atlantic Avenue Association has organized “Own the Beach.” Kotarides, who founded the association, helped to organize the effort out of concern for the resort’s reputation in the region following the last two months.
“It’s quiet, you know? It’s not as active as it normally is,” Kotarides said. “So we’re hoping that this creates a little bit of energy.”
Own The Beach is a campaign where, so far, nearly 60 businesses have agreed to offer $10 deals on Saturday.
“We got amusements, attractions, dessert and sweets, restaurants, bars, parking, there’s a couple parking lots offering $10 all day parking, so there’s a lot of different businesses that are participating,” Kotarides said.
He called it a pilot program, of sorts, to see if it attracts locals for a day.
“We just need to take this as an opportunity, really, to start fresh and do something new and different and try to make a little lemonade out of lemons, if you will, and get people together, get the community together,” Kotarides said.
