President Donald Trump said he supports a ban on U.S. diesel exports, putting him alongside Republicans who have pushed such an idea as diesel prices hit record highs.

Since late 2025, federal law enforcement has made 160 election fraud arrests and has 10 times as many investigations in motion, senior Trump administration officials said.

“We are investigating several hundred cases that are very much active right now. We are bringing several cases each week,” a Justice Department official told the Daily Signal Tuesday. “But I will say that we have thousands of cases that are in their infancy, where we are receiving public voter files.”

The Daily Signal reported Monday that the Justice Department has brought about two dozen voter fraud cases in September so far.

Previously, the Daily Signal reported that, as of late August, the second-term Trump Justice Department charged 50 noncitizens for voter fraud in its first one and a half years, compared to 13 such cases brought in the entirety of the Biden administration.

The Justice Department is combining its own internal database and tools, and distributing that information to U.S. attorneys’ offices, Homeland Security Investigations field offices, and the FBI.

“What you are seeing right now is stuff that has been in the hopper, and we have been working for a while now,” the Justice Department official said. “We think as the weeks progress, we will see those tranches, just in their infancy, start to really build and come to fruition as well.”

The administration also plans to release numbers on nonprosecutable cases, noting that more than 100,000 people have illegally registered to vote or voted, but the statute of limitations has expired for prosecution.

The uptick in arrests shows federal prosecutors are not just looking the other way on voter fraud, said Chad Ennis, vice president of the Honest Elections Project.

“The DOJ is finally putting the manpower into this. A lot of times all you have to do is look,” Ennis told thec Daily Signal. “Most of these prosecutions have been for in-person voting. In years past, most scattered prosecutions were for mail voting, or ballot harvesting operations.”

A Public Interest Legal Foundation database shows 1,376 elections ended in a tie since 1992, while another 533 were decided by a single vote in that time.

“Are thousands of fraudulent votes happening in one place? No,” Ennis said. “But local elections are more prone to fraud. It’s hard to steal a million votes. It’s not hard to steal 10 votes. Then someone has a city council to steer contracts their way, and it’s a good return on investment.”

A Homeland Security Investigations official said the agency is getting leads from across the country, with 1,600 cases in place, and 160 arrests for illegal voting or illegal voter registration.

“These are time-consuming cases. They take a lot of agent time, doing interviews, finding people, running down the official records, and determining if they voted and whether they voted in elections,” the HSI official said.

The HSI official said the agency works with other agencies, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the State Department, and the FBI to collect large amounts of registered voters, filter out noncitizens, determine if they voted, and then turn over that information to federal prosecutors. Prosecutors decide if a case can reach a conviction.

‘a huge win for the US, Texas, and the local producers’

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—An Albuquerque social worker is speaking out after suing to block a school district policy, alleging that it violates her First Amendment rights by forcing her to lie to parents about their students’ gender identities.

“I’m a social worker. My job is to support … emotional development, mental health, decision-making processes that affect a student’s well-being, but also to support parents, community, and students; and advocate for the health and well-being of the family,” Jeanette Martinez, the plaintiff, told the Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday.

Yet Procedural Directive PJ30 directs Albuquerque Public Schools staff to adopt a child’s stated gender identity at school and hide that identity from parents—unless the child gives permission.

“When contacting the parent/guardian of a transgender student, school staff shall use the student’s legal name and the pronoun corresponding to the student’s gender assigned at birth unless the student or parent/legal guardian has specified otherwise,” the policy states.

In addition to the policy, the lawsuit cites an April 21 training, conducted for the school district by the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico. “You may be the one safe person at a school who’s using a kid’s pronouns, but if you don’t know whether the parents are cool with it or not, don’t call them that in front of their parents because it may be the only way to protect the safety at school,” the instructor stated.

‘A Wicked Presumption’

Mark Trammell, general counsel at the Center for American Liberty, which is representing Martinez, condemned gender secrecy policies.

“It’s a wicked presumption on behalf of schools,” he told the Daily Signal. “The presumption that parents are inherently abusive of their children, but that the state—the school—can do no wrong, and is all-knowing. It is a very socialist, it-takes-a-village type of approach, and it is so contrary to the Constitution.”

He said the policy “actually requires this conspiracy to lie to parents, and I think that compelled lie is so clearly unconstitutional.”

Martinez repeatedly sought a religious accommodation not to lie to parents.

“Never, ever was I told that I could be honest with parents,” she said.

“I’m being asked to go against my faith and what I believe is best for families and children,” Martinez said. “The parent should be the one providing the stability, the guidance, and the love.”

The social worker said that school officials told her, “If I was face-to-face with the student and the parent, then I was allowed to use the biological name only in front of the parent, so that the parent does not become aware that the student has transitioned.”

Martinez’s lawsuit claims that PJ30 violates the social worker’s free speech and religious freedom rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. It discriminates against her on the basis of her viewpoint, it compels her to speak in violation of her conscience, and it forces her to violate her religious beliefs. The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare PJ30 unlawful, and to block it with a preliminary and permanent injunction.

“APS does not comment on pending litigation,” Martin Salazar, senior director of communications at the school district, told the Daily Signal. “We will address the allegations in court, using the appropriate process.”

The Daily Signal reached out to the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico, and did not receive a response by publication time.

A 10-Year-Old Boy

Martinez told the Daily Signal that her concerns grew from an incident involving a 10-year-old boy.

She said the boy had previously been committed to a mental hospital and suffered multiple mental-health challenges, but wanted to use the girls’ restroom.

She said school officials began treating him like a girl “overnight” and planned a transgender identity presentation for his class.

Martinez faulted the school for being “just way too passive.”

“They have literally said if a student says they are not a male or a female—opposite of what they are biologically—that it’s not their job to mentally assess a student,” she recalled. “If they say that’s what they are, then that is exactly what they are.”

“What if that’s not the answer?” Martinez recalled asking.

Trammell, the attorney, cited recent Supreme Court precedent upholding parental rights.

In Mirabelli v. Bonta (2026), the Supreme Court upheld an injunction against California’s gender secrecy policy, which mandated that school staff hide a student’s claimed transgender identity from parents unless the student expressly consented to reveal it.

The Supreme Court only granted preliminary relief, rather than ruling on the merits, so some states have kept similar policies.

“It is really only a matter of time, I think, until the Supreme Court takes up these types of cases on the merits and provides what I think is much needed guidance to all 50 states,” Trammell said.

On Sept. 20, the Daily Wire (DW) released its new movie, “Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels.” DW, a conservative media company based in Nashville, produces a variety of podcasts, television series, and full-length motion pictures. Without a Hollywood budget, DW ventures into waters no other filmmaker dares.  

DW podcast host Matt Walsh has made two documentaries, “What is a Woman” in 2022, which revealed the contradictions of gender ideology, and “Am I a Racist” in 2024, where with his signature irony and wit, Walsh gives woke “antiracists” enough rope to hang themselves.  

DW also made the film “Lady Ballers,” in which a group of men decide to identify as women for the purposes of winning basketball games—a ridiculous premise now playing out in real life as former NBA players Enis Kanter Freedom and Royce White declare for the WNBA draft.  

DW’s first “Run, Hide, Fight,” released in 2020, was about a mass killing in a high school. The 2026 sequel, “Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels,” is about a mass terrorist attack at a fictional college in Virginia. The state is a fitting choice, as the home of an ultra-woke governor, Abigail Spanberger, and prosecutor, Steve Descano, who releases criminals without bail and has dropped charges against illegal immigrants—at least one of whom later allegedly committed murder. 

The plot of “Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels” is simple: Islamic terrorists invade a college campus, kill dozens, and take hostages to obtain the release of their leader. He had been captured in Somalia years earlier by a former Delta Force captain, who happens to be speaking on campus that very day about the threat of Islam to the West. The captain, a few plucky students, and a chunky wit of a security guard arm up, form a ragtag A-Team, and save the day.  

The film is a sort of 1980s mash-up of a college dorm movie like “Revenge of the Nerds” with a straight-to-video Van Damme action flick. Remember those quotable ’80s lines? “I’ll be back.” “Welcome to the party, pal.” “I ain’t got time to bleed.” The movie’s script is a bit stilted at times, but it has a few of those. When one of the good guys shoots a terrorist in the gym, he says: “Never skip leg day.” When a bystander asks what the mayhem on campus is about, the security guard says: “We have a very active shooter.”  

The movie’s characters are cliché but accurate. The blue haired, nose-ring-sporting student activists are much as you would see on any campus today. They wear keffiyehs, put tents on the quad, and snap their fingers instead of applauding. The apparently nonbinary person says it went “no contact” with its parents. Et cetera.  

The faculty lounge scene is spot on too, with an assembly of leftist academics, only one of whom, a pregnant woman of color, advocates to shut down the protests on campus so people can get back to teaching and study. 

As you would expect, the film has been getting attention for reasons nothing to do with its qualities as a film. Legacy media critics have savaged it. The movie’s Wikipedia page reads like it was written by the Oberlin chapter of Students for Justice for Palestine.  

In truth, “Run, Hide Fight: Infidels” is not a fantastic film, but nor is it a terrible one. It’s an entertaining two hours in the shoot-em-up tradition of “The Dirty Dozen” and “Rambo.” Shut down your brain, open a few beers, and enjoy some mayhem.  

As you’d expect, there are no major stars, the most famous actors being cancelled Marvel actor Jonathan Majors as the hero soldier and Jason Gray-Stanford from the TV show “Monk” as the spineless dean. A few standout lesser-known actors were Stephen Hailo as the terrorist leader and David Lucas as the security guard.  

Overall, the movie cries out for the kinds of production value, writing, and cast that the mainstream U.S. movie industry simply won’t give a project like this. Why is that?  

We have tens of thousands of disaster movies, hundreds of movies about the Vietnam War, and thousands about World War II. But there are almost none about Islamist terrorist attacks. 

Yet mass-casualty, Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks are a potential mine of dramatic material. In Europe, there were bombings or suicide attacks in Madrid (2004), London (2005, 2017), Paris (2015), Brussels (2016), Nice (2016), Berlin (2016), and Manchester (2017). 

In America, Islamist-inspired terrorists killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, three in Boston in 2013, five in Chattanooga and 14 in San Bernardino in 2015, and 49 in Orlando in 2016. I can’t find a single movie about any of these events. 

As for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which killed almost 3,000 people, I can find only one drama that deals with the actual terrorists and their acts, “United 93.” There is no movie about American Airlines Flight 11 or United Airlines Flight 175, the two that hit the Twin Towers, or American Airlines Flight 77, which hit the Pentagon.  

The obvious reason is that no one in Hollywood wants to portray Islamist terrorists saying and doing what they really say and do. They can separate Germans from Nazis, and Vietnamese from Viet Cong, but not Muslims from Islamist terrorists. Perhaps because there are no real Nazis or VC out there threatening Hollywood for its depictions of them.  

In many serious World War II movies, from the 1965 blockbuster “Battle of the Bulge” to Steven Speilberg’s 1993 “Schindler’s List,” the Germans are portrayed as saying and doing things Germans did and said. Yet from 1962’s “The Longest Day” to 1998’s “Saving Private Ryan,” many have won Oscars.  

The careers of actors playing murderous Nazis have only prospered. In “Platoon” and “Full Metal Jacket,” the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Minh guerillas are also portrayed as they were; committed to the communist takeover of Vietnam and to killing American soldiers. Yet their producers, directors, and actors suffered no blowback. 

Islamism is different. It’s a no-go zone for the American film industry. I looked up which actors had played Osama bin Laden in films and found only four. Two were Hindi-language movies, one was a 2012 TV movie. The fourth, and the only American feature film, was Katherine Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty.” In it, British-Indian actor Ricky Sekhon played bin Laden. You don’t remember him? Maybe it’s because Sekhon had not one word of dialogue and “gets only a few seconds of screen time, most of it dead on the floor.” Also, as “a creative decision” by the director and writer, “his face is never shown” to the audience.  

Many movies show Nazis discussing exterminating Jews and methodically killing Allied soldiers and civilians, although these views are reprehensible to their audience. Yet no movie takes even a few minutes to give bin Laden a chance to expound on his worldview, which led him and al-Qaeda to bomb two U.S. embassies and a U.S. Navy warship and to carry out the 9-11 attacks.  

In 2023, some historically illiterate young people seized on bin Laden’s “Letter to America” and found it “eye opening.” Today, our campuses teem with students who believe America is the oppressor and terrorists are victims. Perhaps some more accurate and daring portrayals on our screens of what Islamists actually believe, say, and do in real life would help dispel that myth.  

“Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels” may not be “Ben Hur,” but it has the courage to take on that challenge. Let’s hope Hollywood is brave enough to follow one day.
