I’ve just reviewed a bombshell report from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, dated March 25, 2025, and it’s a gut punch to every American who believes in sovereignty, security, and the rule of law. The title alone says it all: ICE Cannot Effectively Monitor the Location and Status of All Unaccompanied Alien Children After Federal Custody. Let that sink in. Hundreds of thousands of kids—448,000 from 2019 to 2023—crossed our border illegally, were handed off to sponsors, and now ICE, the agency tasked with enforcing our immigration laws, has no clue where many of them are. This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a betrayal of the American people. 

I’ve spent my life defending this nation, and I’m here to give it to you straight: the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment from our Intelligence Community (IC) is a wake-up call. Released this month by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, it lays bare the dangers we face—both from beyond our borders and within. This isn’t just a report for policymakers; it’s a battle plan for every patriot who cares about our future. Here’s what you need to know.
