April 24th, 2025: Cartels Deploy New Tactics At The Border & Abbas Torches Hamas
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:
We begin at the southern border, where Trump’s immigration crackdown is pressuring Mexican cartels to shift tactics—some now targeting Americans in alarming new ways.
Then, a deadly terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir leaves dozens dead. A known militant group has claimed responsibility, and Indian forces are already responding with major force.
Plus, Hamas signals willingness to release hostages under a new truce proposal—but the Palestinian Authority isn’t buying it. President Mahmoud Abbas publicly blasts the group and demands they disarm.
And in today’s Back of the Brief: The Trump administration files the first-ever RICO charges against members of the violent migrant gang Tren de Aragua, signaling a new phase in the crackdown on transnational criminal organizations.
