Scot Bertram | The U.S. Army Says It Has Exceeded Its 2025 Recruiting Goals

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — The man accused of killing of a Minnesota state lawmaker is in custody.  Vance Boelter was captured alive near Green Isle after being spotted on a trail earlier Sunday by a camera.  He is accused of killing state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.  He's also accused of shooting and wounding Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife.

Two --- President Trump is not backing down on ICE raids that have sparked protests in Los Angeles and elsewhere.  On Sunday, Trump announced he is directing his administration to use every resource possible on mass deportation efforts. He mentioned increasing enforcement actions in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and other cities. The announcement a day after so-called ‘No Kings’ protests scattered across the U.S.

 
And number three — The U.S. Army says it has exceeded its 2025 recruiting goals.  Last week, the Army announced that it had signed contracts with over 61,000 future soldiers.  A report from Georgetown University says currently, less than 30-percent of American youth meet the requirements for military service due to a range of physical, academic and behavioral disqualifiers.
