Donald Trump is remaking the traditional boundaries of Washington, unleashing unprecedented executive orders and daring anyone to stop him. Here's the latest:. In note, Joe Biden wishes the nation prosperity, peace and grace under Trump. The former president revealed his wish in a traditional note to his successor.
Fox News was first to report on the contents of the hand-written note. It says:. “Dear President Trump,. “As I take leave of this sacred office, I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people — and people around the world — look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation. May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.”.
Fox News says it was signed, “Joe Biden 1/20/2025.”. In Philadelphia, officials hear about how to protect immigrants from efforts to deport or detain them. Philadelphia City Council members heard testimony on Wednesday about how the city and the school district are preparing to protect immigrants from efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to detain or deport them.
One council member suggested the hearing was necessary in part because of the “lack of information” coming from Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker. Renee Garcia, Parker’s solicitor, told City Council the administration will continue a policy of not recognizing a detainer request from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents when the city is releasing someone from a city jail. The city will only recognize a warrant signed by a judge, Garcia told council members.
