The full contents of the letter former President Joe Biden left for President Trump has been revealed.

ā€œDear President Trump, As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people ā€” and people around the world ā€” look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.

May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding,ā€ read the letter, obtained by Fox News.

The Pentagon said Wednesday it has begun deploying 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days, putting in motion plans President Donald Trump laid out in executive orders shortly after he took office to crack down on immigration.

Acting Defense Secretary Robert Salesses said the Pentagon will provide military aircraft to support Department of Homeland Security deportation flights for more than 5,000 detained migrants and the troops will assist in the construction of barriers.

The number of troops and their mission may soon change, Salesses said in a statement. ā€œThis is just the beginning,ā€ he said.

New border czar for the Trump administration Tom Homan said that ICE had arrested 308 illegal immigrants, or the new term ā€œillegal aliens,ā€ on Tuesday. President Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday. Homan said on Tuesday operations have already begun.

ā€œICE is doing their job,ā€ said Homan, per the New York Post. He said that the first people who were rounded up were those who pose threats to ā€œpublic safety,ā€ and that there are some 700,000 of individuals of that nature in the US currently.

Homan vowed to hit the ground running after he was appointed to the post shortly after Trump won the White House back in November. Since then, heā€™s been revealing how the mass deportation operations promised on Trumpā€™s campaign trail would work.

President Trump warned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine quickly, or else face ā€œhigh levels of taxes, tariffs and sanctions.ā€

Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to double-down on his criticisms of Putin and Russiaā€™s hurting economy, warning Moscow that things would only get worse if the war doesnā€™t end soon.

ā€œSettle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! ITā€™S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE,ā€ Trump urged.

Unchecked mass migration is plaguing most of the Western world ā€“ and the deadly consequences keep killing and hurting innocent people while liberal elites slowly wonder what to do about it.

Germany is a sad example of this deadly trend.

The country hasnā€™t even recovered from the Christmas Market attack, where a Saudi migrant killed 5 people and wounded over 200 more, and is already mourning new victims of migrant terrorism.

Hours after President Trump announced a major artificial intelligence investment, it faced skepticism from one of his closest allies: DOGE head Elon Musk.

Musk publicly undermining the $500 billion project, led by OpenAI and other tech titans, could draw Trumpā€™s ire.

Trump tasked Musk with slashing federal spending with the new Department of Government Efficiency.

Prince Harry and his legal team thrashed out a last-minute deal with Rupert Murdochā€™s British newspaper group Wednesday to settle claims of widespread wrongdoing at the publisher. The prince received a ā€œfull apologyā€ but fell short of his mission to hold British tabloids accountable in open court.

The Duke of Sussexā€™s decision to settle his claims against News Group Newspapers (NGN) ends his efforts expose the misdeeds of the publisher of The Sun and long-shuttered News of the World in open trial.

Along with former lawmaker Tom Watson, Harry, 40, the younger son of King Charles III, had sued NGN over alleged unlawful activities carried out by journalists and private investigators working for the newspapers.
