I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Wednesday, April 23rd, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
Federal immigration agents have hunted down and arrested over 200 known or suspected terrorists since January. That's an astounding 655% increase from last year.
Among those detained is Harpreet Singh, one of India's most wanted men. He's allegedly linked to a Pakistan-based terror group and accused of plotting grenade attacks on Indian police.
Officials say Singh entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and evaded capture until last week when ICE agents tracked him down in Sacramento.
A battle is brewing in Southern California to keep an illegal immigrant and convicted killer behind bars. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.
Back in 2021, Oscar Ortega Anguiano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was severely under the influence when he crashed into a car carrying two 19-year-olds at nearly 100 miles per hour. Both teens died in the crash.
Ortega Anguiano

was sentenced to 10 years for gross vehicular manslaughter, but could be released over six

years early. ICE has issued a detainer for his arrest, but California's sanctuary policies could

stand in the way of enforcement. Ortega Anguiano has already been deported twice and returned

illegally. Now, families of the victims are urging the state to stop his early release,

calling it a slap in the face and a threat to public safety. They wrote a letter to the state asking for Ortega-Aguiano to serve his full sentence.
It's confusing to me. Why you give them 10 if they're gonna spend five and then three? You get two young, productive American citizens killed for nothing.
And that illegal immigrant who already has been deported twice is going to be released again. Meanwhile, border czar Tom Homan has promised to deport him.
He's been deported several times since he's a felon. We enter the country and deploy deportation as a felony.
We will prosecute him and we will deport him. I'll make that commitment.
I'll work with Secretary Norton to make sure that happens. President Trump has ordered more troops to the Middle East in response to the ongoing attacks from the Houthis in Yemen.
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has the latest. The president confirmed in a letter to Congress that U.S.
Central Command has already launched large-scale strikes on Houthi leadership, weapons depots and command centers. He said these operations will

continue until the threat is neutralized. The additional forces include air and missile defense systems, fighter jets, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.
They're aimed at protecting U.S. troops and allies like Israel and will enable precision strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
The president cited multiple attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on commercial vessels and U.S. forces in the Red Let's see.

President Donald Trump warned Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that he has a choice, peace or prolong a losing war. On Truth Social, Trump criticized Zelensky's rejection of a proposed peace plan that would leave Crimea under Russian control, calling the stance very harmful to ongoing negotiations.
Trump argued that Crimea was lost during the Obama administration and questioned why Ukraine didn't resist the annexation back in 2014. His remarks come as diplomats meet in London to discuss potential paths forward to ending the war, now entering its third year.
Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's number two Democrat, announced that he won't seek re-election in 2026. The 80-year-old, who was first elected in 1996, said in a video post to Twitter that it's time to, quote, pass the torch.
The people of Illinois have honored me with this responsibility longer than anyone elected to the Senate in our state's history. I'm truly grateful.
Fellow Senator Tammy Duckworth called Durbin a mentor and a giant in the chamber. His departure sets the stage for a high-profile race in a mostly blue state.
The World Economic Forum is investigating its founder, Klaus Schwab, just days after he stepped down. The probe follows whistleblower claims of unethical conduct and misuse of funds.
Schwab and his wife are accused of using WEF resources for personal luxuries, including travel and massages. After the allegations came to light in an anonymous letter from current and former staff, Schwab immediately stepped down.
While Schwab denies the allegations, the WEF says it's taking the claims seriously as it awaits results. The Supreme Court appears poised to side with parents over whether they can opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed storybooks in schools.
Daily Wire reporter Mireta Lordi details what could be a landmark ruling. The case, Mahmood v.
Taylor, centers on a Maryland school board's refusal to allow parental exemptions from language arts materials featuring same-sex weddings and pride events. Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch questioned whether young children could be passively exposed to content without it becoming coercive, especially when guidance to teachers discourages dissenting views.
Chief Justice Roberts expressed concern that children as young as five may not distinguish between instruction and affirmation. Meanwhile, Justice Kavanaugh asked why the county allows other types of opt-outs, but not this.
They're not asking you to change what's taught in the classroom. They're not asking you to change that at all.
A lot of the rhetoric suggests that they were trying to do that, but that's not what they're trying to do. They're only seeking to be able to walk out so that they don't have to, the parents don't have their children exposed to these things that are contrary to their own beliefs.
The school board argued that curriculum exposure does not compel belief. A ruling could come as soon as June.
And former TV host Steve Hilton is officially running for governor of California. Hilton, who previously advised British Prime Minister David Cameron, launched his campaign earlier this week with a message attacking California's Democratic leadership and invoking Vice President Kamala Harris as a symbol of what he calls years of Democrat failure.
Hilton joins Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco in the GOP field for the 2026 race. His campaign will test whether conservatives can regain momentum in a state long dominated by Democrats.
Hilton is scheduled to hold his first campaign event Tuesday in Huntington Beach. All right, those are your drive home updates this afternoon.
