Devarjaye "DJ" Daniel was sworn in as honorary deputy mayor for public safety in New York City on Tuesday morning. 

The 13-year-old cancer survivor, who was honored by President Donald Trump during his joint address to Congress earlier this year, can add the new title to his extensive law enforcement resume. 

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my daddy," Daniel said on Tuesday, adding, "My dad's been driving me everywhere. No matter how tired he is, he still gets the job done. And out in Texas, we don't say we get it done, we get 'er done, like my dad says."

Mayor Eric Adams teased the swearing-in ceremony by announcing that Deputy Mayor Kaz Daughtry would be "stepping aside" from his public safety leadership role.

In light of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office announcing four new indictments against Adams' associates last week, Adams' announcement seemed all the more likely. 

"I will be stepping down just for a small bit today, and DJ Daniel will be taking my place as the honorary deputy mayor for public safety," Daughtry said Tuesday morning, joking about the "breaking news today."

Adams announced ahead of Daniel's swearing-in that the 13-year-old had set the Guinness Book of World record for being sworn into the most law enforcement agencies across the country at more than 1,350 agencies, including a role as the New York City police commissioner earlier this year. 

Daniel was catapulted into the national spotlight when he was named an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent during Trump's joint address to Congress earlier this year. 

Since then, Daniel has been honored by law enforcement agencies across the country with the support of his father, Theodis, who announced his bid for Texas' 18th congressional district earlier this month. 

"When it comes to choosing people to serve in the critical role, we are looking for courage, commitment and experience. And you see all these stars, the silver, the diamonds. He has the experience that we need. He's battle-tested. He's a battle-tested leader with a strong record of public service, and we are proud to swear him in," Adams said. 

The mayor, who said public safety is his administration's top priority, announced that Daniel would visit the Empire State Building and other tourist attractions on Tuesday. 

Adams presented Daniel with a "Deputy Mayor DJ" uniform and then handed him a proclamation following the swearing-in ceremony. 

"DJ initially had five months to live, and we've beaten that," Daniel shared with Fox News Digital earlier this month. 

Daniel was diagnosed with terminal brain and spinal cancer when he was 6 years old but has continued to defy the odds. 

During his congressional address, Trump described Daniel as "a young man who truly loves our police" as he named him an honorary Secret Service agent to a standing ovation from Congress. 

Authorities in different parts of the country have announced the arrests of multiple illegal immigrants accused of fatally striking drivers, pedestrians and even a teen on a bicycle in recent days, according to authorities and local reports.

"It seems to be almost a daily occurrence where an illegal alien driving kills innocent Americans," Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "All of these deaths are preventable because these illegal aliens should have never been in our country."

In Louisiana, 31-year-old Juan Alfredo Chavarria Lezama is accused of slamming into a bicycle-riding 15-year-old boy in Livingston Parish on Thursday at around 7 p.m.

The unnamed child victim was airlifted to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries, according to the sheriff's office. Chavarria faces charges of vehicular homicide, driving while intoxicated, driving without a license and other charges. He was the subject of a detainer request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorities said.

Around 1 p.m. Friday in Lewiston, Maine, 31-year-old Lionel Francisco allegedly drove up a curb in a 2013 Buick and hit a Massachusetts woman who was walking at the edge of a park, according to the Lewiston Police Department.

Francisco, who was driving with a learner's permit, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators – however, he was also subject to an ICE detainer and is from Angola, authorities said.

ICE said in a statement that his tourist visa expired on July 30, but he remained in the country illegally.

In Florida, an alleged illegal immigrant from India named Harjinder Singh is accused of making an unlawful U-turn near Port St. Lucie and causing a crash that killed three people riding in a minivan.

Singh allegedly failed to recognize three out of four highway traffic signs and answered just two questions out of 12 correctly in an English proficiency assessment delivered by transportation officials, Fox News Digital reported previously. Despite laws preventing illegals from obtaining full commercial driver's licenses, Singh received one from Washington state in 2023. He later received a limited license from California.

And in late July, Wisconsin police arrested 30-year-old Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, accused of driving the wrong way before slamming into two high school sweethearts, killing them near Madison, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.

According to the outlet, she had a previous conviction for drunken driving in 2020.

President Donald Trump campaigned heavily on fighting migrant crime, and a nationwide crackdown has been underway since he returned to office in January. 

"Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them—and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila—a criminal illegal alien from Honduras," McLaughlin said.

She said that ICE had filed a detainer request that was not honored due to local sanctuary policies.
