13-Year-Old DJ Daniel, Former Secret Service Honorary Agent, Sworn in as U.S. Border Patrol Agent

DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old boy who made headlines earlier this year when he was honored as an honorary Secret Service agent during President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, has now been officially sworn in as a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Daniel’s story captured public attention when he was invited to participate in the security detail for the high-profile event, reflecting the special recognition and trust placed in the young boy with a strong passion for national security.
