Jim Wright, the Texas Railroad Commissioner, has always viewed his wife Sherri as more than just his life partner. In a poignant moment captured by The American Border Story, Wright expresses, “She’s not only my wife, she’s my best friend. We’ve always been inseparable. Together, we are stronger than we are apart.”

For the first time, the Wrights are publicly sharing their personal journey following the devastating 2017 accident that left Sherri permanently paralyzed. The crash turned an ordinary morning into a life-altering event, reshaping nearly every facet of their existence.

Reflecting on their beginnings, Sherri recalls meeting Jim in San Antonio. At that time, her desk was humorously positioned right in front of the men’s restroom, a twist of fate that led to their initial encounter.

In related news, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has thrown her support behind Trump’s ‘Dalilah Law,’ following a tragic incident that left a young girl unable to walk or talk.

“Everybody would always talk to me except for Jim,” she said in the video.

Jim Wright said he immediately noticed her.

“I remember meeting her there and thinking to myself that’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid my eyes on,” he said.

After weeks of small conversations, the two became close friends before eventually marrying in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo.

“It started out as being a friend turning into my best friend and then turning into my wife,” Jim Wright said. “It’s just been amazing.”

Then came Jan. 9, 2017.

“It was a normal day,” Sherri Wright said.

She had just dropped the couple’s youngest son off at school and was driving home when the crash happened about a mile from their house.

Sherri Wright recalled the moment of impact and waking up trapped inside the wreckage.

“I remember my breath letting go,” she said. “I just remember looking up and glass was going in my eyes.”

“My son, he was trying as hard as he could to bend the metal to get me out,” she added.

Jim Wright said he rushed to the scene before later learning his wife had been paralyzed.

“And I just told him I didn’t want to live,” Sherri Wright said.

“My whole life I worked. I took care of my kids,” she said. “It changed everything. Basically took away more than half of my life.”

The couple said the crash forced them to adapt to in-home care while Sherri Wright struggled with the loss of independence that came with her injuries.

Sherri Wright also described the emotional toll of feeling invisible in public.

“You know, I go places and they talk to whoever’s beside me rather than talk to me,” she said. “Just because my hands and my legs don’t work doesn’t mean that I’m not a person. You deserve the respect that everybody else gets.”

After describing the impact the crash had on their family, both Jim and Sherri Wright connected their experience to concerns about illegal immigration and border security.

“Families affected by illegal immigrants passing through this border should never have had to endure this,” Sherri Wright said. “We do not not want you here. Just come here legally.”

Jim Wright said he believes the broader issue goes beyond a single crash.

“That’s the root of the cause,” he said. “Until we can figure out how to get a better grasp on controlling that cartel activity that’s going on in Mexico, I don’t think we’re ever going to be out of the dramatic expense that we’ve had to pay.”

Still, the couple said they have focused on moving forward with the support of their family.

“I think there’s so many people out there like me,” Sherri Wright said. “I’m just fortunate that I have a family that have all come around me and helped me and we can do things together as a family instead of me sitting in a nursing home.”

“You can’t stay in and try to lay blame on everybody else,” Jim Wright said. “You’ve got to make the best of that situation and it gets easier over time.”

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after her departure from the Justice Department by President Trump, as reported on Tuesday.

Bondi, who is 60 years old, has undergone treatment for her condition and is currently in recovery, according to information from Axios.

This news emerges as President Trump has reportedly selected Bondi to join an advisory committee focused on artificial intelligence.

Despite being dismissed from her role at the Justice Department, coinciding with her attendance at a Supreme Court session on a significant birthright citizenship case, Bondi is set to join the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), Axios reports.

On social media, Bondi has been lauded for her resilience and positive approach in dealing with her cancer diagnosis.

“Pam has been quietly kicking cancer’s ass the last few weeks,” podcast host and former White House official Katie Miller wrote on X.

“[Bondi] has a heart of gold,” Miller added.

A Fox News journalist faced verbal abuse from an anti-ICE protester who called her a ‘Nazi b****’ amidst ongoing tensions between left-wing protesters and federal agents at a New Jersey facility.

These clashes at Delaney Hall in Newark have persisted for several days, fueled by a hunger and labor strike initiated by migrants held inside. The situation has drawn attention from various New Jersey politicians, who have joined the protesters in solidarity.

On Tuesday, Fox News reporter Alexis McAdams was on-site covering the unfolding events when she approached a demonstrator who appeared visibly upset with her presence.

“So the other situation is there’s people like this: You are a protester who’s been out here and you have a dirty mouth,” McAdams remarked while addressing the protester.

The unnamed protester from New Jersey fired back, repeatedly labeling McAdams as a ‘Nazi b****.’

McAdams used the confrontation to explain how unruly the crowd in Newark was behaving. 

‘So that’s just what we deal with. So just for people that want to know what it’s like to cover these protests, it’s constant with this. This is what these people do. They want people who are in this country illegally to be released out onto the streets. DHS says that’s what they’re gonna not be doing,’ she said.

The protester went after McAdams again: ‘Nazi b****! Nazi b****! That’s what you are!’

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment. 

Protesters have hounded Delaney Hall in Newark for days amid a hunger and labor strike launched by hundreds of detainees inside, according to reports.

The facility has been a point of controversy during the second Trump administration, with multiple Democratic politicians demanding its closure over concerns of poor conditions. 

The migrants claim that they have been served beans and salad with worms inside, have been placed in crowded rooms without air conditioning and have had their immigration cases ignored by federal judges, the New Jersey Monitor reported. Some have been there for a year.

Governor Mikie Sherrill and Senator Andy Kim, alongside several members of the state’s Democratic-heavy Congressional delegation, showed up to the building on Monday demanding answers. 

While Kim was allowed in the building, shortly after, he was hit by pepper balls shot out by federal agents at the anti-ICE activists.

‘What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country,’ Kim told NJ.com, adding that he had trouble breathing.

Kim – who said earlier Monday the facility should be shut down ‘immediately’ – said before the melee broke out that he was trying to get the agents to stop pointing guns at protesters and broker a truce that would allow immigration activists to inspect cars leaving the facility.

‘It’s sad, it’s a sad day,’ he added.

When contacted by the Daily Mail, Kim spoke in somewhat general terms about what he witnessed during his oversight visit.  

‘I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center, Delaney Hall, today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help,’ he said. 

‘Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country.’

Kim demanded ‘accountability’ from the Trump administration and a closure to the facility, which he called a ‘failure.’ 

‘Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again.’

A DHS spokesman told the Daily Mail that ‘no individuals were directly struck by pepper ball projectiles.’

They said that rioters were obstructing federal agents from getting out of Delaney Hall and had given multiple legal commands to clear the area.

When they refused, the DHS claimed officers ‘followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to protect themselves, the public, and federal property.’

‘The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting. DHS is taking appropriate and constitutional measures to uphold the rule of law and protect our officers and the public from dangerous rioters.

‘We remind the public that rioting is dangerous – obstructing law enforcement is a federal crime and assaulting law enforcement is a felony.’

A spokesman for Governor Sherill told the Daily Mail that she spoke to Kim earlier Monday evening and criticized the treatment by federal agents. 

‘He is a sitting US Senator with a right to oversight of this federal facility, and he should be able to freely access it without being harmed,’ Steve Sigmund said.  

Earlier in the day, Sherrill expressed outrage at being denied entry to the facility. 

Sherrill, who has also demanded that the facility be closed, said that Homeland Security’s denial of access suggests they are hiding something.
