During a congressional address, President Trump honored Devarjay 'DJ' Daniel, a young cancer survivor, by fulfilling his dream of becoming a law enforcement officer.

  • Devarjay 'DJ' Daniel, a 13-year-old battling a brain tumor, was named an honorary Secret Service agent by President Donald Trump during a speech to Congress.
  • DJ's dream of becoming a police officer has led to him being sworn in as an honorary officer by multiple police departments in the past.
  • The Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, presented DJ with an official agent ID as he proudly watched from the gallery in his police uniform.
  • Trump highlighted DJ's resilience, noting that doctors had initially given him only months to live after his 2018 diagnosis, but he has defied expectations for over six years.
  • The president also used the moment to promote his administration's new health initiative, 'Make America Healthy Again,' aimed at combating rising childhood cancer rates.
