President Donald Trump told the Daily Signal he had “hopefully fruitful” discussions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping about political prisoners in China, including American Min Zin and Jimmy Lai.

When asked by the Daily Signal if he discussed the release of political prisoners, Trump said, “I did.”

“We talked, and I think we had some very, very important discussions,” he said. “Hopefully fruitful discussions.”

Trump met with Xi Thursday and Friday in Washington, D.C.

In June, Min Zin, an American husband and father of one, was arrested after landing in China for an academic conference. His wife, Sylvia, told the Daily Signal before the summit that she was hopeful Trump would secure her husband’s freedom.

“President Trump is the only one who can do it,” she said, “and we are praying and counting on him to bring my husband home.”

Jimmy Lai, a businessman and newspaper publisher jailed for publishing criticisms of Beijing, was first arrested in 2021.

Following a two-year trial and five-year detention, in 2025, China convicted him of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and publish seditious material.

Trump said he raised Lai’s imprisonment with Xi during the May state visit. After that visit, Trump was able to secure the release of Pastor Ezra Jin.

Legal migration from Muslim-majority countries has dropped significantly since President Donald Trump took office, and officials concerned about the spread of Islam in the United States told the Daily Signal that they welcome the news.

The newly reported decline comes after the president promised on the campaign trail to protect Americans from possible harm from loosely vetted Islamic radicals, who often rely on taxpayer-funded welfare when relocating to the United States.

Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith championed the president’s crackdown on mass migration from these nations, which include Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Pakistan.

“[The United States has] every right to scrutinize immigration from countries where governing systems and legal traditions conflict sharply with our constitutional order,” Beckwith told the Daily Signal.

“Sharia-based systems can impose rules concerning religion, speech, family law, and individual liberty that differ fundamentally from protections guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution,” he continued, calling it a “great move” that will protect America from the “Islamic strategy of domination through immigration overload known as Da’wah.”

Beckwith said America should instead deploy immigration tactics that place “America’s security and constitutional principles first.”

“We should know who is entering our country, conduct rigorous vetting, and ensure that those admitted are prepared to live peacefully under American law, not replace it with a competing system of government,” he said. “Protecting religious freedom includes protecting Muslims’ right to worship freely, while also insisting that the Constitution and American law remain supreme.”

In Congress, the two co-founders of the congressional Sharia-Free America Caucus told the Daily Signal that by limiting this legal migration, the president is putting a stop to what they described as “national suicide.”

“Our broken immigration system led the U.S. to import well over 2 million aliens from Muslim-majority countries after 9/11. That can only be described as national suicide,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, told the Daily Signal.

Roy welcomed the news about recently declining migration, adding that Americans once again have a presidential administration that prioritizes the flow of harmful immigration, both legal and illegal.

“I am glad to see that the Trump administration appears to have reduced this abusive ‘legal’ immigration while stopping most of the illegal flow at our southern border,” Roy continued. “This must continue, along with mass deportations, and importantly, codification of these reforms, which I have led through multiple pieces of legislation.”

His colleague, Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, echoed his claim, thanking Trump for realizing that the United States is a country “worth defending” from any immigrant who is “hostile to our country, our people, and our values.”

Conservatives are pushing back against the Left’s effort to discipline lawyers for the clients they represent, in what is being called “barfare,” with threats of disbarment or other actions.

During a conference Wednesday near Capitol Hill on the topic, Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., praised the effort to fight back.

“We need smart people who have been through the fire to lead and show the people on the other side of this they are going to try to intimidate you and show them that the only way out is through,” Schmitt said when asked during a question-and-answer session about the Oversight Project’s new law firm.

Schmitt noted that his “coming of age” was as Missouri attorney general, defending the state in litigation over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 rules and censorship.

“It turned out that there actually weren’t that many attorneys general at the time who understood the stakes and were willing to fight back with everything and suffer the consequences,” Schmitt said. He added, “We have to play offense.”

Later at the event, former assistant U.S. Attorney General Jeff Clark spoke.

Clark is being targeted for advocating for President Donald Trump during the disputed 2020 election outcome, but he noted there have been many more targets.

“This lawfare and barfare effort is about creating a one-party system. It is about totally destroying our competitive system, government, and our entire republic,” Clark, now the Oversight Project vice president of litigation, said at a conference Wednesday near Capitol Hill titled, “Barfare: Stopping Bar Discipline as Political Warfare.”

“That’s what’s at stake. If you do not defeat this barfare effort and the lawfare effort more broadly, then the United States is going to be taken over entirely.”

The Oversight Project, a watchdog group, launched a law firm specifically aimed at defending targets of lawfare, whether through weaponized government agencies, through politicized litigation, or by threatening to revoke law licenses.

“There’s a lot more that can be done, and we intend to hire lawyers more interested in public service who are interested in fighting for the cause,” Clark said.

He added, “If you cede all that territory to the Left, then when these politicized warfare cases get filed, there are no conservatives on these boards, and we have to fight back. We have to provide alternatives and remedies to that, and that’s what we’re going to do in the new Oversight Project law firm.”

The law firm expands the Oversight Project’s existing legal staff and combines it with its investigative team.

The group notes that the Left has long had the infrastructure to successfully turn political differences into legal disputes. The group says it will be a “public defender for the right.”

Other speakers noted the group of liberal nonprofits, many with overlapping staff and funders, that worked directly with federal and state prosecutors to launch a barrage of criminal and civil complaints.

Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, the third-highest-ranking official at the Justice Department, noted state bar actions seem to target only one side.

“What if 600 days ago Kamala Harris became president? The same Biden DOJ would be allowed to keep doing what they were doing,” Woodward said during morning remarks at the event.

“State bars across the United States only investigate Republicans. Do you mean to tell me there were no controversies from the Merrick Garland Justice Department?” Woodward asked rhetorically.

Beyond what side is targeted, Woodward noted a larger principle: opposition to the targeting of lawyers for representing the “wrong” clients.

“Lawyers have to be free to represent unpopular cases,” Woodward said.

“John Adams represented the redcoats after the Boston Massacre. Our Constitution was founded on the belief of advocacy. Abraham Lincoln represented controversial clients as a lawyer.”

Ed Ashman survived the Vietnam War. He returned home and spent decades serving Orange County students as a teacher. One day, as he was walking in his own neighborhood, he was struck and killed by a 14-year-old boy riding an illegal electric motorcycle while doing a wheelie.

The boy’s mother had been warned multiple times by law enforcement about the illegal vehicle. She is now facing charges of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. This tragic death was entirely preventable.

This is not an isolated story from my hometown in Southern California. Just a month after Ashman’s death, a teenager in Garden Grove died after losing control of an e-motorcycle while riding at about 35 miles per hour. This September, a 14-year-old was killed after running a red traffic signal.

We are seeing different circumstances with the same outcome. Children operating powerful vehicles without proper supervision or training are paying with their lives.

These are not freak accidents but a repeated pattern. Orange County is a prime example of what happens when technology moves faster than parents, communities, and local institutions adapt. These vehicles are becoming more accessible to younger riders, while many adults still underestimate the risks.

Although I no longer live in Orange County, my family and many of my closest friends still do. They regularly describe teenagers weaving through intersections, ignoring traffic signals, and treating neighborhood streets as racetracks. People in my hometown worry that a preventable accident could change their lives forever.

The issue has become impossible to ignore. Residents can see it on neighborhood streets every day, and the data now confirms what they have been experiencing.

At Children’s Hospital of Orange County, pediatric e-bike injuries rose from seven cases in 2019 to 116 in 2024, with children ages 14 to 16 accounting for most of those injuries. According to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, injuries involving e-bikes and e-motorcycles have risen by 430% over four years in Southern California, and more than 100 deaths nationwide have now been linked to these vehicles.

Even more alarming, California’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System found that children aged 11 to 14 accounted for nearly 61.7% of e-motorcycle crashes, despite state law prohibiting anyone under 16 from operating them.

The problem is overwhelmingly concentrated among young riders who are not legally permitted to ride these vehicles in the first place. This is not a primary failure of regulation, as the state of California already has age restrictions, traffic laws, and operational requirements. The responsibility ultimately lies with the parents who chose to ignore them.

Adults give these vehicles to their kids, treating them as toys rather than machines capable of causing irreversible harm. They demand maturity, judgment, and training, yet many riders are years away from possessing those qualities.

When something goes wrong, people look first to schools, regulators, or lawmakers for a solution. Yet the primary responsibility has always belonged to parents.

The growing e-bike and e-motorcycle crisis exposes something larger: a breakdown in parental responsibility. Too many adults are willing to outsource supervision and discipline while expecting schools, police officers, and prosecutors to clean up the consequences.

Communities across the country are grappling with the reality that powerful and dangerous technology is being placed in the hands of young children. E-bikes may be the current example, but the underlying issue is much broader. Too many parents have come to treat supervision as optional while expecting institutions to absorb the problem when things go wrong.

No reasonable parent would hand a middle schooler the keys to a pickup truck and send him onto public roads unsupervised. Yet many are willing to give children e-motorcycles capable of reaching dangerous speeds, only to act surprised when tragedy follows. Technology may have changed, but parental responsibility has not.

The answer is not a new federal mandate from Washington, D.C., but rather ensuring that local law enforcement has the resources needed to enforce the laws already on the books. Parents who knowingly purchase illegal vehicles, ignore warning labels, or modify bikes to exceed legal speeds should be held accountable when their negligence causes harm.

Not all the challenges facing Orange County are the same as those in other communities, which is why states and local governments should retain the flexibility to develop solutions that fit their needs.

Orange County officials have begun to act on this issue. Earlier this year, the District Attorney’s Office launched a RIDE SAFELY unit dedicated to prosecuting people who knowingly hand their kids illegal, modified, or age-inappropriate vehicles. Parents are finally being held accountable, but the fact that this is required in the first place shows that many parents have been negligent of their duties.

Ed Ashman survived a war only to lose his life on a quiet street in his neighborhood. He deserved better than becoming a case study.

Orange County is showing the first steps to what accountability looks like. The question is whether other communities will learn from its example before similar accidents unfold in their own backyards.

E-bikes and e-motorcycles did not create the problem; they have exposed it. When parents hand powerful vehicles to children without accountability, tragedy should not surprise us. If we fail to address that reality, Orange County’s story will not remain isolated. It will become America’s.
