The vice president visits Greenland,

Elise Stefanik returns to house leadership,

and a warning to foreign students

from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley.
It's Friday, March 28th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update. Vice President J.D.
Vance and other U.S. officials are set to arrive in Greenland today for a one-day visit.
Daily Wire reporter Amanda Presta-Giacomo has details on the trip. Vance will touch down at a U.S.
military installation in the northwest of Greenland. The delegation includes Vance's wife Usha, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
They'll meet with U.S. troops stationed at the base, which operates under an agreement with Denmark.
The trip's plans shifted after Greenland officials and residents expressed reluctance to host the American visitors. Originally, Usha Vance was scheduled to attend a dog sled race and visit a travel agency in the capital, but those plans were canceled following local objections.
President Trump has emphasized Greenland's strategic importance to U.S. security, citing its vast size and resources, though a recent poll shows that most of the island's 56,000 residents oppose joining the United States.
The visit comes amid heightened U.S. interest in the Arctic region, with Vance's office stressing the need for improved security infrastructure in Greenland.
Here's J.D. Vance speaking about the trip on Tuesday.
A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course to threaten the people of Greenland. Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it's important to protecting the security of the entire world.
Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long. That's been bad for Greenland.
It's also been bad for the security of the entire world. We think we can take things in a different direction.
The Trump administration has withdrawn the nomination of Elise Stefanik as U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce tells us why. The White House is urging New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to stay in the House to preserve Republicans' slim majority and help President Trump's America First agenda.
Stefanik cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back in January, but never reached a full Senate vote. Trump praised Stefanik as absolutely fantastic on True Social, citing her leadership value over risking her seat in a special election.
Speaker Mike Johnson praised Stefanik as a devoted patriot and offered her a leadership position in the House. A replacement pick for UN ambassador has not yet been named.
Lawmakers grilled the acting chief of the FAA Thursday over the January 29th midair collision near Reagan National Airport. Daily Wire senior editor Ash Short has the story.

In this testimony, the FAA's acting chief, Chris Rochelow,

insisted that flying remains safe despite the recent DCA crash with a helicopter that killed 67 people.

The FAA has since banned most helicopter traffic near the airport

and will mandate a tracking feature, ADS-B Out, to boost safety, even as the Army resists the move due to surveillance fears. Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington asked a question on most Americans' minds during the hearing.
Why did the FAA not act on 15,000 reports of dangerous proximity? How were these helicopter routes allowed to remain when alarm bells were literally

A 30-year-old Turkish student studying at Tufts University in Massachusetts was detained by ICE Tuesday and moved to a detention center in Louisiana.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio

addressed her case on Thursday,

warning that the Trump administration

won't tolerate foreign students on visas

who join violent demonstrations

and disrupt college campuses.

We revoked her visa.

It's an F-1 visa, I believe.

We revoked it, and here's why.

And I'll say it again. I said it everywhere.
Let me be abundantly clear. If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you're coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we're not going to give you a visa.

If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa participate in that sort of activity,

we're going to take away your visa.

And once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States.

And we have a right, like every country in the world has a right, to remove you from our country.

So it's just that simple.

We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses. And if we've given you a visa and then you decide to do that, we're going to take it away.
A Las Vegas man was arrested Wednesday for a Molotov cocktail attack against Tesla vehicles. Paul Kim faces state and federal charges for damaging five Tesla vehicles on March 18th.
The 36-year-old's arrest follows a high-profile vandalism spree targeting Tesla sites nationwide. Police use surveillance video, bullet fragments, and cell phone records to tie Kim to the 3 a.m.
arson attack. The FBI is labeling such acts domestic terrorism and has launched a task force investigating similar incidents.
Mississippi has just eliminated its state income tax. The governor signed it into law on Thursday.
Mississippi now joins Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming as an income tax-free state. Governor Tate Reeves promoted the bill as a game changer which will attract businesses to the state.
Our people should be rewarded for hard work, not punished, and that Mississippi has the potential to be a magnet for opportunity, a magnet for investment, and a magnet for talent, and for families looking to build a better life. And it's a big weekend for sports.
We just had baseball's opening day and basketball's March Madness heats back up. Crane & Company's David Cohn has all the action.
Major League Baseball is underway. Teams that began the season with victories include the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and White Sox.
The Baltimore Orioles also won, defeating the Blue Jays 12-2, thanks in part to outfielder Tyler O'Neal's three-run home run in the third inning. O'Neal's homer extended his Major League record of homering for a sixth straight opening day.
The NCAA basketball tournament has entered its second weekend with Sweet 16 action.

Duke, Alabama, Florida, and Texas Tech all won last night,

while tonight's matchups include Michigan State versus Ole Miss,

Auburn versus Michigan, Tennessee versus Kentucky, and Houston versus Purdue.

Those are your drive-home updates this afternoon.
