Chapter 1: What breakthroughs have been announced in international relations?
Trump announces breakthrough deals, a ceasefire between Pakistan and India and a trade deal with China.
It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought.
I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howell. It's Monday, May 12th, and this is Morning Wire.
Chapter 2: What actions are being taken against immigration enforcement obstruction?
The Trump administration is turning up the heat on anyone obstructing immigration officials after a Democrat mayor is arrested in New Jersey.
There is a problem in this country with breaking the law for the purpose of grandstanding and political hierarchy. That will not stand in my state.
Chapter 3: Who is the new MAHA Surgeon General nominee?
That will not stand in this country. And Trump picks a major MAHA figure as Surgeon General. What do we know about the nominee and her mission?

Chapter 4: How did the U.S. broker a ceasefire between India and Pakistan?
After days of deadly fighting and rising global tensions, the United States has brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan and is also set to announce a major trade deal with China.
Daily Wire's senior editor, Cabot Phillips, has the latest. Hey, Cabot, so we'll get to this big trade deal in a second. But first, a really tense weekend that had the world kind of on edge. Then there was a breakthrough. Walk us through the India-Pakistan situation.
Yeah, it's important to remember the context here. India and Pakistan are bitter rivals. For decades, the two have feuded over religion, border disputes, and politics. Their shared border has been a tinderbox, and last week, a terror attack by Pakistani Islamists sparked the most significant conflict between the two countries that we've seen in decades.
India responded with air and missile strikes on what they called terrorist camps, but a number of civilians were reportedly killed, and two mosques were hit in those strikes. Pakistan responded with strikes of their own, and within 48 hours, the two sides, both of which, remember, are nuclear powers, were deploying kamikaze drones, fighter jets, and even conventional artillery.
They were targeting each other's air defense systems, but again, a number of civilians were killed in that back and forth. By Friday, both sides had begun to evacuate towns along the border. Dozens of airports and schools were shut down, and thousands of troops were mobilized on both sides towards the border. So it looked like an all-out war was imminent.
Right, an alarming escalation for sure. But now we're learning that the U.S. stepped in, correct?
Right. From the very start of this conflict, the Trump administration gave the impression that they had no interest in getting involved. At least publicly, they were saying that. Here's Vice President Vance, for example, on Fox News, saying the conflict was, quote, "...none of our business."
What we can do is try to encourage these folks to deescalate a little bit, but we're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America's ability to control it.
But while Vance was downplaying America's concern over the situation, we now know that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were working feverishly behind the scenes to iron out a peace deal.

Chapter 5: What progress has been made on the U.S.-China trade deal?
So don't be surprised if it comes out later that their willingness to sign onto a ceasefire had something to do with potential promises on tariffs.
Speaking of a trade deal, we have a potential major one between the U.S. and China that came through. What came out of Scott Besson's negotiations in Switzerland?
Yeah, this could be the granddaddy of them all for trade deals. On Saturday and Sunday, the Treasury Secretary and U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer met with a Chinese delegation in Switzerland for formal trade talks. Two sides were tight-lipped on the specifics, but according to Besant, they made, quote, substantial progress. And according to President Trump, a deal was agreed on.
Here's Greer from Geneva.
There was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days. Just remember why we're here in the first place is the United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit. So the president declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs. And we're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to resolve, work toward resolving that national emergency.
Keep an eye out. The White House says we will get the details of that deal this morning, which will likely be music to the ears of Wall Street.
Yeah, no doubt. We'll see how the markets respond in short order. Kevin, thanks so much for reporting. Absolutely.
Federal authorities arrested Newark Mayor Ross Baraka outside of an immigration detention facility on Friday. The Trump administration has threatened to arrest and charge even more Democrats who intervene in immigration enforcement.
Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearce is here to talk about Friday's arrest and the pressure campaign against Trump's immigration policy. Hey, Tim. So let's start with the mayor. Why exactly did he get arrested?

Chapter 6: Why was the Newark Mayor arrested?
We will not stand for anybody getting in the way of getting rid of criminals in this country. It's very simple. Unfortunately, the mayor has publicly for three days been saying that he's going to break in, eventually did break in, was given multiple opportunities to remove himself, failed to do so, and has been detained and will be charged.
I should note that Baraka is also a candidate for New Jersey governor, so he has high aspirations. Three Democratic Congress members were there as well. They said they were there to tour the facility in line with their oversight function. One of those members, Robert Menendez Jr. of New Jersey, said this about Baraka's arrest.
It was an act of intimidation. It was an act of intimidation not just to the mayor, not just to us, but to everyone watching.
Federal authorities say that more charges could be brought against those members of Congress as well. So what actually took place? What happened at this detention center? Well, there are mixed accounts. Here's Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin on CNN.
What happened is that these members of Congress, including the mayor as well, and a mob of protesters, as there was a bus full of detainees going through the gate, they stormed the gate and actually entered the first security checkpoint. This put law enforcement at risk, and this actually put the detainees as well at risk.
If any official, including these members of Congress, want to enter the facility and take a tour, DHS is more than accommodating. But just because you're a member of Congress does not mean you can break the law, trespass, put law enforcement at risk, and storm the detention facility.
Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, who was there with Menendez, said DHS lied about what happened. She claims the Congress members went into the detention center and then came out to talk with Baraka. After that, a scuffle broke out between federal authorities and the protesters. Here's some video of that. So a pretty messy scene.
Yeah, and the protest was over the Trump administration's deportation agenda. There's been some additional buzz on that effort. What's the latest there?
Well, on Friday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said the administration is considering suspending due process to deport illegal immigrants.
