(FOX NEWS) — A Southwest Airlines flight was forced to perform a go-around maneuver while coming in for a landing at Chicago Midway International Airport when a private jet began taxiing across the plane’s path on the runway Tuesday morning.

Video from the airport shows the Southwest aircraft nearly touching down on the runway when it suddenly pulls back up to fly over the smaller Flexjet aircraft that entered its path on the runway.

Southwest Flight 2504 from Omaha, Nebraska, landed safely, having performed the precautionary maneuver to avoid “a possible conflict” with the other aircraft that entered the runway, Southwest said in a statement to Fox News.

America’s immigration system is being exploited, and it’s costing you – your tax dollars, your community, and your nation’s sovereignty.

Mark Krikorian, one of the nation’s leading experts on immigration and refugee policy, exposes the shocking truth: resettling a single refugee in the U.S. costs 12 times more than helping them in a nearby country, yet your government funds corrupt NGOs that profit off this system, flooding small towns with thousands of unvetted migrants without local approval.

Meanwhile, the asylum system has become a Trojan horse for economic migration, allowing millions to cross illegally, bypass safe countries, and fast-track to U.S. citizenship – permanently changing the fabric of our nation. These are not isolated cases. This is a deliberate dismantling of national borders, where foreign interests, activist groups, and bureaucrats prioritize mass migration over American stability and security.

The solution is clear: limit refugee resettlement to true emergencies, shut down the asylum loophole, defund the NGOs cashing in on mass migration, and repeal the U.N. Refugee Treaty that forces America to accept endless waves of foreign populations.

This is not just about policy – it’s about the survival of your country. Wake up, spread the truth, and demand action before it’s too late.

Apple is promising is it “addressing” the issue after its iPhones were documented to be using the dictation mode to post “Trump” on the screen when a user said the word “racist.”

“Whoever at Apple is responsible for this should lose their job,” one commenter said on social media.

News analyst and author Kyle Becker explained, “Apple says it is ‘addressing the issue’ as iPhone’s voice-to-text feature periodically shows ‘Trump’ whenever a user says ‘racist.’”

The company said, “We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation, and we are rolling out a fix as soon as possible.”

Becker explained, “The text-to-speech imbroglio is part of a pattern of anti-Trump behavior that some users report in Big Tech products. A viral video from September showed Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant refusing to provide similar responses for current President Donald Trump while providing reasons to vote for failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Before Amazon could fix the issue, the company provided answers such as, ‘she is a female of color with a comprehensive plan to address racial injustice and inequality throughout the country.’ Alexa would not respond to the same question about Donald Trump, stating ‘I cannot provide content that promotes this specific political party or candidate.’ The company fixed the issue with a manual override to correct for the political bias.”

There’s been resistance to President Donald Trump’s border security agenda since he took office and ordered that criminal illegal aliens be rounded up and deported.

Some of it has been international, which mostly has disappeared as Trump’s plans have moved forward. Some of it has been political, from Democrats who facilitated Joe Biden’s open borders scheme for years. Some of it has been, frankly, dangerous, as there were leakers who distributed advance information about raids to the public.

Those people, insiders with details about coming raids, have been identified, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

And they are getting fired.

“We have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences,” Noem said. “When they leak information to the press in order to blow an operation, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they have to live without those individuals any further.”

But the resistance, or “insurrection” against legitimate law enforcement activities, continues to find new methods to undermine American security.

A report from Fox News now explains that the newest method is doxxing.

“Flyers showing the names, pictures, and phone numbers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have surfaced in a Southern California neighborhood,” the report said. “Multiple federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin that anti-ICE activists, who have been interfering with ICE operations in the Los Angeles area in recent days, have now started putting up posters featuring the personal information of ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers working in the Los Angeles and Southern California area.”

The report said the posters, in Spanish, suggest being “CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES.”

And the posters charge, “These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers.”

But a DHS official told Fox, “These pathetic activists are putting targets on the backs of our law enforcement as they shield MS-13, Tren De Aragua and other vicious gangs that traffic women and children, kidnap for ransom and poison Americans with lethal drugs. These individuals will be held accountable for obstructing the law and justice. This shouldn’t be controversial.”

While freedom of speech and assembly are constitutionally protected, “any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice,” the DHS statement said.

Earlier, a Tampa Free Press reported confirmed that those insiders who earlier leaked information about coming raids had been identified.

Noem said those leaking such information were putting at risk the likes of federal agents.

“When they are breaking the law, we are prosecuting and holding them accountable to it. We’re not here to play games. This is about America,” Noem said.

That scandal erupted Feb. 7 when the Los Angeles Times printed a report based on a leaked internal memo detailing plans for an ICE raid in the area.

The plan, which targeted those convicted of crimes including rape and murder, sparked protests in the “sanctuary” enclave of Los Angeles.

While Noem confirmed some leakers were identified, their numbers and soon-to-be former employers were not identified.

Noem had said polygraph tests and examination of employee emails were being used to identify leakers.

“It’s amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to stop the work that we’re doing to bring safety to America will sell each other down the river just to protect themselves,” she said.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—More than 6 in 10 voters believe President Donald Trump and Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency will significantly reduce federal government spending over the next year.

The new polling from the Napolitan News Service, conducted by Scott Rasmussen at RMG Research, adds fresh evidence of DOGE‘s popularity despite unrelenting attacks from Democrats and the legacy media.

The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted Feb. 20-21, and found 62% are confident that DOGE will find savings in the federal government. Even among Democrats, 45% say Trump and DOGE are likely to significantly reduce spending, while 42% say it’s unlikely.

Just 39% of voters say Musk has gone too far with DOGE’s cuts, compared to 47% who disagree.

Trump on Saturday encouraged Musk to “get more aggressive” in a Truth Social post. “Remember,” the president added, “we have a country to save, but ultimately, to make greater than ever before.”

Later that day, Musk sent an email to all federal employees, “What did you do last week?” that asked them to list five things they accomplished.

The widespread coverage of DOGE appears to be resonating with Americans. The Napolitan News Service poll found voters are paying more attention to news about DOGE (36%) than the wars in Europe (24%) and the Middle East (23%).

The poll also asked about Trump’s idea of a “DOGE dividend,” finding that 59% support the concept of returning 20% of savings directly to the American people and using the other 80% to reduce the federal budget deficit.

The DOGE numbers are consistent with a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released Monday, which found 60% of voters think Musk’s team will help the federal government make major cuts to its expenditures. That poll also showed 67% of voters believe the current $36.5 trillion national debt is unsustainable.

Among the poll’s other findings:

• 83% of voters favor reducing government expenditures over increasing taxes
• 77% say a full examination of all government expenditures is necessary
• 70% of voters say government expenditures are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency
• 69% support Musk’s goal of cutting $1 trillion of government expenditures
• 58% of voters say DOGE employees should not have access to sensitive information on Americans who benefit from government expenditure programs

Harvard CAPS/Harris poll survey was conducted Feb. 19-20 among 2,443 registered voters.

A series of Trump administration firings has shaken up the Pentagon status quo, drawing strong reactions from members of Congress.

On Friday, President Donald Trump removed Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, one of the most high-ranking officials in the Pentagon.

Brown had previously been criticized by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who, before being confirmed, had called for his removal and accused him of playing the “race card” to advance himself.

The firing comes amid an aggressive push by Trump and Elon Musk to audit the federal government—although it has met some pushback at the Pentagon, where senior officials have told employees not to respond to the Office of Personnel Management’s emails.

“For now, please pause any response to the OPM email titled ‘What did you do last week?’” the Department of Defense wrote in a post on X.

Trump said of Brown, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, “He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family.”

Brown was not the only one to lose his job in the Trump administration’s latest shake-up of the federal government, as on Friday, Hegseth also announced the removal of the chief of naval operations and the vice chief of staff of the Air Force.

In a statement to The Daily Signal, Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., himself a Navy SEAL veteran, applauded the shake-up at the Pentagon.

“President Trump is the commander in chief and has every right to replace his advisers,” said Crane.

“Under the Biden Administration, thousands of patriots were dismissed over heinous vaccine mandates. The mass purging of warriors under Biden’s leadership harmed our readiness, not the dismissal of any generals at the Pentagon.”

Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., likewise praised the Pentagon overhaul, which he views as an anti-bureaucratic efficiency measure.

“I support the Trump administration’s efforts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s vital that we’re investing in the resources our warfighters need to deter, and if necessary, defeat our adversaries,” said DesJarlais, who added that he thinks many at the Department of Defense are focused on “wasteful DEI programs.”

But the praise from Republicans was not universal.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., an Air Force veteran and a member of the House Committee on Armed Services, told The Daily Signal in an interview that he thinks the administration should work at a slower pace with cuts.

“The president has a constitutional right to do this as the commander in chief in the Constitution,” he said, adding: “But I do think there’s decency and just doing things right—letting people know why you’re firing them. And are you just going to fire them because they were selected by the previous president? That’s not how we do things.”

Reporter: “Mr. Secretary, why did you select an under qualified retired lieutenant general to be the next chairman of joint chiefs of staff?”

Bacon also said that he agrees with Trump, Musk, and Hegseth’s push for increased transparency and efficiency in the military, but he cautioned against what he views as reckless restructuring.

“I do think, before you make cuts, that you should have it well-staffed, so you know what the consequences are … . They’re like, ‘Oops, we should not have cut that.’ We shouldn’t have cut the nuclear guys who are working on our nuclear weapons.”

He added, “Let’s be transparent. I embrace the audit. And let’s be a little more careful and have a better discussion or better analysis on what we’re cutting, so that we know what the consequences are.”
