"Democrats Will Help Us": Caravans March North as Dems Vow to Reopen the Border. President Trump Won't Let It Happen.
November 12, 2026
Days after the midterms, caravans of illegal aliens are already marching north to the U.S. -- and they're counting on Democrats to let them in. Why wouldn't they? Congressional Democrats are vowing to abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, stop deportations, and hand out amnesty while border-state Democrats cut off cooperation on immigration enforcement. It's the same open borders agenda that unleashedthe worst border crisis in American history, but President Donald J. Trump isn't letting Democrats bring it back.
The caravan, in its own words:
* "There might be a light at the end of the tunnel, a way for us to get in... We believe the Democrats will help us," said a Nicaraguan migrant who had already been deported once from the United States.
* "We know that the Democrats are not going to let a point as big as the Latino vote be lost and I think they are going to give us the opportunity to reach to our new homes," said a migrant traveling with the caravan.
* "We hear that [...] now that Congress has changed, the border has to be open. We have faith in God that [Democrats] will help us," said a migrant heading for the border.
* "From what we've seen in the news, yes, that is [Democrats'] intention," said a Guatemalan migrant traveling north.
Since the election, Democrats have reinforced those expectations:
* Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (11/9/26): "ICE is way out of control. We need to put an end to Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine."
* Rep. Ayanna Pressley (11/12/26): "With our new Democratic majority, we must defend our immigrant neighbors... abolish ICE, and extend TPS."
* Rep. Rashida Tlaib (11/10/26): "Abolish ICE now."
* Rep.-elect Claire Valdez (11/8/26): "We have the mandate to... abolish ICE."
* Rep. Delia Ramirez (11/8/26): "Together, we will dismantle DHS and abolish ICE."
* Rep. Pramila Jayapal (11/8/26): "Reining in ICE and getting ICE off of our streets is another massive priority..."
* Rep. Ayanna Pressley (11/8/26): "Democrats have a mandate to abolish ICE, shut down detention centers..."
* Rep. Juan Vargas (11/8/26): "We need the people that are being deported."
* Sen. Alex Padilla (11/4/26): "Americans have spoken. We're sick of ICE and DHS' lawlessness and cruelty. It's time to rein them in..."
Border-state Democrats are already tearing down enforcement:
* Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa (11/6/26): Strict border enforcement "was a dog-and-pony show. It was political theater and nonsense."
* Texas Lt. Gov.-elect Vikki Goodwin (11/9/26): "We need to make sure law enforcement is not aiding and abetting ICE here in Texas."
* Houston Mayor John Whitmire (11/9/26): "We will change our policy regarding contact with ICE... Elections matter."
* San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones (11/6/26): "Elections matter."
* Austin Mayor Kirk Watson (11/6/26): "I've said Austin 'cannot and will not play into or perpetuate a policy of fear' when it comes to immigration... With the change in state leadership, I anticipate being able to better partner with the state on issues... including those related to civil immigration enforcement."
President Trump shut the border down -- and it's staying shut:
* President Donald J. Trump (11/12/26): "Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms - I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico... But they will not be accepted! MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED... There will be no leniency!"
* White House Border Czar Tom Homan (11/11/26): "Congress may be more blue, Texas may be more blue, but the White House is red, bright red... These caravans [can] come to the border all they want. They're not going to be released into the United States... We're not giving one inch on this border."
* DHS General Counsel James Percival (11/12/26): "If they do reach the southern border, they're going to find a Border Patrol that is extremely ready. The President is still the President. The midterms don't change that -- and we are very prepared to deal with this."

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- Members of the Kaiserslautern Military Community attended a Hiring Our Heroes event which brought them together with civilian employers to connect job seekers with employment resources and career opportunities here, Oct. 29.
Hosted by the Military and Family Readiness Center, the event featured informationalpresentations and a job fair designed to help members of the KMC navigate the civilian workforce, explore career options and build professional connections to empower them in their transition from the military.
"Hiring Our Heroes is a nonprofit organization that is designed to help service members, military spouses, caregivers and veterans with the transition process from military to civilian professional life," said Lauren Earl, MFRC supervisory community readiness consultant. "They offer all kinds of opportunities virtually and in-person when it comes to hiring fairs."
Military members and families living overseas often face unique employment challenges, making opportunities for career development and networking essential.
"Events like this are important because the whole idea behind this is to level the playing field for our transitioning service members and families," Earl said. "Being in Germany, our service members don't have access to a lot of the resources that you would have stateside."
In addition to retiring or separating service members, the event addressed the unique employment challenges military spouses face with a panel dedicated to their issues.
"We have our military Spouse Amplify panel to serve as a networking and professional development opportunity," Earl said. "It allows them to be with others who are in a similar situation and learn about training and internship programs that Hiring Our Heroes has to offer as well."
For those navigating the civilian employment process, access to professional guidance can make an unfamiliar job market easier to understand, said Chief Master Sgt. Katherine Hardy, U.S. Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa strategic deterrence and nuclear integration senior enlisted leader.
"When you've been in the military for any amount of time you forget about certain things," said Hardy. "There's much we don't understand about the civilian world and it's good for experts in the field to give us pointers on how to transition from military to civilian job opportunities."
The presentations and employment resources gave attendees an opportunity to ask questions and gain a better understanding of what to expect when pursuing civilian career opportunities.
"There's so many unknowns in the civilian sector," Hardy said. "It's just a lot to think about and this event helps answer all those questions."
Navigating the civilian job market can bring uncertainty, but having access to the right resources and connections can help military members and their families find a path forward.
"Whether a person is in their transition process or employment search process I want them to get what they need," Earl said. "Whether it's an opportunity or a simple connection, I hope this event will get them one step closer to their needs and their goals."
To learn more about events and professional development, contact the MFRC at 480-5100.

Trump's Transportation Department Delivers More Than $200 Million to Expand Lifesaving Prehospital Blood Transfusions for Crash Patients Across U.S.
Research shows prehospital blood transfusions lower mortality rates by 37% for trauma patients with severe bleeding
November 13, 2026
Washington, DC
The U.S. Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today announced a $202.4 million investment to establishnew or expanded prehospital blood transfusion capabilities and save more lives on U.S. roads.
As part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program, NHTSA will deliver critical funding to 66 communities across 31 states to establish new or enhance existing prehospital blood transfusion programs, including:
* $29.5 million for Arizona
* $8.7 million for California
* $8.2 million for Massachusetts
* $13.2 million for Missouri
* $9.2 million for New York
* $20 million for North Dakota
* $16 million for Oregon
* $7.3 million for Pennsylvania
* $13.9 million for South Carolina
* $16.8 million for Texas
(See the full list at bottom.)
"Prehospital blood transfusions given by emergency medical services can save thousands of lives every year," said NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison. "That's why Secretary Duffy is equipping our first responders with new innovations to administer blood at the scene of a crash to ensure more people can get home safely to their loved ones."
The Trump Administration is laser-focused on improving access to prehospital blood transfusion programs and saving more American lives. Prehospital blood transfusions performed by emergency medical services lowers mortality rates by 37% for trauma patients with severe bleeding. In rural areas, about 39% of fatal crash victims arrive at a hospital one to two hours after a crash, as compared to 10% in urban areas. For severe bleeding cases, every minute of delay in a transfusion increases a trauma victim's risk of death by 11%.
Under U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, USDOT has delivered a historic $280 million to bolster transfusion programs nationwide.
Additional Information:
The Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program supports local, regional, and tribal initiatives to prevent traffic deaths and serious injuries. Funding directly advances a key priority in the National Roadway Safety Strategy to equip emergency responders with lifesaving post-crash care tools.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 -- President Trump issued the following statement on Nov. 12, 2026, on National Native American Heritage Month:
* * *
Alaska Natives and Native Americans are inextricably linked to the history of our Republic and are integral to our glorious future. During National Native American Heritage Month, we honor the sacrifices and the innumerable contributions of tribal communities to the prosperity and success of our great Nation.
Native Americans impact communities nationwide with innovation and achievement in every area of life and culture, including business, healthcare, lawenforcement, and the highest levels of Government. They bravely answer the call to safeguard our liberty--at five times the national average--and have served with distinction in every major conflict since the Revolutionary War. This month, we pay special tribute to the Indigenous men and women who have proudly worn the uniform, past and present, in every branch of our Armed Forces.
As President, I support the empowerment of all Tribes through self-governance, self-determination, and a strong partnership with the Federal Government to foster economic development and address the most pressing challenges for our Native Americans. Last year, I returned 680 acres of federal land to the Spirit Lake Nation of North Dakota--a long-overdue restoration--now theirs to build on, farm on, and pass down to future generations. I also directed more than $1.1 billion in Indian Housing Block Grants to hundreds of Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, and Tribally Designated Housing Entities for safe and stable homes in Native communities nationwide. In January, the Bureau of Indian Education reached its highest graduation rate in its history, reflecting sustained reforms, accountability measures, and quality instruction to bolster student achievement. My Administration will continue to prioritize educational options, training, and meaningful pathways to the workforce of tomorrow so that Native students and communities can enjoy a bright and successful future.
As our Nation marks National Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the vibrant traditions and rich cultural heritage of Tribal peoples. We uphold the shared values of family, faith, and freedom, and we will never stop fighting to ensure every Native American has the opportunity to pursue the hope and promise of the American Dream.

The entrepreneurial spirit of America has been forged by the determination of generations who envisioned a Nation where every hardworking citizen can live their glorious American Dream. For over 250 years, entrepreneurs have created the strong foundation that our country has built upon to become the economic powerhouse that we are today. This National Entrepreneurship Month, we recognize the patriotic innovators whose drive and vision have created the strongest businesseconomy the world has ever seen.
Entrepreneurs are the heart of our Nation and represent a way of life that has kept America competitive, growing, and at the forefront of every serious conversation about our economy. In my first term, we built the strongest economy in the history of the world, and now we are doing it again. Through The Working Families Tax Cuts Act, my Administration made the Small Business Tax Deduction permanent, secured No Taxes on Tips and Overtime, and delivered historic tax cuts to hardworking families across our country.
I have also launched the most aggressive deregulatory agenda in American history. In my first weeks back in office, I signed the Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation Executive Order, directing federal agencies to repeal ten old regulations for every new one issued. My Administration has far surpassed that goal, cutting over 1,500 regulations and saving Americans over $1.5 trillion. These actions free small businesses from the costly red tape that for too long has stifled American entrepreneurs. This was followed by the Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers Executive Order, which roots out the obstacles that smother competition, innovation, and the formation of new businesses. Under my leadership, American entrepreneurs will have the freedom to compete, grow, and lead the world once again.
As President, I remain committed to keeping America the greatest place in the world to start and grow a business. My Administration will continue reducing regulatory burdens, combating unfair foreign trade practices, and ensuring entrepreneurs have the freedom to make decisions that will enhance their products and services.
This National Entrepreneurship Month, we reaffirm our commitment to the entrepreneurs and small business owners who keep our communities thriving with quality job opportunities and economic activity. When we support these brilliant innovators, America is stronger, our communities excel, and our ability to dream big and turn those visions into reality is unparalleled.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency today announced that they will extend, until December 16, the comment period for proposed guidance on managing risks associated with third-party relationships. Comments on the proposal were originally due November 16.
The proposed guidance reflects theagencies' supervisory experience and lessons learned from examining financial institutions' third-party risk management practices. It is intended to help banks and credit unions tailor their risk management practices to the risks associated with individual third-party relationships. The proposed guidance takes a principles-based approach and, like all supervisory guidance, is non-binding.
When finalized, the federal bank regulatory agencies plan to rescind existing third-party risk management guidance and replace it with the finalized guidance to promote consistency and prudent innovation in the banking industry. NCUA also plans to rescind its existing third-party risk management guidance and will conduct its own reviews to update related guidance as needed.
Also today, the Federal Reserve Board separately announced that it will extend, until December 16, the comment period on a proposed third-party risk management guide specifically for Federal Reserve-supervised traditional community banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 -- The Federal Communications Commission issued the following news release:
* * *
FCC Effectively Prohibits Eight Providers from Connecting to U.S. Networks for Failing to Reply to Robocall Traceback Requests
Companies Removed from FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database for Failing to Comply
-
WASHINGTON, November 13, 2026--Today, the Federal Communications Commission cut off eight voice service providers from connecting to U.S. networks for violating the agency's robocall rules - specifically, failing to respond to multiple traceback requests. All providers operating in theU.S. network are required to respond within 24 hours to all traceback requests from the Commission, law enforcement, and the industry traceback consortium. Tracebacks are used to determine where and from whom illegal robocall traffic originated and are critical to robocall investigations, blocking, and other consumer protections.
With today's action, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau removed these companies from its Robocall Mitigation Database and ordered U.S. voice service providers and intermediate providers to stop accepting calls from these providers. Following today's order, all providers operating on U.S. networks have two days to stop accepting all traffic from these companies. Since January 2025, the Commission has removed more than 1,400 companies from the RMD for failing to comply with Commission rules.
Enforcement Bureau Chief Hunter Deeley issued the following statement:
"The FCC is cracking down on the scourge of illegal robocalls by tackling the problem at every stage of a call's lifecycle. Tracebacks are a fundamental tool for this effort, helping investigators find bad actors and industry to block illegal traffic. If a provider wants to operate in U.S. phone networks, they must consistently, quickly, and accurately respond to these requests and support our efforts to protect consumer from scammers."
Additional Background Information:
The eight companies removed from the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database today had been ordered to correct deficiencies in their database certifications and show cause why they should not be removed. But these companies failed to respond or take meaningful steps to update their database filings. The removed providers are: Advantage Investors llc; sunstreamnetwork; Quantum Link VOIP; Summit Industries; Scissortail Communications, LLC; Globe Tech Solutions; Alpha Stream; and MMN Tech LLC.
The FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database was established to promote transparency and effective robocall mitigation. This database is a critical tool through which the agency ensures providers are actively combatting robocalls and implementing STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication. Providers are required to certify that they have implemented STIR/SHAKEN on all IP-based portions of their networks. All providers must also submit robocall mitigation plans. Failure to meet these obligations can result in removal from the database and blocking of the provider's traffic.
The FCC and its robocall enforcement partners rely on tracebacks to protect consumers. When the Commission becomes aware of concerning robocall traffic, it can work with the FCC-designated Industry Traceback Group to request call tracking information from providers along the call path of the suspicious traffic. Thus, it is essential that any provider receiving traceback requests respond promptly and with the required information. Failing to do so will result in a provider's effective removal from the U.S. phone network ecosystem.
