The Trump administration's mass deportations remain a major focus of the President's first 100-day agenda, making headlines by sending illegal migrants and alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador.

Today is officially Tax Day, and parts of the tax code have changed significantly over the years. One significant change occurred during President Donald Trump's first term with the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Currently, Republicans hold a supermajority, and it's time to renew many of the cuts established in 2017 that are set to expire soon. While many GOP members advocate for maintaining these cuts, some are seeking modifications. FOX Business Anchor David Asman joins the Rundown to explain what these tax cuts entail, why many in the business community believe they'd be beneficial to remain in effect, and why extending them may still be a political challenge. Many police departments across the U.S. have a shared problem: not enough officers.

Criminologist Alex del Carmen discusses how negative publicity about police work has made the nationwide police shortage worse, and what he thinks can be done to help recruitment.

One of the two major issues President Trump ran his campaign on was a promise to secure the U.S. border from migrants--since the start of his second term, he has made that promise a significant part of his agenda. The Trump administration says it has paid off, significantly improving border issues that it says the Biden administration neglected. Some Americans wonder whether President Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will have an effect on the border. Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX) joins the Rundown to discuss border security and immigration issues along the U.S. southern border and Mexico. He explains why developing a partnership with Mexico could greatly benefit the U.S. and help confront major issues. The Congressman also addresses hidden costs that counties along the U.S. southern border face, including handling unidentified migrant bodies who died while crossing the border.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—or "SNAP"—is an option for people who need federal financial help to feed their families and buy groceries. In fiscal year 2023, more than 42 million people across the country received SNAP benefits, roughly 12% of Americans. In Texas and several other states, an effort has been made to prevent beneficiaries from using SNAP to purchase unhealthy foods. This movement has only gained momentum since the Trump administration and the new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowed to “Make America Healthy Again.” This week, Gurnal Scott spoke with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton, who has a bill to prevent people from using SNAP benefits on things like chips, cookies, candy, and soda. He explained these items offer little to no nutritional value and are fueling America’s obesity problem and raising health care costs for all Americans. Middleton also addressed the concerns of critics who worry about denying Americans choices on how to feed their families. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton and get even more of his take on how reforming the SNAP program can make Americans healthier and save taxpayers money.
