FBI Warns of an Iranian Attack On U.S. Soil | The Wrap Up | PragerU

The FBI alerts law enforcement that Iran may be plotting a drone attack on the U.S. homeland. A medical watchdog warns the FDA about a growing trend of sex-rejecting hormones being sold online to minors without prescriptions. British Parliament moves forward with a plan to strip its citizens of their centuries-old right to a trial by jury. And 37 missing children are rescued in a sweeping anti-trafficking operation across Southern California. We'll get into all of that and your quick hits now. What's up, guys? Welcome to The Wrap-Up, where we break down the biggest stories of the week that you might have missed but need to know. I'm your host, Kasey. First up, the FBI has issued a law enforcement alert warning that Iran may be conspiring to launch a drone attack on American soil. According to a new report from The Daily Wire, the FBI's alert warns that Iranian operatives, or groups aligned with the regime, could attempt to execute a, quote, potentially targeting infrastructure or other locations on the West Coast. ABC News reported that the alert was communicated to California law enforcement, stating that the FBI first became aware of the potential Iranian threat in early February. Governor Gavin Newsom had this to say about the alert from the FBI. Drone issues have been always top of mind and we've assembled some work groups specifically around those concerns. But that's all I'll share at the moment. The Daily Wire reports that U.S. officials are particularly concerned about Iran's history of using proxy networks to carry out attacks around the world. Groups backed by Tehran, including the terrorist organization Hezbollah, have long been linked to plots against American officials and Western interests. When asked about potential terror threats earlier this month, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said, quote, we're ready for that. We've seen these types of folks before and the American people can rest assured that we're vigilant on that. According to Breitbart, the Trump administration said law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local levels are increasing monitoring and security efforts. Officials are watching closely for potential cyber attacks, drone activity, or other forms of warfare that hostile regimes could use to strike the United States without a Next up, a new report reveals online pharmacies may be selling dangerous sex-rejecting drugs to minors without prescriptions, leading watchdog groups to call on the FDA to investigate. According to The Daily Signal, a medical watchdog group is urging the Food and Drug Administration to investigate so-called home-brewed transgender hormones that are rising in popularity. The group, Do No Harm, warns that activists and online networks may be helping individuals obtain or even manufacture hormone drugs without proper medical supervision or FDA oversight. The Daily Signal reports that doctors and health experts are raising alarms about the lack of safety testing, dosing standards, or quality controls in these underground hormone products. Without proper regulation, patients may have no way of knowing what they're actually taking or the potential long-term health risks. And these online distributors do not appear to require prescriptions or age verification. While activists claim teens with gender dysphoria need experimental medical interventions to prevent suicide, the Department of Health and Human Services says there is little evidence these procedures benefit minors. In fact, studies show real harms from these drugs. One study found that males who take estrogen to appear female face higher risks of infertility, diabetes, certain cancers, and early death. An FDA study also found that suicidal thoughts may increase among children who take puberty blockers. Watchdog groups argue that if powerful hormones are being produced and distributed outside the medical system, the FDA has a responsibility to investigate before more Americans are put at risk. In our next story, one of the oldest protections in the Western justice system may be on the chopping block in Britain. According to Breitbart, the British government has taken a major step toward limiting jury trials after a controversial bill cleared its first major vote in Parliament. The proposal would allow thousands of criminal cases to be decided by a judge alone instead of a jury of citizens. The reform, backed by the Labour government, would remove jury trials for many offenses carrying potential sentences of three years or less, with officials arguing the move is necessary to reduce massive court backlogs. Britain's criminal courts currently face nearly 80,000 pending cases, with some trials delayed for years. More than 3,000 lawyers and legal experts have warned that the reforms could undermine public trust and increase the risk of miscarriages of justice. Conservative Member of Parliament Geoffrey Cox had this to say about the change. The jury trial is the cornerstone of our justice system. Do away with it and we are in trouble. While supporters say the changes will speed up the judicial process, the UK government is sacrificing a centuries-old liberty in the name of efficiency. Up next, a major law enforcement operation in California has recovered dozens of missing children as part of a large-scale move from authorities to target child exploitation networks. According to the Postmillennial, law enforcement agencies recently completed a major operation called Operation Safe Return, which successfully located and rescued 37 missing children across Southern California and nearby states. The operation was led by the U.S. Marshal Service and the Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force, with support from multiple local, state, and federal agencies. Investigators focused on children between the ages of 14 and 17 who had been missing for periods ranging from one month to two years, many of whom were considered at high risk for violence, sexual exploitation, or trafficking. Authorities say the operation also led to seven arrests, including a federal arrest connected to child sex trafficking. Some of the rescued children were found across multiple states, including Arizona and Nevada. According to law enforcement officials involved in the operation, after being located, the children were provided medical care, victim advocacy support, and assistance reconnecting with family members or guardians. Thirteen cases remain open following the operation and the identities of those arrested remain confidential as investigations continue. And now it's time for Quick Hit. Britain's government is considering removing images of historic British figures like Winston Churchill from the nation's currency. GB News reported they'll be replacing the Great Britons with images of birds or animals, but don't worry, they'll be curated by a celebrity bird watcher. Starbucks founder and billionaire Howard Schultz has relocated from Seattle to Florida, becoming the latest wealthy business leader to leave a high-tax West Coast state for the Sunshine State. The move comes as Washington lawmakers consider a new tax on million-dollar incomes, highlighting a growing trend of entrepreneurs and billionaires choosing Florida's business-friendly environment. A protester outside a Portland ICE facility accidentally set themselves on fire while attempting to burn an American flag during an anti-ICE protest. And somehow they'll still find a way to blame ICE for this. Seattle officials may delay transportation projects to pay for hundreds of anti-ICE signs ordered by Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson. City documents indicate the roughly $45,000 signage effort, covering about 656 locations, could force the Seattle Department of Transportation to, quote, delay or defer other projects to cover the cost. A new oil refinery planned for Brownsville, Texas could bring up to $300 billion in long-term economic impact and create thousands of jobs. As a part of President Trump's push to strengthen American energy independence, this would be the first major U.S. refinery built in decades. That's a wrap for this week.
