WEX Wakeup: Trump endorses Jim Jordan for speaker; Biden to add more U.S. border wall

#wexwakeup for Friday, October 6☕☀️

Former President Donald Trump endorsed House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for speaker of the House, a major win for the Ohio Republican as he tries to win over the House Republican Conference. Early Friday morning, Trump sent out a post on his social media site, Truth Social, applauding Jordan on his accomplishments in both politics and wrestling, saying he is a “master” at sports and commending his record as a collegiate athlete and coach.

President Joe Biden is building the wall, even if he doesn't want to. The White House says it has to build 20 miles of wall at the southern border by law due to funds allocated when Donald Trump was still president.

The Biden administration will immediately begin deporting illegal immigrants from Venezuela who come across the U.S.-Mexico border unlawfully amid a historic border surge, the White House announced Thursday. Senior administration officials told reporters in a call that the United States would resume repatriation flights of Venezuelan immigrants who are deemed removable from the country.
